How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture is based on Chinese Medicinal principles, which view the body as an interconnected system of vessels that connect to circulate blood, nutrients and energy from food and air to the whole body.  When circulation does not flow properly the body becomes imbalanced and can lead to pain, illness and emotional distress.  Acupuncture helps restore balance by:

  • Stimulating Specific Points: Thin, sterile needles are strategically placed on the body to promote proper circulation.
  • Enhancing Blood Supply: Improved blood flow promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
  • Balancing Hormones: Acupuncture can regulate the endocrine system, supporting hormonal health.
  • Reducing Stress: Treatments promote relaxation and help alleviate stress's physical and emotional effects.

Conditions We Treat

At Family Acupuncture, we provide treatments for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Pain Management: Chronic pain, migraines, arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries.
  • Women's Health: Menstrual irregularities, menopause symptoms, and fertility support.
  • Digestive Disorders: IBS, acid reflux, bloating, and other gastrointestinal issues.
  • Stress & Anxiety: Support for mental health, emotional balance, and improved sleep.
  • Immune System Support: Boosting immunity to prevent illness and promote recovery.

  • Additional Therapies

    The scope of Chinese medicine involves more than just using needles. We have additional techniques that act as a great complement to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, soften tissues, break up knots or adhesions, and reduce pain. These techniques include electro-acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine.

    Electro-Acupuncture

    Electro-acupuncture uses a machine to introduce a gentle electric current to an inserted needle. The current stimulates the needle and can substantially improve blood flow, activate various chemicals in the brain and reduce pain more than the needle alone.

    The Benefits of Acupuncture

    Regular acupuncture treatments can offer numerous benefits, including:

    Natural Pain Relief: A drug-free alternative to managing acute and chronic pain.

    Improved Sleep Quality: Promotes relaxation and helps regulate sleep cycles.

    Enhanced Energy Levels: Restores vitality and reduces feelings of fatigue.

    Boosted Fertility: Supports reproductive health for both men and women.

    Holistic Healing: Addresses the symptoms and underlying causes of health concerns.

    Their Words, Their Journeys, Real Outcomes

    What Our Patients Say About Their Fertility Experience

    My husband and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility and conceived our son through IVF in 2009. We decided to try for our second without the help of reproductive technology, but after two and a half years of unsuccessful attempts, we knew we needed help. A friend recommended I see Jose for a consult and I began working with him in January 2014. I saw Jose for acupuncture twice a week and took herbs daily to support my menstrual cycle. My cycles had already been pretty regular so I didn’t experience much change in this area, but I found the acupuncture to be very relaxing and overall felt really good during the 6 months I saw Jose. After 6 months, my husband and I returned to our fertility doctor for updated testing. Once again our tests came back normal and our infertility remained unexplained. Our doctor said that we would be excellent candidates for another cycle of IVF, but we decided against it and went back to Jose with our test results. After reviewing my husband’s testing, Jose immediately recognized low morphology as an area of concern. What was considered “normal” by our doctor was not normal after all. Jose began treating my husband with herbs and after only 2 months, we conceived naturally! I am now 12 weeks into a healthy pregnancy, something I thought I might never experience again, thanks to Family Acupuncture and Herbs of Reading!

    Reading Family Acupuncture &Herbs of Reading was my first Acupuncture experience. I had always heard wonderful things about Acupuncture but never had a reason to try prior to my infertility challenges. Upon meeting with Jose for our initial session to gain more insight; I immediately felt at ease. Not only did I feel I was in good hands; but also could tell Jose is one of the select few who have a passion for their career. I attended Acupuncture twice a week for almost a year and each session Jose was genuine, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jose and Reading Family Acupuncture. I look forward to my future sessions.
