Family Medicine
Dr. Gao brings over 20 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine to the care of patients of all ages. Her integrative approach combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance to address the root causes of illness — not just the symptoms. Whether you are seeking relief from a chronic condition or simply want to maintain good health, Dr. Gao tailors every treatment plan to the individual needs of each family member.
Colds, Flu & Respiratory Infections
TCM has a long history of effectively treating acute respiratory conditions. Acupuncture and herbal formulas can shorten the duration of illness, relieve congestion, sore throat, and fever, and strengthen the immune system to reduce the frequency of recurrence.
Digestive Disorders
From irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux to bloating, constipation, and chronic diarrhea, Dr. Gao uses acupuncture and customized herbal prescriptions to restore healthy digestive function and relieve discomfort.
Headaches & Migraines
Regular acupuncture treatment has been shown to significantly reduce the frequency and severity of tension headaches and migraines. Dr. Gao identifies the underlying pattern of imbalance contributing to each patient's headaches and addresses it directly.
Fatigue & Low Energy
Persistent fatigue is often a sign of deeper imbalance in the body. Dr. Gao assesses the root cause — whether related to stress, poor sleep, nutritional deficiency, or organ dysfunction — and creates a treatment plan to restore vitality and stamina.
Allergies & Sinus Conditions
Seasonal allergies, year-round allergic rhinitis, and chronic sinusitis respond well to acupuncture and herbal medicine. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, clearing congestion, and building long-term immune resilience.
Anxiety, Stress & Insomnia
TCM views emotional and physical health as inseparable. Acupuncture calms the nervous system, regulates stress hormones, and promotes restful sleep. Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed after their very first session.
Pain Management
Whether the source is arthritis, sports injury, neck and shoulder tension, or general musculoskeletal pain, acupuncture is a proven, drug-free option for pain relief. Dr. Gao combines needling with other TCM modalities such as cupping and moxibustion for comprehensive results.
Children's Health
Dr. Gao offers gentle, child-appropriate treatments for common pediatric concerns including recurrent ear infections, asthma, digestive issues, and bedwetting. Pediatric acupuncture uses very fine needles or non-needle techniques to ensure a comfortable experience for young patients.
