Acupuncture
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a way to restore energy flow and balance — known as qi or chi — throughout your body. This complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatment involves placing several very thin, long needles on various meridian points of your body.
These needles stimulate blood flow and energy to the area, which harnesses your body’s abilities to heal itself. Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most traditional therapies used to relieve chronic pain and help injured tissues heal.
Why do I need acupuncture?

What happens during acupuncture?
When you come into the office of Dr. Henry Tseng, you’re escorted to your private room where you can relax and unwind. You may need to change out of your clothing if you’re wearing pants or other types of restrictive clothing.
Dr. Tseng places the acupuncture needles on various points of your body, depending on your specific condition. Once all of the needles are in place, you relax or even nap for about 20-30 minutes. Afterward, Dr. Tseng removes all of the needles and you can return to your normal activities.
How often should I get acupuncture?
It’s perfectly safe to undergo acupuncture treatments as often as you need. If you have pain or an underlying injury, Dr. Tseng may recommend weekly acupuncture sessions for several months, or until your symptoms resolve.
To continue having optimal blood flow and balance of your qi (chi), Dr. Tseng often suggests ongoing acupuncture sessions for maintenance and pain prevention. Coming into the office once or twice a month for acupuncture can help you stay as healthy and pain-free as possible.
