What Is Acupuncture?

Kailua/Kaneohe Acupuncture Banner

Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, with the goal of restoring balance and promoting healing.


According to traditional Chinese medicine, our health is determined by the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee"), or life force energy, through our bodies. When there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi, illness and disease can occur. Acupuncture works to restore the balance and flow of Qi, thereby promoting physical and emotional well-being.


Acupuncture is based on the principle that the body has a network of pathways called meridians, through which Qi flows. These meridians correspond to specific organs and functions in the body. The acupuncture points are located along these meridians, and by stimulating them with needles, the flow of Qi can be adjusted.


The needles used in acupuncture are very thin, about the width of a human hair. They are usually made of stainless steel and come in various lengths depending on the area of the body being treated. Acupuncture needles are sterile and disposable, ensuring safety and hygiene for each patient.


Acupuncture is often used to treat a wide range of conditions such as pain, nausea, digestive issues, stress, anxiety, and infertility. It can also be used as a preventive therapy to maintain overall health and well-being. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine Services for Our Kailua Ohana

Traditional Acupuncture

Traditional acupuncture aims to restore balance by inserting thin needles into specific points along the meridians to stimulate the flow of qi and release any blockages and treat a variety of health conditions.  Other traditional Chinese medicine practices such as herbal remedies, cupping, and moxibustion may also be used in conjunction with acupuncture to further aid in balancing the body's energy.


Holistic Nutrition Counseling

Holistic nutritional counseling is a specialized field that focuses on improving overall health and wellness by examining the relationship between food and the body. It takes into account not only what we eat, but also how our bodies digest, absorb, and utilize nutrients. This approach recognizes that each individual has unique nutritional needs.

Martial Arts/Aikido

Martial arts are rooted in ancient history and have evolved over time into a diverse range of disciplines with unique sets of techniques, strategies, and philosophies. The word 'Aikido' can be translated to mean 'the way of harmony with the universal energy'. Aikido is not just a system of self-defense, but also a way of life that aims to achieve physical, mental and spiritual balance. Its techniques focus on blending.

Your Kailua/Kaneohe Acupuncture Treatment:

What to Expect

We offer acupuncture treatment to many patients who are new to this type of therapy. When you come for your session, Xavier will have a discussion with you to understand your reasons for seeking acupuncture. He may also ask you specific follow-up questions to determine the best approach for your treatment.


If you feel nervous, please inform us. We will explain what to expect and how the sessions will make you feel. Xavier will use small, sterile, single-use needles that will be inserted into acupuncture points. During the approximately 30-minute rest period, many patients find themselves drifting off to sleep or entering a deep meditative state. After the needles are removed, you can expect to feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

Acupuncture FAQs

  • Does acupuncture hurt?

    While the idea of having needles inserted into your skin may seem intimidating, acupuncture is generally considered safe and painless when performed by a trained professional.


    In fact, many people find that acupuncture actually helps relieve pain and discomfort in various areas of their body. This is because acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system and triggering the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.

  • How does acupuncture work?

    Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that originated in ancient China. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate and balance the flow of energy, known as qi (pronounced “chee”), throughout the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi flows through meridians or pathways in the body and when this flow is disrupted, it can lead to illness or disease.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    One of the most frequently asked questions about acupuncture is "how many sessions will I need?" The answer to this question can vary depending on several factors, including the reason for seeking acupuncture treatment, the severity of the condition, and individual response to treatment.


    In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that a course of acupuncture treatment typically consists of 10-12 sessions. This is based on the idea that it takes at least 10 sessions for the body to fully respond and rebalance itself. However, this number can vary depending on the individual and their specific needs.


    For acute conditions, such as a recent injury or illness, fewer acupuncture sessions may be needed. Typically in these cases, patients will see improvement after just a few treatments. On the other hand, chronic conditions may require more sessions to achieve lasting results.
