Founded in 2003 by Martin Herbkersman, the clinic serves the Midlands area with acupuncture, Oriental medicine, herbal, and nutritional medicine. It has performed thousands of treatments for conditions including chronic and acute pain, anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, infertility, depression, back and neck pain, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and post-chemotherapy nausea. The practice combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern complementary and alternative methods to support balanced health.

Martin Herbkersman, the clinic's founder, is a licensed acupuncturist in SC and California and is board-certified in Oriental medicine. He holds a master's degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, California, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. His training fused ancient Asian medicine with biomedicine and modern techniques. The clinic also employs a front office team, including Samantha, Grace, and Lisa, who manage patient intake and administrative support.

The clinic is located at 1825 Sumter St in downtown Columbia. It sits on Sumter Street, a short walk from Main Street, the Bouchier Building, and the Metro Region Police Department. The Comet Central bus station is also nearby, along with Ladson Presbyterian Church and Ebenezer Lutheran Church.

As a long-standing practitioner in the region, the clinic offers a specific blend of needle-based stimulation and herbal therapy. This approach targets the release of hormones and chemicals to reduce pain, regulate the endocrine system, and calm the nervous system, providing a distinct alternative to standard medical interventions in Columbia.
