ACUPUNCTURE
Kailua, Hawaii
What is Acupuncture? Acupuncturists insert tiny hairlike needles into the skin to promote blood circulation to specific areas. This activates your body’s immune and nervous systems to reduce inflammation and release endorphins to alleviate pain. The history of acupuncture spans more than 2,000 years. Acupuncture helps to correct imbalances in the body caused by trauma, toxins, and stress. Once the body is in proper balance, the body will begin to heal itself.
The acupuncturists at Kailua Wellness Center specialize in pain management, women's health and preventative medicine. They are trained to perform acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and gua sha. Acupuncture sessions can be done with and without electrical muscle stimulation. If you are looking for a professional acupuncturist in Kailua who is both kind and competent you have come to the right place. Give Kailua Wellness Center a call today to schedule your acupuncture visit.

Why choose Acupuncture?
Acupuncture stands as a profoundly beneficial treatment rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, offering a holistic approach to health and well-being. Through the strategic insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, acupuncturists aim to restore balance and harmony within the body's energy pathways, known as meridians. This practice stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting pain relief, reducing inflammation, and improving overall physiological function. Beyond physical benefits, acupuncture also addresses mental and emotional well-being, effectively reducing stress, anxiety, and depression by regulating neurotransmitters and promoting relaxation. Its versatility allows for the treatment of various conditions, from chronic pain and migraines to digestive disorders and insomnia. With its gentle yet powerful approach, acupuncture offers a time-tested method for enhancing both physical and mental health, fostering a sense of balance and vitality in those who seek its healing touch.
