What Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Services Does Ace Acupuncture Offer?

Updated

Ace Acupuncture (Ace Acupuncture Clinic of Milwaukee) offers a broad menu of Chinese medicine services: several styles of acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping, herbal medicine in multiple forms, nutritional counseling, bodywork (Tui-Na, reflexology, acupressure), movement and breathing classes (Tai Chi, Qigong), and online consultations with the chief acupuncturist. The clinic presents itself around "highest success with least sessions" and 60 years of integrated medical experience. This overview covers what each service is, so you can judge which category fits your needs before calling.

Acupuncture Styles

The clinic lists these acupuncture variants:

  • Classical body acupuncture — needles at traditional body points; the most common starting point for general complaints.
  • Ear acupuncture — ear points, often used for pain, stress, and habit-related concerns.
  • Scalp acupuncture — scalp needling, typically associated with neurological and movement-related conditions.
  • Electrical acupuncture — needles paired with a mild electrical current, commonly used for pain.
  • Wrist/ankle acupuncture — needles placed near the wrists and ankles rather than at the symptom site.
  • Cosmetic/pediatric acupuncture — a separate category for cosmetic goals and for children.
  • Low-level laser acupuncture — a needle-free option using laser light at points.

If needles are a concern, the laser option and acupressure are the non-needle alternatives on the list. For children or patients who specifically want a female practitioner, the clinic notes that Dr. Jiajia Xiang (OMD, L.Ac) handles pediatric patients and those requesting a female doctor.

Herbal Medicine and Nutrition

Herbal medicine is offered in several formats, which matters if you prefer pills over brewing:

  • Pills and tablets
  • Single-herb teas and 1:10 concentrated extracts
  • Individually customized herbal prescriptions
  • External heated herbal infusion/application
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Chinese food therapy

Customized prescriptions are prepared after a diagnosis, so the specific formula depends on the assessment rather than a fixed product list.

Adjunct Therapies and Bodywork

Alongside needling, the clinic lists:

  • Moxibustion — heat applied via burning moxa.
  • Cupping
  • Chinese massage / Tui-Na / acupressure
  • Whole-body reflexology and acu-reflexology
  • Self-acupressure therapy instruction
  • Biofeedback therapy, color therapy, and biomedical Qigong

These are typically used together with acupuncture rather than as standalone replacements, though the clinic does not publish a fixed protocol for combining them.

Movement, Classes, and Lifestyle Programs

The clinic runs instruction in:

  • Tai Chi Chuan (Yang style)
  • Relaxation Qigong, Slim Qigong, Energizing Qigong
  • Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Well-being for the middle-aged

It also offers a holistic TCM exam using tongue and pulse diagnosis, which is the diagnostic step that precedes most treatment plans.

Online Consultation

Dr. Jin offers a paid online one-to-one consultation. The stated process:

  1. Send a request through the online form or email to schedule a personalized 45-minute consultation for $100.
  2. Before the session, complete an intake health history form and send a photo of your tongue.
  3. During the session, Dr. Jin answers questions and performs a holistic TCM diagnosis over the internet.
  4. After diagnosis, he may prescribe customized herbal prescriptions with health instructions.

This is the option to consider if you cannot attend in person; it is a consultation and diagnosis service, not a remote needling session.

How to Choose Among the Services

  • Pain or a specific physical complaint: start with classical body acupuncture, possibly with electrical acupuncture; cupping or moxibustion may be added.
  • Prefer no needles: ask about low-level laser acupuncture, acupressure, or Tui-Na.
  • Want herbs: request a holistic TCM exam first so a customized formula can be prescribed; pills/tablets suit those who won't brew teas.
  • Child or preference for a female practitioner: request Dr. Jiajia Xiang when scheduling.
  • Can't travel to Milwaukee: use the online consultation, and prepare the intake form and tongue photo in advance.
  • General stress or prevention rather than a diagnosis: the Qigong and Tai Chi classes are the lowest-commitment entry point.

Call 414-438-9488 to confirm which practitioner and service fit your situation, since the site lists services but not a per-service price or scheduling grid.
