ACUPUNCTURE IS A TIME-TESTED, HOLISTIC MEDICINE THAT CAN HELP TO DECREASE PAIN & RESTORE FUNCTION.

It is also helpful for conditions like knee pain, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, autoimmune conditions, and much more. After extensive research, science is only beginning to grasp the powerful medicine that is Acupuncture and understand the mechanisms behind it.

Common Questions About Acupuncture

 + AM I A CANDIDATE FOR ACUPUNCTURE

The medical literature shows acupuncture’s effect on nearly every biophysical system in the body. I’ve seen patients suffering from a wide variety of problems respond to acupuncture treatment when nothing else has worked.

So, for most people, yes, acupuncture is something you should explore.

+ HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

The number of treatments needed differs from person to person. For complex or long-standing conditions, one or two treatments a week for several months may be recommended. For acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, and for health maintenance, we recommend monthly tune ups.

+ DOES ACUPUNCTURE HURT?

No. It’s very comfortable. Most people end up taking a nap during their treatment and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.

+ WHAT TRAINING IS REQUIRED TO PRACTICE ACUPUNCTURE?

A licensed acupuncturist must have completed a four year master's program, as well as internships and pass several state board exams. Taisha Gonzalez has gone well beyond the requirements, as she is double board-certified in both acupuncture and massage therapy.
