ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture, a vital part of traditional Chinese medicine, involves the precise insertion of thin needles into the body at strategically chosen points. This ancient practice is primarily known for its effectiveness in pain relief but has also gained popularity for promoting overall wellness, including stress management.
The technique is based on the concept of meridians, or energy pathways, within the body. By targeting specific acupuncture points, practitioners aim to rebalance your energy flow. These points are carefully selected to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself and increasing the production of natural painkillers.

What to expect:
During Your Acupuncture Session
Acupuncture points are distributed throughout the body, and often, the points used in treatment are not located near the pain you're experiencing. Our skilled acupuncture practitioner will inform you about the specific areas to be targeted during your session and advise if any clothing needs to be removed. Rest assured, we provide gowns, towels, or sheets for your comfort.
Here’s what to expect during the procedure:
Needle Insertion: We use extremely thin needles, which are carefully inserted into strategic points on your body. The insertion is typically painless, and most patients do not feel the needles as they are placed. Generally, between five and twenty needles are used, depending on the treatment. Some patients may experience a mild aching when a needle reaches the desired depth.
Needle Manipulation: Once the needles are in place, your practitioner may adjust them by gently moving or twirling them. Sometimes, heat or mild electrical pulses are applied to enhance the effect.
Needle Removal: The needles usually remain in place for 10 to 20 minutes. You’ll be asked to relax quietly during this time. Removing the needles is painless, and most patients feel no discomfort.
Our goal is to ensure your utmost comfort throughout the treatment, helping you relax and achieve the full benefits of acupuncture.
Allergy Relief through N.A.E.T
Allergies are becoming increasingly prevalent in today's society, affecting individuals from infants to the elderly, and reacting to both food and environmental triggers. Traditional treatments often provide only temporary relief. However, NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) offers a holistic and highly effective solution by desensitizing the body to allergens.
How NAET Works:
NAET begins with muscle testing to assess individual reactions to specific allergens. Patients hold a vial containing the allergenic substance while a practitioner stimulates nerve pathways along the spine. This is followed by massaging or applying acupuncture to specific points to reinforce the treatment. Patients must then avoid the allergen for 25 hours before re-testing to see how their body has adapted. Depending on the allergy's severity, multiple treatments may be necessary.
NAET has shown remarkable success in treating a wide range of allergies and sensitivities, reducing or even eliminating the need for allergy shots and antihistamines. It also effectively addresses emotional and nervous system imbalances, offering a non-invasive, drug-free method to enhance patients' quality of life.
Integrating Acupuncture:
Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of combining antihistamines with acupuncture. Patients receiving both treatments showed more significant improvement than those on antihistamines alone, and they were able to reduce their medication use without worsening their condition. These benefits typically become apparent after about 12 sessions of acupuncture.
Personalized Acupuncture Treatments:
When visiting us at Anaheim Wellness Center, we will first evaluate the severity of your allergies to tailor a treatment plan. This involves inserting very thin needles at strategic points across the body, which is generally painless, although some discomfort may occur as the body clears the meridian. Many patients find the process so relaxing they fall asleep. This technique not only alleviates allergies but also strengthens the immune system.
Each treatment plan considers the patient’s detailed health and family history to ensure the most effective and personalized care. With NAET and acupuncture, patients who once felt helpless against their allergies now have hope for a substantial, lasting relief.
