What is medical acupuncture?

Medical acupuncture is a physician-guided, clinically informed therapy rooted in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern neurophysiology. It uses fine needles to stimulate points that regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and promote self-healing.

How it works

  • Enhances blood flow and oxygenation to targeted organs and tissues

  • Regulates the autonomic nervous system (supports vagal tone)

  • Modulates inflammation and reduces pain signals

  • Improves hormonal communication and stress resilience

What we treat

Acupuncture is used as a foundational therapy to support:

  • Menstrual and hormonal imbalances (PMS, irregular cycles, perimenopause)

  • Fertility (natural, IUI, IVF)⎼learn more about fertility support here

  • Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, slow motility)

  • Anxiety, insomnia, and nervous system dysregulation

  • Chronic stress and burnout

  • Pain (migraines, pelvic pain, joint tension)

What to expect

Each session is tailored to your unique symptoms, cycle, and goals. Sessions are deeply relaxing and often include lifestyle or nutrition guidance when appropriate. You’ll rest with needles in place for 25–40 minutes, allowing the body to reset and repair.

Dr. Le uses a gentle needling technique and always explains what to expect.

Curious about how acupuncture can help you?

  • Most patients are surprised by how gentle it feels. The needles are hair-thin and inserted with care. You may feel a slight pinch or a dull sensation, but many people find the experience calming and even fall asleep during sessions.

  • It depends on your condition and goals. Some patients feel improvement after just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing care over several weeks. Dr. Le will personalize a plan based on your symptoms, cycle, and response to treatment.

  • Eat a light meal beforehand and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Afterward, stay hydrated, rest if needed, and avoid intense exercise. Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed for the rest of the day.
