What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to support balance, circulation, and natural healing.

Acupuncture may help support a wide range of conditions, including pain, stress, anxiety, digestive issues, headaches, hormonal imbalances, sleep problems, and overall wellness. Treatment plans are customized to each individual.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals. It addresses both the symptoms and underlying contributors to pain.
Yes. Acupuncture is widely recognized as a supportive treatment for chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, arthritis, migraines, and sciatica. Many patients experience reduced discomfort and improved mobility over time.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition, severity, and duration. Acute concerns may improve quickly, while chronic conditions typically benefit from a series of treatments for lasting results.
Absolutely. Stress plays a major role in muscle tension, headaches, and chronic pain. Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress hormones, and relax tight muscles.
Yes. By reducing pain, calming the nervous system, and improving relaxation, acupuncture often leads to better sleep quality — which is essential for healing and overall health.
When performed by a licensed and trained practitioner, acupuncture is very safe. Sterile, single-use needles are used, and treatments are gentle and tailored to your comfort level.
Yes. Acupuncture works well alongside medical care, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and fertility treatments such as IVF and IUI.
Many patients use acupuncture as preventive care to maintain balance, reduce stress, and support long-term wellness — even when no specific symptoms are present.
Your first visit includes a detailed health consultation followed by a personalized acupuncture treatment. Sessions are typically relaxing, and many people feel calm or refreshed afterward.
Most people experience little to no discomfort. You may feel a mild sensation such as tingling, warmth, or heaviness at the needle site, which often indicates the body is responding to treatment.

Testimonials

What peoples say about us

I cannot recommend enough. From my very first session, I felt genuinely seen, heard, and cared for not rushed or treated like a checklist of symptoms. Their depth of knowledge, intuition, and calming presence immediately put me at ease. -

I've been having sciatica pains. I found great relief in acupuncture with Dr Sandra Mora. I highly recommend her. It's amazing how my pain went from a good 8/10 to just an intermittent soreness. I'm able to enjoy walking and gardening now!

Dr. Mora has magic hands. I went to see her for my 6th ivf transfer after losses and she has listened to me, advised and my body has felt completely different this time around with no inflammation and all the other benefits. She has been an essential part of my fertility team!
