Holistic Health FAQs

You've Got Questions,We've Got Answers.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

TCM is a holistic health care system used in China and most Asian countries to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses. Acupuncture, Herbs, Tui Na, Moxibustion, Cupping, Qi Gong, and Tai Chi all fall under the umbrella of TCM.

How will I feel after the treatment?

The treatment lasts between 30 and 40 minutes during which time you will rest and relax - some people like to wait a little after the needles have been removed. Even though you may feel a little tired at first, you can expect to feel less pain, more energy, and a general sense of well-being after treatment.

Can anyone have acupuncture?

Yes, it is suitable for people of all ages and dispositions, including babies, pregnant women, and the elderly.

Are there any contraindications for acupuncture?

Only very rarely. For instance, if there is arm swelling following lymph node removal for breast cancer, that arm should not be needled. Otherwise, acupuncture is a safe, drug-free natural therapy used to address many common health conditions.

Can acupuncture increase my chances of getting pregnant?

Yes. Fertility acupuncture has been shown to support hormone balance, improve blood flow, and reduce stress — all of which can enhance natural and assisted fertility. Our Chino fertility acupuncture treatments are designed to support reproductive health and emotional balance throughout your journey.

Can I have acupuncture if I have a cold/flu?

Yes! Acupuncture helps strengthen your immune system and can ease cold or flu symptoms, helping you recover faster. Many patients in Chino and nearby cities visit us for immune-boosting acupuncture sessions and seasonal wellness care.
