What Is Chinese Medicine—and How Can It Help You?
Acupuncture – Realign Your Energy, Relieve Pain Naturally
Acupuncture is a time-honored medical therapy that has been used for over 2,000 years to support the body’s natural healing processes. Today, it is practiced worldwide to help address a wide range of concerns including pain, sleep issues, stress, hormonal imbalance, and digestive health.
During treatment, very fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into specific points on the body by a licensed acupuncturist. In TCM, these points help regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body. Modern research also shows that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, circulation, and natural pain-relieving pathways, helping restore balance and promote healing.
Acupuncture is a safe, clean, and gentle therapy that works with your body to support overall wellness.
Acupuncture—along with the therapies listed on this page—is an important part of TCM and our integrative approach to care.

Herbal Medicine – Natural Support for Long-Term Health
Chinese Herbal Medicine is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using plant-based formulas to help restore balance and support the body’s natural healing systems. Rather than targeting just one symptom, herbal medicine works to support the underlying patterns affecting your health—commonly helping with hormone balance, digestion, immune function, energy, and stress resilience.
At East West Wellness, Dr. Donna personally designs herbal formulas based on your symptoms, constitution, and TCM diagnosis. This customized approach allows herbs to work synergistically to support your body in a precise and individualized way.
Herbal formulas are available in easy-to-use forms, including:
• Capsules or tablets for convenient daily use
• Tinctures (liquid extracts)
• Granules that dissolve in warm water like tea

Gua Sha Therapy – Relieve Pain and Boost Circulation
Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses a smooth tool to gently glide across the skin, creating controlled stimulation of the tissues beneath the surface. This process helps increase circulation, release muscle tension, and move stagnation, allowing the body to recover and heal more efficiently.
Gua Sha is commonly used to help relieve muscle and neck pain, tight shoulders, and athletic soreness, while also supporting immune function by encouraging lymphatic movement and healthy circulation. When used on the face, facial gua sha can help improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and support natural skin rejuvenation.
At East West Wellness, Gua Sha is performed by trained, licensed practitioners using safe techniques and professional-grade tools. When applied correctly, it is a safe, effective, and gentle therapy that supports both pain relief and overall wellness.
Cupping Therapy – Release Tension and Detox Naturally
Cupping therapy is a TCM technique that has gained widespread popularity in recent years—used by professional athletes, wellness practitioners, and health influencers for its ability to support recovery and overall wellness.
During treatment, specialized cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction that improves circulation, releases muscle tension, and helps move stagnation in the tissues. This process can support pain relief, muscle recovery, immune function, and respiratory health, making it a popular therapy for everything from sore backs and tight shoulders to colds and seasonal congestion.
All cupping sessions are performed by trained, licensed practitioners in a clean clinical setting, ensuring a safe, effective, and personalized treatment experience.

Moxibustion Therapy – Warm the Body, Move Energy, Reduce Inflammation
Moxibustion, also known as Moxa, uses the warming herb mugwort applied over acupuncture points to stimulate Qi, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing.
It can help with fatigue, chronic pain, cold conditions, and menstrual imbalances, making it ideal for patients needing energy support, immune boost, or relief from persistent discomfort. Moxibustion is also especially beneficial for cancer care, geriatric patients, and those with weakened immune systems.
This safe, gentle, and personalized therapy is offered at our TCM clinic near Denver and Boulder.
Tui Na – Chinese Medical Massage for Pain Relief and Wellness
Tui Na is a therapeutic manual therapy used to restore musculoskeletal balance and support the body’s natural healing. Unlike spa-style massage, Tui Na combines traction, acupressure, and targeted manipulation to relieve tension, improve circulation, and aid in injury recovery.
It is often used alongside acupuncture and cupping and is particularly helpful for back pain, muscle tension, and chronic discomfort.
Tui Na can be requested during your acupuncture session or booked as a standalone service for a focused, results-driven treatment.

Hear from Our Patients
“Acupuncture was a relatively new idea to me prior to stroke and nothing that I had personally taken part in. I am so grateful to Donna Sigmond and the team at East West Wellness. Being a patient of hers has been a life changing experience for me and I own so much to Donna for greatly enhancing my quality of life post-stroke.” - Tommy P
“When I began treatments, I was extremely depressed about my medical conditions, especially IBS. There was no that I could "get rid" of the stress in my life and this made me feel rather hopeless. However, with each successive treatment and the addition of Chinese herbs, I began to notice a difference. The bloating and frequency of bowel movements significantly improved, along with the GERD. This in turn improved my depression.” - Mary D
