Acupuncture Specialists

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a noninvasive and holistic treatment for a variety of health conditions. Your provider inserts very tiny needles into your skin at strategic areas to reduce pain and other unpleasant symptoms. Acupuncture is an essential component of traditional Chinese medicine used to balance energy flow and enhance your body's natural ability to heal.

Earthy Ruby offers acupuncture for your face, full-body acupuncture, or both, depending on your personalized needs and preferences.

Is acupuncture right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for acupuncture at Earthy Ruby, your specialist discusses your symptoms, medical history, and desired outcome. They complete a physical examination and may suggest undergoing blood tests or other types of diagnostic testing.

What should I expect during acupuncture?

During acupuncture treatment, you rest on a comfortable, padded exam table. Your provider inserts very fine needles into targeted areas of your body. They may use 5-20 needles or more in some cases. The procedure causes very little discomfort, but you might feel mild aching. 

Your specialist could move the needles or apply heat or electric pulses to them before removing needles from your skin. They often combine acupuncture with massage, facials, or other wellness treatments.
