Suffering from hip, low back, or buttock pain? It might be your gluteus medius! This key muscle helps stabilize your hip and pelvis—but overuse, injury, or trigger points can cause pain that radiates to your back, thigh, or even knee.

Acupuncture and dry needling target trigger points in the gluteus medius, releasing tension, improving circulation, and stimulating your body’s natural pain-relieving response. Studies show these techniques offer effective relief for low back pain and improve quality of life, especially for athletes, runners, and anyone who sits for long periods.

Emotions ARE Energy In Motion ⚡️ When emotional energy gets stuck - often due to stress, trauma, or daily overwhelm - it can create loops of anxiety, anger, or sadness, even when there’s no clear trigger. In acupuncture, we see this as blockages in the body’s energy pathways, or meridians. By gently releasing these blockages, we help emotions flow freely again, restoring balance to both body and mind.

If you’ve been feeling "stuck" emotionally, remember: emotional release isn’t just healthy, it’s essential for TRUE well-being. Let’s get your energy moving!

Looking for a natural way to refresh your complexion and smooth fine lines? Facial acupuncture is an ancient practice now embraced by modern skincare routines. Using ultra-fine needles, this treatment stimulates specific points on the face and neck, boosting local blood flow and encouraging your skin’s natural healing process.

Beyond just appearance, facial acupuncture helps increase hydration, elasticity, and collagen production, leading to firmer, more radiant skin. The treatment is gentle. Most people describe it as a subtle sensation rather than pain, and is tailored to each individual’s needs. Plus, it supports your skin’s resilience against environmental aging factors.

Session options include facial rejuvenation acupuncture and microneedling. Learn more and reserve your appointment via bio link ⭕️ Empirical Point Acupuncture

Big news: just completed the Acupuncture Sports Medicine Apprenticeship Program with Jenny Nieters of Alameda Acupuncture!

Summer is a time when we're more active - and more likely to struggle with sprains and injuries. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or someone simply passionate about staying active, you know the thrill of pushing your body to new heights....and the setbacks that can come with it. From the nagging ache of overused muscles to the sudden sting of an acute injury, the journey of an athlete is filled with both triumphs and challenges.

But what if there was a way to recover faster, perform better, and stay ahead of injuries before they slow you down?

Some of the most prevalent recurring sports injuries treated with acupuncture are lower back strain, hip strain and tightness, golf and tennis elbow, and knee and shoulder injuries.

These conditions often plague athletes across various disciplines and various levels from beginner to advanced; from runners to weightlifters; to golfers, padel and pickleball players. There are many options offered by acupuncture that can alleviate strains and pain prior to considering surgery, which, if left untreated, can significantly impair performance and may lead to chronic issues.

By targeting specific acupoints, acupuncture can:
- Alleviate pain and reduce inflammation
- Improve blood circulation to the affected area
- Release muscle tension and spasms
- Enhance overall flexibility and range of motion

Other common injuries that respond well to acupuncture include:
- Musculoskeletal pain
- Lateral/medial meniscus rupture
- Femoral acetabular impingement
- Ganglion cysts
- Sports hernia
- Delayed onset muscle soreness
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendon injuries

Why get botox, when you can restore balance to your skin naturally - and with less risk?

at Empirical Point is a precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to activate the skin’s natural healing response. By creating controlled micro-injuries, we stimulate the release of key growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor and transforming growth factor, initiating a cascade that promotes collagen production and skin renewal.

Performed with FDA-cleared devices and guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, our approach combines modern science with holistic care for optimal skin health.
