Since opening in 2010, we have helped over 10,000 people from Chico and surrounding communities live with less pain, greater energy, improved mood, better digestion, and so much more. Many also gained a greater sense of autonomy over their own health: they got acupuncture and felt better, they used this simple, safe, easily accessible tool to live a healthier life.
When you get treated with one of our licensed acupuncturists, your body releases natural pain killers, reduces inflammation, and increases blood flow for healing. Current research points to the fact that acupuncture is beneficial for a range of conditions. Fundamentally acupuncture works by taking you out of "fight or flight" mode (sympathetic nervous system) and activates your "rest and digest" mode (parasympathetic nervous system), promoting your body to heal and regenerate.
Treatments are given by our team of experienced Licensed Acupuncturists (L.Ac.), who all have at least a four year Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

About Us
Report
Since 2010, we have offered effective and affordable care to Chico and the surrounding areas.
Our licensed acupuncturists have completed at least four years of schooling, and maintain that license with continuing education.
We believe that natural medicine can be helpful and accessible to all.
We know it's a trend to offer high-end therapeutic spa like-treatments that cost a pretty-penny, but at the end of the day, alternative medicine was not meant to be only for those who could afford to spend the weekend getting pampered.

A typical visit starts with you checking in with the acupuncturist about your primary concern, and then getting an individualized treatment.
We like to know how you're doing in-general, beyond the usual single thing you are coming in for.
How's your sleep?
Digestion?
Mood?
Energy?
What else is going on with you?
Acupuncture has beneficial side effects.
For example, even if we haven't directly addressed your severe back pain yet, you might experience relief and reduced tension, indicating that the treatment series is starting to do something for you.

Generally, people use acupuncture to help with a specific pain, illness, or discomfort that they're currently having or they may seek help with a problem that comes and goes.
Using acupuncture as part of your regular "health tool kit" will increase energy, reduce stress, and support your immune system.
Improving your health with acupuncture (like most modalities) is a process.
During your initial visit, an experienced acupuncture clinician will review your patient intake form and advise you on a treatment plan that is best suited for your situation and condition.

Pregnancy & Kids
Report
Acupuncture can increase your chances of conception, promote a healthy pregnancy, and support you after giving birth*.
During pregnancy you often can't use the medications you may normally use for colds and flus, allergies, pain, migraines, etc. Acupuncture is an effective alternative that is safe for both mom and baby.
In general, acupuncture works by activating your parasympathetic nervous system and stimulating production of your body's innate endorphins (your pain-killing and happiness hormones).
