What Is Acupuncture, and What Does It Do?

Acupuncture is a treatment modality that uses needles to insert into specific points in order to treat various ailments. The use of acupuncture needles in the acupoints can trigger local responses. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, practitioners utilize acupuncture according to meridian theory for disease elimination, energy and vitality invigoration, and pathogen reduction.

Does acupuncture hurt?

You will never feel pain levels like an injection from a syringe needle. Depending on the person’s pain tolerance, acupuncture can be felt when the practitioner inserts the needles. But you will most likely only feel the initial prick, kind of like a mosquito bite. Throughout the treatment, you might feel some sensation such as pressure, current, or distention.

Who should use acupuncture for their health issues?

Acupuncture can be used on almost anyone. It’s a modality with almost no side effects. The range of ages that can benefit from acupuncture is from infants to elderly. Of course, you would want to look for practitioners that specialize in certain age groups or specific health issues to maximize the benefits.

Dr. Wang runs an empowering, empathetic, revolutionary practice. She helped me recovering from a debilitating parasite/antibiotic course at a time when Western medicine was deeply failing me with my gut. I want to encourage every self-identifying female with some disposable income to check in with Dr. Wang before ever going to a Western doc. Particularly for chronic illness, chronic pain, and unidentifiable imbalances.

After years of dead ends, I felt hopeless in finding a health provider who could help treat my health issues. And then I was introduced to Dr Wang. For the first time, I felt like she actually listened to me and got down to the root cause of everything. Dr Wang’s expertise and attention to detail is by far the best I’ve ever experienced from a medical provider. Words can’t explain how much she’s helped me both during and after my pregnancy. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her support and on-going treatment. I look forward to each and every treatment as I leave feeling better and better! Plus her staff is also exceptional! I highly recommend Dr Wang to anyone who actually wants to find a sustainable health treatment!

Working with Dr. Wang has been a wonderful experience. She is personable, compassionate, and down to earth. Her skills are remarkable. She really cares about her patient’s well being and puts in the work to get you feeling your best. She works with you, at your pace and is attentive to all of your concerns. Her staff is kind and easy to work with. Her office is very clean and observant of covid safety protocol.I began seeing Dr. Wang for treatment of chronic migraines and stomach problems. My improvement is astonishing. I began to see results almost immediately, and I continue to progress after every session. Where I had been in constant pain and struggling every day, now I feel good and full of renewed energy. Dr. Wang surpassed my expectations and drastically upgraded my day to day life.I appreciate the holistic and personal approach. Where western doctors would say there’s nothing wrong with me, or give me pharmaceuticals to mask the symptoms, Dr. Wang does better. Her diagnostic skills are exceptional, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience. The entire treatment program is personalized just for you. She treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. And she gently guides your body to heal itself.I highly recommend Dr. Wang. I trust her implicitly with my healthcare. She advanced my quality of life in more ways than I had hoped for. In addition to helping my serious ailments, I’ve had better energy, mood, sleep, and relief from body aches and pains. TCM from Dr. Wang has made me a better, healthier, more self aware woman. I can’t thank her enough for all that she’s done for me. She’s the absolute best.

(From Patient Family) I started going to Dr. Wang for my rotator cuff injury. After a few treatments, Dr Wang has become our family doctor. Like others have mentioned, Dr Wang is very knowledgeable and skillful in her profession. She is also very friendly with a good sense of humor. 🙂 In two and a half months, we have already seen tremendous improvements of our health and we are continuously working with Dr Wang. Moreover, Her herbs are ORGANIC! I have been brewing Herb Tea and tossing the brewed herb in my compost pots. My earthworms double in amounts! It’s really nice to know that medication we are taking is natural, organic and no need to worry about side effects. I would definitely recommend others who are in need of TCM and Acupuncture Treatment to reach out to Dr Wang! —— by A. S. Family

I have been a patient of Dr. Wang since 2016. She came highly recommended by a friend and is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had. Having treated over 20,000 patients and leading a clinic in China she is the best at treatment and knowing her role in a balanced eastern/western system. I still see an MD as well and her treatment is very complementary. She knows how to add herbs that don’t interfere but instead enhance any other treatments already in place. She talks to my MD on the phone. I have made tremendous improvement in my mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial well being since seeing her. I now have a healthy baby girl and have been able to prevent postpartum depression despite my hereditary.
