What We Offer

Integrated Therapies

A rare combination of disciplines under one roof, addressing the root cause of complex conditions through a personalized, multi-modal approach.

Primary specialty$125 / session

Acupuncture

Orthopedic acupuncture as a primary modality — targeting the root cause of pain through precise needle placement that releases fascial restrictions, reduces inflammation, and restores optimal function.

Sports injuries$125 / session

Dry Needling

Trigger point dry needling targets myofascial pain syndromes and muscle dysfunction directly, complementing acupuncture to accelerate recovery from sports injuries and chronic tension patterns.

30 or 45 minFrom $100

Medical Massage

Therapeutic bodywork addressing soft tissue dysfunction. Available as a standalone session (30 or 45 min) or combined with acupuncture for a comprehensive treatment in a single visit.

Nerve & tissue repair$50–$150

Microcurrent Therapy

Low-level electrical stimulation that accelerates tissue repair, reduces pain signals, and enhances recovery — particularly effective for nerve damage, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation.

Fertility specialty$125 / session

Fertility Acupuncture

Specialized acupuncture protocol supporting reproductive health — regulating cycles, improving ovarian function, reducing stress hormones, and addressing hormonal imbalances. Integrated with personalized herbal medicine for a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to fertility support.

Fertility specialtyCustom

Herbal Medicine

Evidence-based herbal formulas — especially for fertility support — tailored to each patient's pattern. Classic formulas like Si Wu Tang and Ba Zhen Tang are adapted for your specific constitution and needs.

Best value$175

Combo: Acu + Massage

The most comprehensive single-visit treatment: acupuncture combined with targeted massage therapy. Ideal for complex musculoskeletal conditions that benefit from both modalities in the same session.

Insurance: We don't bill insurance directly, but provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients recover a significant portion of costs this way. We accept all payment forms, including Afterpay.

Your Practitioner

Devin McGilvery,
L.Ac., LMT

After more than 13 years in clinical practice, I've learned that most persistent pain and complex conditions have one thing in common: they've been treated one dimension at a time. My approach is different.

By combining orthopedic acupuncture, massage therapy, dry needling, and microcurrent therapy — all under one roof, in a single practitioner — I can address the structural, neurological, and energetic layers of your condition simultaneously.

Patients typically come to me after exhausting other options. What sets this practice apart is the ability to identify and treat the root cause — not just manage symptoms. Whether you're dealing with a decade of back pain, a sports injury that won't heal, or fertility challenges that conventional medicine can't explain, there's a path forward.

The Philosophy

Eastern medicine has always understood what Western science is now confirming: the body functions as an interconnected system. Pain in your shoulder is often rooted in patterns originating elsewhere. Hormonal imbalance is inseparable from stress, sleep, and digestion.

Our treatments are designed to address these connections — not isolate a symptom and suppress it.

"The body wants to heal. Our job is to remove the obstacles and give it the support it needs to do so."

Patient Stories

Real Results,
Real People.

Most patients come after exhausting other options. Here's what they found.

Chronic Migraines

"I'd been dealing with chronic migraines for over three years. After four sessions, the frequency dropped by more than half. By session eight, they were essentially gone. I was skeptical going in — I'm not anymore."

Verified Patient

Shoulder Injury — Avoided Surgery

"Shoulder surgery was on the table. My orthopedic surgeon had essentially given up on non-surgical options. Two months of treatment here and I'm back to training. The approach here is different — they actually figure out why it's not healing."

Verified Patient

Fertility Support

"After two failed IVF cycles, I added acupuncture and herbal medicine to our protocol. I can't say it was the only factor, but I conceived naturally four months into treatment. Devin was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our outcome."

Verified Patient

Chronic Lower Back Pain

"I've had lower back pain since a car accident in 2019. Three different physical therapists, two chiropractors — everyone helped a little, but nothing lasted. This was the first time someone explained what was actually happening structurally, and actually fixed it."
