Services

At Salida Acupuncture, we offer a variety of services tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our main service is acupuncture, a time-tested technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. We also offer AcuGlow Facial Rejuvenation, a deeply relaxing facial that combines cupping, gua sha, light therapy, and acupuncture to restore youthful radiance.

In addition, we provide Celluma Light Therapy, a phototherapy session that uses low-level light energy to improve cellular health and reduce inflammation. We offer community acupuncture once a month, providing affordable access to this powerful healing modality. We also provide pediatric acupuncture for children aged 13 and younger, and accept several insurance plans, including American Specialty Health, Bright Health, Cigna, Providence Health, and Triwest.

If you are new to acupuncture, we offer a 15-minute free consultation to help you learn more about this powerful healing modality and discuss whether it would be a good fit for your health concerns. During your first visit, we will take a comprehensive health history and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

To prepare for your first visit, we recommend wearing loose-fitting clothes that can be easily rolled up above your elbows and knees. Be sure to eat a light meal within a few hours prior to arriving, and avoid brushing your tongue the morning of your appointment.
