Originating in China more than 2,000 years ago,
acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used
medical procedures in the world. The term acupuncture
describes procedures involving the stimulation of anatomical
points on the body by a variety of techniques.
Acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention is widely
practiced today. Acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct
treatment or may be included in a comprehensive program for
stroke rehabilitation, headache, Fibromyalgia, myofascial
pain, osteoarthritis, back pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, and
discomfort from arthritis or injury. One of the main reasons
patients seek acupuncture treatment is to relieve chronic
pain.
Acupuncture therapy is increasingly recognized by
traditional healthcare providers as an extremely effective
noninvasive treatment. Many insurance plans now cover these
services.
Our physicians are trained in Medical Acupuncture by the
UCLA School of Medicine.
