Acupuncture

Hear it here: TIER’s mind-body wellness platform seeks to heal the body and create proactive healthcare through the following ways: Chiropractic treats the alignment of ligaments and bones, while massage treats the muscles, and acupuncture treats the nerves. Patients can package together their treatment to encompass multiple avenues of treatment at TIER or book a la carte acupuncture visits with our licensed acupuncturists. Most insurance plans accepted. In addition, your acupuncturist may include cupping, infra-red heat therapy, or electrical stimulation based on your treatment plan.

Acupuncture is a branch of alternative medicine that treats pain and illness by inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, called meridians. There are several different styles of acupuncture, all originating from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The World Health Organization has endorsed acupuncture for a number of conditions, including headaches, migraines, osteoarthritis, lower back pain, postoperative nausea, vomiting in children, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Many people seek out acupuncture to treat chronic pain conditions, but benefits of acupuncture extend beyond the treatment of physical ailments. The practice has been used for centuries to help alleviate stress and promote relaxation. Here are some benefits of acupuncture:

• Improved sleep
• reduced anxiety
• relief from depression
• shorter labor time
• decreased pain during childbirth
• reduced symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• improved energy levels, leg strength and walking speed in patients with chronic heart failure.

Acupuncture is available at TIER Wellness, 6695 Pacific Coast Hwy Suite 250, Long Beach, CA 90803. Monday through Saturday.
