Our services.

Acupuncture & Cupping

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Cupping is a way to improve blood flow to the region of pain. These are evidence-based techniques to relax muscles and treat certain conditions.

Guided Meditation / Mindfulness

These are coupled with treatment. These techniques amplify the effects of the physical treatments, helping you to downregulate pain pathways.

Pain Management/Symptom Control

We use an interdisciplinary approach for improving the quality of life of those living with pain. Other symptoms and conditions that we treat include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, neuropathy, hot flashes, stress, depression, and anxiety. 

In our short lives, every day lost to pain is a day you can't get back.

and these precious days.

From a Western medicine perspective, we see acupuncture as a modality to increase endorphins in the body which relieves pain and rewires the way the brain perceives pain. 

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. It works by balancing the body’s energy, or “Qi,” and encouraging the body’s natural healing processes.

You will feel a small poke when the needle goes in, but it should not hurt. At some acupuncture points, you may feel a mild ache. 

Acupuncture needles are very thin, about the size of a human hair. It is  thinner, smaller, and not hollow as compared to needles used for blood draws and immunizations. Different sizes of needles are used depending on what acupuncture points are chosen. 

Some side effects (albeit uncommon) that you may have are redness, bruising, minor bleeding, or swelling. 

Currently, we accept most commercial PPO insurances (Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Shield, Healthnet, United Health) and Medicare. We are always adding new insurances. We will try our best to bill insurance for your care. However, you may still be subjected to your insurance co-pay, co-insurance, and deductibles. 

If you would like to utilize your insurance for your care, please contact us at least 1 day prior to your appointment. We will verify your insurance coverage and let you know if we are in network with your plan. 

While Dr. Isabella Lai has significant training with complementary and alternative treatments, she does not provide herbal medicine consultations. She can discuss risks/benefits of certain treatments. Dr. Lai may recommend simple, evidence-based vitamin supplements; however, this is a rare occurrence. Dr. Lai would like to help patients limit the number of products that they put in their body.

We do not sell herbal products in our clinic.

Yes, acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a licensed and trained practitioner. The needles used are sterile, single-use, and very thin, minimizing the risk of infection or injury
