Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses tiny needles to awaken different points in your body, stimulating it to produce natural steroids and release endorphins. Your natural steroids decrease inflammation, while endorphins inhibit pain. All this is natural and without side effects, unlike pharmaceuticals. Not only does acupuncture reduce pain, but it also facilitates genuine healing at the site of the trauma. 

We employ auricular acupuncture, classical five-element acupuncture, five elements theory acupuncture, trigger-point acupuncture, electroacupuncture, facial acupuncture and acupressure.

Benefits (with exercise and herbs)

• Stimulates your body’s natural healing 
• Reduces pain and inflammation at the site
• Relaxes surrounding muscles, tendons and tissues
• Increases circulation to the injury, speeding recovery
• Reduces pain without the prolonged use of drugs
• Enhances surgical success
• Fully integrates with other therapies like physical or occupational therapy

Safety

We only use single-use, disposable, factory-sterilized needles.

WooRee fully complies with the laws and regulations issued by the State of California Acupuncture Board, including properly cleaning, sterilizing, and sanitizing our acupuncture equipment and office.

Auricular acupuncture

Auricular acupuncture is applying acupuncture to your ears only. Limiting acupuncture to your ears feels more comfortable to some of our patients, and it’s just as effective as other forms.
 

Classical five-element acupuncture

Part of traditional Chinese medicine since its beginning. According to this system, everything in the natural world, including your body, is made up of a combination of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. For proper health and balanced chi, you must keep these elements in balance. 
 

Five elements theory acupuncture

This subset of classical five-elements acupuncture considers your body type and constitution, with a focus on hand therapy.

Trigger-point acupuncture

Muscular therapy to treat pain. Trigger points refer to specific areas in your muscles where you feel stabbing pain, weakness, tingling or aching pain. Pain from trigger points can be localized or can affect your entire muscle. Trigger point therapy helps you relieve your current pain and prevent future pain.
 

Electroacupuncture

Acupuncture that uses electrical currents to stimulate acupuncture points and restore healing to your body. 

Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture—a safe alternative to cosmetic surgery--is a non-surgical, non-toxic, holistic procedure that reduces wrinkle lines, improves skin tone and leads to a healthier, more youthful appearance. No incisions, no sutures, no lasers and no chemical peels.
