Our Services

We offer a range of services, including acupuncture, massage, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and Chinese herbal remedies. Our acupuncturists are highly skilled in various modalities, including shiatsu, tui na, circulatory, reflexology, pediatric, motor point, and sport-specific cross-fiber massage. We incorporate these modalities into each treatment to restore balance in the body, relieve muscular tension, and promote healing.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a safe and effective healing technique in Chinese medicine that restores biochemical balance in the body, relieves muscle tension, and stimulates the immune system. With a growing body of research touting its efficacy, more and more insurance companies in the US are offering acupuncture coverage. Millions of Americans receive acupuncture treatments for issues and disorders, or simply to stay in good health.

How Does Acupuncture Help?

After a consultation and diagnosis, our acupuncturists insert single-use needles into highly-specific locations of the body known as acupuncture points. These points promote and restore the balance of energy in the body and stimulate nerves that transmit impulses to the brain. The brain responds to these impulses by releasing neurotransmitters and hormones, including serotonin and endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing hormones.

What Happens During an Acupuncture Treatment?

During your first acupuncture appointment, we will ask a series of questions to help put together a detailed medical history. Based on your diagnosis, we then create an individualized treatment plan for you that includes Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modalities. Our services include acupuncture, massage, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and Chinese herbal remedies.

Does Acupuncture Really Work?

Hundreds of patients from all around Orange County have come through our doors at Life Point to treat a wide variety of issues and ailments. They can attest to the effectiveness of regular acupuncture treatments. Their experience with us is borne out by research from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, which has found that acupuncture works as an effective treatment for more than 100 conditions.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is safe when administered by a trained professional and it often comes with fewer side effects than medication. The US FDA regulates the use of acupuncture needles and restricts their use exclusively to licensed practitioners. The FDA also requires acupuncture needles to be sterile, nontoxic, and labeled for single use.

Does Acupuncture Help Back Pain?

Yes. Multiple studies have demonstrated that acupuncture is an effective treatment for back pain. Our licensed board-certified acupuncturists have helped numerous patients alleviate back pain using acupuncture and other TCM modalities.
