Our clinics are dedicated to help and support each patient. Our goal is to help out patients physically, emotionally and spiritually to achieve best quality of life. From the ancient time, foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine had been emphasize on prevent diseases from occurring, stop diseases from progressing, early treatments and cures. And it has always been our focus. With our clinics, we give our patients the best care. Each patients is being evaluated and tailored with a individual treatment plan to achieve maxium benefits.

Our vision is to help create a healthier and more active community. We believe in providing a unique approach of combining alternative medicine with conventional medicine, and public education for patients to understand their body and better care themselves.

One of the many techniques that distinguishes us is that we are one of the few Full Body & more experienced clinical practitioners in the area. Our practitioners combined have more than 50 years of clinic experiences and are generation acupuncturists who follow my family’s foot step. Acupuncture, Cupping, Guasha, TuiNa are some of the modality we offer.

The practitioners in the office participate, and are in network with most of the insurance companies including, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and United Healthcare. It is important to us, that we give our patients the best healthcare experience, from the minute they walk in the door, to the time they walk out.

I often describe what I do as using the time honored art of acupuncture
to allow individuals to live as well as they possibly can. I say this
because: Though relatiively new to the west, Acupuncture has been in
continuous use for thousands of years in the East and can arguably be
named as the most used system of medicine in the world. I view
acupuncture more of an art than a science. successful treatment, in my
experience, is based on balancing multiple principles that are involved
in Chinese Medical philosophy, rather than chasing symptoms. In doing
so, I am repeatedly inspired by witnessing how my patients are able to
live with less pain and discomfort, and more fully then before.

About Dr. Amsu El
I’m Dr. Amsu El. I help people feel better in their bodies, think more clearly, and make changes that last.
My approach is simple and rigorous. I listen deeply, find the real pattern, and act with precision. I build plans case by case using electrical acupuncture, non-invasive bio-electrical therapy, breathwork, herbs, and practical lifestyle design. No templates. Your care is designed for you.

I was shaped by family, community, and wise Jegna's who insisted on integrity and results. Losing my sister young showed me what happens when care chases symptoms instead of terrain. In my clinic we intervene early, before a molehill becomes a mountain, and we pair nature with science so progress is real and measurable.

Sometimes the right move is acupuncture or targeted electrical work. Sometimes it is sunlight, grounding, target journaling, or speaking the truth your body has been holding. Each tool has a time. The person determines the method.

I am here to reflect who you are, lighten the load you are carrying, and help you align with your internal compass, the most reliable healer you have. If that resonates, we can work.
