  • Can acupuncture help me in managing stress?

    Yes, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can help you with your stress. When you are stressed out, blood stays stagnant in and around your head.

  • Is acupuncture a long-term treatment?

    Acupuncture can be a short-term treatment or a long-term treatment. There are many variables. With acupuncture, it depends on what we are treating, what your body has gone through, how in-tune you are to your body, and how healthy you are. For instants, one may recover quicker from Acupuncture with back pain because he or she stays healthy by eating healthy, exercising daily, and has began acupuncture treatment as soon as they notice their back pain whereas one may take longer to recover from back pain because he or she does not eat healthy, exercise every so often, and has neglected their back pain for awhile. At Eastern Medical Center here in Pleasanton, Ca, we take the time with our patients to really understand what is going on and to know what is happening with your body by asking the right questions and by locating abnormal muscles through touch.
