Santa Barbara Acupuncture and Herb Clinic
Acupuncture
There are many styles of acupuncture, and everyone responds differently. We are committed to finding what style works best for you.
Acupuncture has been studied and utilized for over 2,500 years by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners for a wide range of maladies.
As opposed to Western medicine, Acupuncture is more preventative, so most people can benefit from a treatment even if they feel well. The acupuncturist performs a diagnosis, then inserts needles to stimulate energy channels or meridians. Every treatment is custom and adaptable, no two treatments are ever the same!
The World Health Organization has listed over 28 diseases and symptoms for which acupuncture has been PROVEN to be an effective treatment. In addition, they note therapeutic results from acupuncture for another 50+ symptoms in which clinic testing is still ongoing.
Acupuncture is quickly being integrated into mainstream Western medicine treatments as well. The late Dr. Han, Tram Pham, and Dr. Horie all worked in a hospital environment in the past. Dr. Han was renowned for his work with cancer patients, with some crediting him with saving their lives. Dr. Horie is following Dr. Han's footsteps.
Therapies
We draw on a range of therapeutic techniques developed through thousands of years of Chinese medicine history.
Pediatric Acupuncture
Pediatric acupuncture does not involve any "poking" yet is very effective. During the session, patients feel relaxed without being subjected to unwanted pricking sensations.
