The site describes acupuncture as inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, increase circulation and increase the healing process.
The site says the sensations most often described are tingling, traveling, dispersing, lifting, heavy, achy, warm, pressure, tightness, or nothing at all, and that most people are very relaxed or fall asleep during a treatment.
The site says licensed acupuncturists are required to use pre-sterilized needles that are disposed of after a single use, and that bruising or a tiny spot of blood can occur.
The site says it varies by person and condition. Typically four to six treatments are recommended for acute problems, and chronic conditions may need one to four treatments per week for a few months up to a year.
The site says most insurance is accepted and that patients should check whether acupuncture is a covered benefit. The office will verify benefits and lists the plans it works with, and it says it is out of network with Cigna PPO.
The site asks new patients to call (951) 676-8640 and leave a brief message if they reach voicemail, and says you can also email the office. A credit card is required to hold an appointment.
The site asks for at least 24 hours notice. Missing an appointment or cancelling with less than 24 hours notice is charged $50, and the fee is waived if the last-minute cancellation is an emergency.
