Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an essential aspect of traditional Chinese medicine practice that has been employed for centuries to address a range of health concerns. This ancient practice involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to target the central nervous system and stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. 

Today, acupuncture remains a valuable tool in addressing many health issues.

Whether used as an alternative or complementary therapy, it has shown effective results in managing pain, reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing skin health, improving digestion, addressing neurological conditions, and more.

At California Mobile Acupuncture, we specialize in providing in-home acupuncture treatments to address diverse health conditions and enhance your overall well-being.

Understanding Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves targeting specific points called acupoints on your body. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, these points are situated along the pathways through which your body's vital energy, known as qi (pronounced "chee"), flows.

The goal of acupuncture is to stimulate these points to rebalance the flow of qi and restore health. It is often used to treat various health conditions and promote your overall well-being. 

From a Western scientific perspective, it is thought that when acupuncture needles are inserted, the central nervous system activates and encourages the brain to release biochemicals into the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and circulatory system. This helps to bring about homeostasis (or balance) in the body.

What to Expect During an In-Home Acupuncture Session

At California Mobile Acupuncture, our mobile services allow us to bring the healing benefits of acupuncture directly to you, no matter where you are.

Our acupuncturists conduct gentle and calming sessions and are approachable for easy communication. You are encouraged to discuss any questions you may have with them at any time before, during, or after the session.

Here’s what you can expect during an acupuncture session.

  • Consultation: Your session may begin with a consultation where our practitioner discusses your medical history, current health concerns, and goals for treatment.
  • Assessment: This involves a physical examination and the use of traditional diagnostic methods. The assessment helps determine the imbalance of qi in your body and identify suitable acupuncture points.
  • Needle Insertion: Thin, sterile needles will be gently inserted into specific acupuncture points on your body. You may feel a slight sensation as the needles are inserted, but it is usually not painful.
  • Needle Stimulation: Once the needles are in place, the practitioner may gently manipulate them to stimulate the acupuncture points. This can involve techniques like twirling, tapping, or applying heat.
  • Rest Period: You will typically rest with the needles in place for about 15 to 30 minutes. This allows you to relax and let the treatment take effect.
  • Additional Modalities: Depending on your condition, we often include other therapeutic modalities to treat your symptoms in addition to acupuncture. This can include cupping, moxibustion, and tuina (therapeutic massage).
  • Follow-Up: Depending on your condition and treatment plan, you may require multiple acupuncture sessions to achieve the desired results. Our practitioner will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you, including the frequency and duration of sessions.
  • Aftercare: After the session, you may feel relaxed or energized. You may also feel sore or experience bruising, which is normal and should only last up to 48 hours and will go away on its own. We encourage you to listen to your body and rest as needed, as this is when further therapeutic effects can take place. The practitioner may also recommend lifestyle changes or self-care practices to support your treatment between sessions.

It is recommended to drink plenty of water and rest as needed after an acupuncture session.

Safety and Potential Risks

Acupuncture is generally considered a safe treatment when conducted by a qualified practitioner. However, it does carry specific safety concerns and potential risks.

We prioritize your safety by understanding these risks and preparing appropriate responses to ensure your safety during treatment.

Occasionally, acupuncture may cause minor bleeding or feelings of dizziness or faintness. To mitigate these potential side effects, we encourage you to make sure you have eaten or have had a light snack prior to your appointment time. Please note that being on blood thinners is not a contraindication to receiving acupuncture.

Before starting acupuncture, we will thoroughly assess your medical history and current medications. This helps us tailor your treatment plan to ensure safety and optimize effectiveness.
