What Is Acupuncture?

Written By Jochen Chiropractic and Wellness Center on May 25, 2022

Acupuncture is an ancient practice in traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of very tiny, thin needles into the surface of the skin. The needles are inserted into specific, strategic points in the body that are associated with certain illnesses, conditions, or maladies. 

In Chinese medicine, it is believed that acupuncture balances your flow of energy, or life force, thus maintaining harmony among all of your bodily systems. At Jochen Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we offer holistic, all-natural, whole-body wellness care, including acupuncture, in Beverly Hills, CA. Visit us today to learn more about how we can improve your overall wellness through chiropractic care.

Health Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture has no known negative side effects and is a very beneficial treatment method. Our patients have found that acupuncture improves their mood, relieves pain and fatigue, minimizes insomnia, and has an overall calming effect.

Most people who visit us for acupuncture report that they have less pain after just one session. We also offer cupping and herbology in addition to other holistic chiropractic care treatments. If you’re interested in learning more about acupuncture in Beverly Hills, CA, book your appointment with us today.

Common Conditions Treated With Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a completely safe, effective way to treat a number of conditions without using invasive procedures or relying on prescription medication. Our patients have found relief from common conditions like headaches, migraines, lower back pain, neck pain, and joint pain associated with arthritis. We have also successfully used acupuncture to treat symptoms of pregnancy, fibromyalgia, dental issues, chemotherapy, menstrual cramps, and respiratory disorders. 

Because we believe that we should treat the whole body rather than any one specific symptom, we will likely recommend that we combine acupuncture with other chiropractic care treatments, such as chiropractic massage and adjustments.
