Acupuncture

A gentle, effective treatment using very thin needles to help your body come back into balance. It’s commonly used for pain, stress, sleep, digestion, and overall wellness. Most people feel deeply relaxed during treatment—some even fall asleep.

Cupping

Cupping uses gentle suction on the skin to help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. It’s great for back, neck, and shoulder tightness, and can leave temporary circular marks that fade within a few days.

Auriculotherapy

This technique focuses on specific points on the ear that correspond to different parts of the body. It’s great for stress, anxiety, cravings, pain, and overall balance. Often used as an add-on or for continued support between visits.

Electrostimulation

A gentle current is added to acupuncture needles to enhance the treatment. This helps stimulate muscles, reduce pain, and improve circulation—especially helpful for chronic pain or injuries.

"I confidently recommend Ms. Kirkman."

Lalita practices Balance Method acupuncture. When I went to see her for low back pain and migraines she placed needles on my arms and legs. It also helped reduce my appetite. Lalita is very caring and compassionate in addition to being professional.
