Acupuncture in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills | Clinic & Treatments

Acupuncture aims to improve the body’s normal physiological functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomical sites–commonly referred to as acupuncture points or acupoints. Modern medical research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular systems, and digestive systems. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help resolve pain, anxiety, and digestive function, improve sleep, and promote a lasting sense of well-being both during and after treatments.

The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of extremely fine, sterile needles into the skin. Additionally, pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may be coupled with acupuncture to enhance its bio-stimulatory effects further. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and ointments.
