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.

    What Our Patients Say About Their Fertility Experience

    I have been a client of Jose's since 2011 when I was treated for infertility. He helped me through my second IVF cycle which was a success! Most recently, I have been receiving treatment for a bulging disc in my lower back. After just a few treatments, I have had significant pain relief. I highly recommend Jose and his practice!

    My story starts here: older mom, son now 4 years going to be 5 years soon, trying to conceive for sometime with no luck so went to my regular OB. She checked FSH which was 75 and AMH <0.03. Got a phone call that I was entering "menopause" and may not conceive. I was referred to fertility specialist who said egg donor and natural conception chances <5%. What everyone ignored was that I was under severe chronic stress for 1 year and 1 year ago my FSH was 4. My fertility specialist disregarded it and said stress was irrelevant with such high numbers and that it was "natural progression" premature ovarian failure though I was still having menses and there is no such family history. So I started to do some research on stress and fertility (very strong correlation by way) and found Jose through American Board of Reproductive Accupuncture Medicine (only 4 in MA). And YES reproductive acupuncturists treat differently than general accupuncture for fertility. I had only missed 1 missed 1 menstrual cycle (that too related to stress and sleep deprivation.) I got my menses back after 2 treatments in 1 week. Got Day 3 Labs done through fertility specialist---FSH came down to 24 and AMH went up to <o.10. Okay granted these numbers are still a normal but HUGE improvement. My day 3 ultrasound showed only 1 follicle each ovary. But guess what!!?? POSITIVE pregnancy test after 4 weeks!! All my doctors were in shock. ...:) I continued the treatments until 12-13 weeks. Jose has been extremely professional, understanding and a miracle of hopes!! Thank you for everything you do. I know everyone's stories are different but there is HOPE if someone is ready to listen and really understand what's going on.
