Traditional Asian health, whose philosophical foundations reach back over
five-thousand years, encompasses a wide variety of holistic modalities that seek
to maintain health through careful balance. These mediums include not only the more
widely-known arts of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and martial arts practice;
but also lesser-known but equally effective approaches such as cupping, moxabustion,
tui-na massage, gua-sha, bone setting, soft-tissue manipulation, and many others.
Acupuncture and other Asian healing modalities can treat a wide variety of health concerns including but not limited to: stress, depression, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, sports injuries, menstrual pain and irregularity, peri-menopause, substance addiction, headache, compulsive behavior, digestive problems, constipation, the common cold, and more.
Our practice in Richmond, Virginia, includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, and martial
arts and Qigong training.

Our Logo
Our logo is the Taoist symbol for Yin and Yang with the characters for medicine
(yi) and martial skill (wu) replacing the traditional small
circles.
Yin and Yang are mutually opposing and creating forces that represent the harmony and balance of the universe. Since from the Chinese point of view, our body is a microcosm of the universe, the symbol here represents harmony of the body.
We seek to achieve this harmony through healing arts (such as acupuncture
and herbal medicine) and martial arts. While
these two forms seem contradictory in nature, they are part of a whole.
Injury in martial arts can be treated through medicine, our martial arts
practice gives us a better understanding of the body so we can provide
more effective medical treatment.
Our Chinese Name
The first character of our clinic name, "fu," means "happiness." The second,
"kang" refers to "health." The third, "tang," means "hall;" many Traditional
Chinese medical practitioners and acupuncture clinics use this character to refer
to their clinic. Therefore, "fu-kang-tang" is the "Hall of Happiness and Health." It
represents the hope that our lives will be fulfilling, healthy, and full
of happiness.
