Does insurance cover Acupuncture?
Many companies now do provide acupuncture coverage. Ask us about Kaiser, Humana, HMAA, UHA, Coventry and more as well as No-Fault and Workman’s Comp.
We can also write you a receipt for you to submit to your insurance company.
What forms of payment are accepted?
Cash, check, or credit card are the accepted forms of payment.
How many treatments will I need?
This is unique to the individual case. You need to give acupuncture a try at least twice. Results can happen between 1-3 treatments depending on the case. Some people notice an immediate improvement in their health while for others acupuncture tends to have a cumulative effect over several visits. For most chronic conditions, cosmetic acupuncture or fertility cases weekly treatments offer the best outcome.
Does the clinic offer Chinese herbs? If so, what kind?
Yes, we have an extensive Chinese herbal pharmacy that consists of patent herbal formulas, Yuk Jiao linaments and whole raw herbs you cook at home as a tea.

Is there anything I need to know for my first visit?
On your first visit be prepared to stay 60-90 minutes. Your acupuncturist will review your health history and discuss your current concerns. During this intake time we will be looking for the ‘root’ of your imbalance as well as treating the ‘branch’ symptoms that brought you into the clinic. This includes traditional visual examination of your tongue and palpatory diagnosis of your pulses and meridians.
If possible, please print the patient health history forms to fill out and bring to your first appointment.
You can email us at [email protected] for our patient intake forms.
The follow up treatments are approximately 1 hr as well.
