ACUPUNCTURE

Evidence-Based Acupuncture at WeHo Wellness

At WeHo Wellness, acupuncture is used to support the body’s natural healing processes by regulating the nervous system, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation. Our licensed acupuncturists take a personalized, whole-body approach to care, addressing both symptoms and underlying imbalances.

Acupuncture may be used on its own or combined with chiropractic care, massage therapy, and cupping for comprehensive, integrative treatment.

What Acupuncture Can Help With

Patients commonly seek acupuncture at WeHo Wellness for support with:

  • Neck, back, and joint pain

  • Muscle tension and stiffness

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Stress, anxiety, and nervous-system overload

  • Insomnia and fatigue

  • Digestive concerns

  • Hormonal balance and menstrual irregularities

  • Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery

  • Sports injuries and recovery

If you’re unsure whether acupuncture is right for your concern, our team can help guide you toward the appropriate care.

How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. These points communicate with the nervous system and connective tissue to:

  • Reduce pain signaling

  • Improve blood flow and tissue healing

  • Regulate stress hormones

  • Support immune and digestive function

  • Restore balance between body systems

Many patients experience deep relaxation during treatment and report improvements in pain, sleep, mood, and overall well-being over a series of visits.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Initial Visit

  • Health history review

  • Discussion of symptoms, lifestyle, and goals

  • Acupuncture treatment tailored to your needs

  • Optional adjunct therapies (cupping, heat, or gentle bodywork, when appropriate)

Follow-Up Visits

  • Progress assessment

  • Treatment adjustments based on response

  • Continued focus on both symptom relief and long-term support

Most conditions respond best to a series of treatments, especially for chronic or long-standing issues.
