The ABCs of Acupuncture: How it works & what to expect during your treatment

Welcome and thank you for visiting Acupuncture Healing Arts. We have been adding new features to the website, hoping to make Acupuncture Healing Arts a more valuable resource for my patients and interested readers. I recommend reading The ABC's of Acupuncture, which offers a "walk-through" approach (with pictures) of what acupuncture is, how it works, and what to expect during your treatment.

Many people want to know more about what benefits others receive from acupuncture. So we created a unique Patient Testimonials section. Over 100 patients have been kind enough to write about their experiences, making this section an extensive – and growing – resource.

We still have our "library" of useful articles, More Acupuncture Topics, focusing on different aspects of acupuncture… And we've added many illustrations of commonly used acupuncture techniques to those articles. More articles are planned for the future, so stay in touch (or subscribe to the Acupuncture Healing Arts Newsfeed).

If you have any questions about acupuncture in general or what to expect from receiving acupuncture therapy, you may contact me through the new Email Us page, or call the office at (916) 486-9600.

Yours in health,
Steve Phillips
