Acupuncture
What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with thousands of years of history. Treatment involves very thin needles inserted into specific acupuncture points in the body. Based on TCM theory, illnesses or discomforts are caused by an obstruction in the flow of Qi (energy force). It can improve the flow of Qi in the body to treat and improve various health conditions.
How does acupuncture work at ACA?
At ACA, we use ancient Chinese acupuncture techniques combined with modern technology. Dr. Liu, the founder of ACA, and his colleagues have invented and perfected AI Acupoint equipment. This equipment has gained intellectual property and can accurately diagnose illness and corresponding acupoints. ACA’s acupuncturists use AI Acupoint and clinical experiences to develop acupuncture treatment plans that combine ancient oriental medicine theory based on patients’ conditions. Our professional acupuncturists will cooperate with patients’ physicians to provide the best treatment experience.Â

Acupuncture FAQs
How long does an acupuncture session last?Â
Normally, a session will last 40-60 minutes. Sometimes it will be longer than this time.
How many sessions do I need?
As for the number of sessions, it depends on the situation of the patients. Normally, most likely, you can see a great result in the treatment for the first time. But typically, for an acute pain condition, patients can recover from 1-2 treatments. For some illness conditions that last for one week to 3 months, the patient may need 5-10 times treatment to recover. For a chronic illness that lasts more than three months, patients may need 2-3 treatments each week for 1-3 months or more. Our highly skilled doctor will diagnose the patient’s situation and make a customized acupuncture treatment plan for patients.
