No, you will not be in the nude or need to undress for acupuncture in La Jolla. We ask that you wear comfortable, loose clothing that will allow us access to your arms, legs, belly, back, and head.
Get Back In the Game
It’s not uncommon for athletes to experience injuries, but when the healing process goes awry, it can prevent players from returning to the sport they love.
There are many pain relief options available for athletes. But when it comes to natural, holistic healing, you can count on Beyond Body Wellness for acupuncture in La Jolla to help you optimize your health and get you back in the game.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture works in tandem with your body's natural biochemical reactions to stimulate specific points and increase healing.
Even though needles are used during acupuncture, they only go about 5 centimeters into your skin, and many find that the treatment itself is relaxing and enjoyable.
Acupuncture can be used alongside other medical treatments to boost the healing benefits and get you back to doing what you love.
How it Works
Acupuncture has been used in traditional medicine for many years, having been used to correct the energy fields within and around the body to cure disease and relieve pain.
Acupuncture in La Jolla works to stimulate certain points in the nervous system. By targeting these key points, it causes your body to release chemicals into your brain, muscles, tissues, and spinal cord. These biochemical reactions are a natural healing response, which promotes increased emotional and physical well-being.
What to Expect.
Consultation
You’ll begin your healing journey with an initial consultation with our Beyond Body team. This gives us the opportunity to learn more about the extent of your pain, your medical history, and your health goals. Based on this information, we’ll determine if acupuncture in La Jolla is right for you, and if so, include it in your personalized care plan.
Treatment
One acupuncture session will take about 30 minutes. Before we start, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and confident about your care plan, and we’ll answer any questions you may have. We’ll have you lay on the acupuncture table and then disinfect your treatment area. We’ll insert the needles, talking through the points we are targeting and their effects on your body. We will leave the needles in for a few minutes to let your body start the healing process before we take them out and finish the session.
Next Steps
You will be able to feel the full effects of acupuncture within 2–3 days, but many people are able to feel the effects of acupuncture almost immediately. You may schedule additional sessions if they’re included in your care plan, but if you find later on that you need additional sessions that are not included, our team is more than happy to schedule those for you as needed.
