Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine in the Heart of Sacramento

Acupuncture is one of the longest living forms of medicine in the world. Used for thousands of years in China and the rest of East Asia, acupuncture has become available to most Americans in just the last three decades.

Although acupuncture and herbal medicine are considered complementary/alternative therapies in the U.S., generation upon generation of clinical results illuminate the power and efficacy of these medical modalities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt? What does it feel like?

Acupuncture treatments are usually very relaxing, even blissful. Acupuncture needles feel nothing at all like getting a shot. They are hair-thin, and you may not even notice the insertion. Once a needle has been inserted, people often feel some sensation: warmth, tingling, or a light buzzing.

How quickly does it work? How many treatments do I need?

The answer to this question varies greatly from person to person. If your chief problem is acute, and you are generally very healthy, only one or two treatments may be necessary. If your problem is long-standing, resolution may take several months of regular treatment. Usually, six to ten weekly or bi-weekly visits comprise a full course of treatment. Many patients experience a noticeable improvement within three treatments.
