About Acupuncture in Redondo Beach CA

Acupuncture is a noninvasive and nontoxic treatment method for chronic pain. At your appointment, metallic needles are placed on specific areas of your body. The process is relatively painless. Some patients report feeling a warm, pulling sensation while others feel cool and light. Treatments awaken the nervous system and internal organs, allowing them to begin their own self-healing power. The goal is not to just relieve symptoms, but to understand the underlying causes of disease. Each session provides both the body and mind with relaxation and restoration.

Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs are used to alleviate certain symptoms during acupuncture therapy. Each blend of herbs is catered to the patient and their unique needs. These formulas have been perfected over thousands of years, a natural remedy for the body.

Cupping Therapy can be used alongside acupuncture therapy. Cupping can treat respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions. Suction is applied to the skin, stimulating lymphatic and circulatory systems. There are different methods of cupping, including dry, fire, wet, massage, and mechanical.
