If you feel out of balance within your body, or even in your life, then I would recommend acupuncture and oriental medicine. Some primary examples of imbalance include: suffering from aches and pains, feelings of youth slipping away, and daily waking up to a mental state of depression and anxiety. Everyone in any state of health, and age, can benefit from acupuncture. This medicine is holistic, and it understands the body and its relationship to nature. On a personal level, acupuncture can help you find who you are, treat illnesses, and help you stay healthy, naturally.

Acupuncture in California - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. California acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.

'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.

Credentials for California licensed acupuncturists?
A licensed acupuncturist in California needs a minimum of two years college education and must complete three years of professional training and pass the State's approved licensing examination. The three year program includes both theory and hands-on clinical practice. Most States' professional training programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
