About Avita Health Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient art, dating back over 2,000 years. It involves inserting very thin needles into strategic points on the body for the purpose of increasing wellness, reducing stress, and for the treatment of a wide range of conditions. Acupuncture is known to stimulate the body’s endorphins and natural painkillers, without negative side effects. It is also believed to stimulate the body’s immune system and restore balance, resulting in better health and well-being.

Is Acupuncture painful? Once a precise point is located, a very thin needle is inserted. Commonly described sensations range from dull pressure, to a brief tingling or electric shock sensation, to a sensation of heat. Acupuncture should not be painful. The needle is generally left in place for a period of several minutes. All needles used in Acupuncture are pre-sterilized and are disposable, for safety.

Acupuncture is commonly used in the treatment of such conditions as:

Headaches, including migraines
menstrual cramps and morning sickness
allergies
anxiety and depression
neck and low back pain
gastro-intestinal conditions
respiratory conditions, including some allergies
postoperative vomiting and nausea
insomnia

Hear from our clients

Richard Zhang is the most incredible acupuncturist that I have seen. The experience is so much more than just needling. He uses a broad range of techniques and I’m always amazed by the number of tools in his “tool kit”. It’s clear that health care is his absolute passion. I always feel relaxed, and so much better, after each treatment.
