Acupuncture Los Angeles directly stems from the Latin term acus - which means needle - and puncture - for puncture. Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture involves more than just poking needles through the skin. There are also different approaches to this traditional practice involving the application of heat, pressure, or lights to pressure points to help reproduce your body's natural flow.

Treatment Modalities

Cupping

Cupping is one of the oldest deep-tissue therapies available which dates to ancient China, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern cultures. They perform many different types of cupping. The most popular is the dry cupping/fire cupping which uses the fire and small glass cups on the acupuncture points or muscles. The cups are left on top of the acupuncture points for about 10 to 15 minutes. Gliding cupping is performed on the back mostly to break up adhesions and increase circulation, loosen muscles, and calm the nervous system. Cupping is often used to relieve any pain or stiff muscles, but it could also be used for diagnosis purposes.

Gua Sha

Gua sha is a massage technique designed to encourage lymphatic drainage or circulation using many different tools such as jade stone or ox’s horn. Depending on the tool and the depth of the scrapping different benefits can be achieved. When done on your body, it can promote soft-tissue mobilization, remove adhesions, or breakdown scar tissues. They recommend gua sha for patients with Bell’s Palsy, mobility issues, patients with cellulite, or simply as an add on service to the facial treatments.

Dry Needling

Sometimes known as intramuscular stimulation, dry needling is an invasive procedure in which a needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point for patients with myofascial pain syndrome. A myofascial trigger point consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. Patients will be able to feel the ‘jumping sign’ or ‘twitching’s when the needles hit the trigger points.

They practice Acupuncture - which is also known as the four needles technique. Acupuncture is one of the original therapeutic modalities. It is a unique treatment method that has a different origin than the modalities from the USA by using minimal needles at a time to address the core issues of any symptom.
