Rose Gold Health Acupuncture Granite Bay, CA

Relieve chronic and acute problems, improve digestion, sleep, address immunity, soothe tension, heal injuries, reduce pain

East Asian or Chinese Medicine has evolved from a folk medicine into an evidence-based holistic health care modality. Acupuncture and herbs are essential parts of Chinese medicine, and they are highly recommended by medical doctors today. Our approach is geared toward men and women, and combines gentle acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, Gua Sha, cupping, warming and invigorating moxibustion, herbal medicine, nutrition, lab testing, and a genuine desire to help you feel and function better.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are holistic treatments that improve the imbalances in our body, mind, and emotions. To create deep and lasting change, a series of cumulative sessions are essential. For problems you have had for years, or for injuries that need time to heal, 8-12 sessions are typical. Acupuncture is offered at some hospitals in China, and patients might come in 3-5 times a week until they achieve improvement. Here in the US we use that frequency as well, but more often patients come in 1-3 times per week. At the end of the series we will re-evaluate your progress and recommend care as needed to sustain your well-being. If you want regular acupuncture for your health and wellness please come in as needed. Make sure you read about our 5 session package for savings!

Our clients address acute conditions with acupuncture, such as: colds, coughs, UTI's, flus, arthritis flare-ups, encouraging labor, allergic reactions, migraines, injuries, nausea or pain in pregnancy, gout flare ups, Bell's Palsy, and more. Many long term clients get acupuncture once or twice a month or season for tune-ups. During our sessions you will have the opportunity to discuss your current concerns, to ask questions, and to receive deeply relaxing and gentle acupuncture.

What To Expect

Our first visit is 90 minutes, and follow up visits are 50-60 minutes. When you schedule your first appointment, please fill out our online health intake. We will use that to guide us through our first and subsequent meetings. You will have acupuncture with each session, along with optional cupping or gua sha, moxa or estim.

We also offer health consultation, herbal formula recommendation, gua sha and/or cupping sessions for those who have pain or injury but don't want needles. It's our opinion that needles, gua sha/cupping, and herbs work best for most things, but for those who are terrified of needles can still benefit from our services.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine testing is another way to get data about a person's physiological weaknesses and strengths and guide treatment. This can be done with blood test collection, or home test kits that assess hormones, adrenals, the gut, neurotransmitters and the brain, and toxins. We use DUTCH Complete hormone testing, the GIMAP comprehensive GI test, and ORGANIX nutrition test. Typically, a functional medicine initial consult is one hour, and follow ups are 30 minutes.

Practices for Stress Management

You may have read or heard about the benefits of prayer, meditation, yoga, or similar practices, but found it hard to get started or be consistent with one. A regular practice can help us feel more peaceful, regulated, and remind us to keep coming back to that place of peace. We encourage you to incorporate one or more practices that you truly enjoy doing; it will improve your quality of life. Contact us to guide you toward resources in our community or online.
