Discover How Acupuncture Can Help Promote Natural Relief of Undiagnosed & Unresolved Disorders
Undiagnosed and unresolved disorders are known for leaving people feeling confused, frustrated, hopeless, depressed, tired and chronically sick. Often those suffering from these types of mystery illnesses undergo a barrage of tests and seek out many different specialists in the hopes of finding a diagnosis and treatment, but instead find little to no relief.
Left untreated, undiagnosed and unresolved disorders and their underlying imbalances can cause system wide problems with circulation, metabolism, immunity and other important vital functions. Lack of proper treatment also increases the risk of further serious health problems and disability involving diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disease, depression, and many others.
Do you know acupuncture offers a holistic approach that helps provide natural relief from various mystery symptoms associated with health problems that have no diagnosis or remain unresolved using conventional means?
Acupuncture is a time-tested method well-known for its ability to hone in on which organ and body systems are malfunctioning to help identify the pattern of disharmony at the root of disease symptoms. By regulating immunity, blood circulation, metabolism and other vital processes, it can also help put the body into natural self-healing mode and get you on the road to healing.
Benefits of Acupuncture for Undiagnosed & Unresolved Disorders
How Acupuncture Treatment Works for Undiagnosed & Unresolved Disorders
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to help promote healing, improve energy, and strengthen resistance to disease. It is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of ultra-thin therapeutic needles into specific points on the body to restore the flow and balance of Qi (life-force energy).
Free-flowing and balanced Qi activates a person’s own self-healing mechanism to assist with responding and adapting to any number of stressors that challenge homeostasis.
In acupuncture, unresolved mystery symptoms and illnesses without a diagnosis result from an imbalance within the functioning of organs and body systems, namely the Heart, Liver, Kidneys, and Lungs, and the digestive, endocrine, and immune systems. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body that are related to these organs and body systems to help balance and strengthen their fundamental functions and interactions. In doing so it helps support healing, restore health, and promote well-being.
While not well understood scientifically, some research suggests acupuncture activates the body’s natural healing processes by stimulating its anti-inflammatory mechanism that helps ease pain and stress, boost immune function, and promote self-healing. Activating this mechanism also appears to help regulate detoxification pathways to enhance the elimination of waste and minimize side effects associated with substance withdrawal.
Other research points to acupuncture stimulating the release of endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that function as natural painkillers, mood enhancers, and immune regulators.
Some other studies suggests acupuncture can help optimize metabolism and hormone balance, fat storage, blood circulation, digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination, too.

FAQs
Unfortunately, there is no straight easy answer. Insurance coverage for acupuncture varies widely among insurance companies both statewide and nationally, with plans requiring certain criteria to be met before coverage is applied. This criteria is not standardized, and insurance companies all make their own policies, including exclusions, limitations and restrictions, regarding acupuncture coverage.
As a result, even when insurance companies advertise they offer acupuncture coverage, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will actually pay for all of it, or even some of it. Most people with an acupuncture-friendly health insurance plan that want to try to use it to pay for acupuncture should expect to accrue at least some out-of-pocket costs, anywhere from co-pays and deductibles to paying for uncovered procedures and products such as herbal medicine and nutritional supplements. It is also not uncommon for acupuncture-related claims to be entirely denied by insurance companies, leaving insured patients responsible for paying the total amount billed.
Fortunately, our office is well-versed on these details to help you understand how and when it is possible to use your insurance to help pay for acupuncture. For more information, or to begin the verification process and request prior authorization for using your PPO insurance with our office, please send us a message.
No, you do not need a referral to receive acupuncture treatment. California acupuncturists are primary care providers and can provide you treatment independently without referral. Some people may seek a doctor referral for acupuncture to try and use their insurance to cover expenses or for help finding a practitioner, but this is not required.
Acupuncture itself is very safe in the hands of a competent practitioner. It generally presents little to no side effects and rarely makes a condition worse. If these do occur it’s usually indicative of the healing process and any ill effects disappear within days of treatment.
However acupuncture is not for everyone, and there are times when precautions must be made. For example, people who are not eligible for acupuncture include those with hemophilia or contagious skin diseases. On the other hand, people on blood-thinning medication, or who tend to bruise easily, or who are pregnant, can receive acupuncture but should disclose their medical history to their acupuncturist prior to treatment so that certain precautions are made.
Where severe danger exists is in the inappropriate application of acupuncture by poorly trained and unskilled non-acupuncture therapists and physicians, many which do not receive the same instruction and training as licensed acupuncturists. To ensure safety when receiving acupuncture, it is highly recommended to use a practitioner who has received proper education and schooling in acupuncture, and is certified and licensed to practice acupuncture by an official governing acupuncture board, agency, or organization.
In general, acupuncture will not minimize any treatment or medication you have used or will use. Recent studies suggest acupuncture may actually enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of other treatments and reduce some of their adverse reactions.
However because acupuncture and some herbal and nutritional supplements prescribed by acupuncturists can sometimes diminish or potentiate the effects of other treatments, it is advisable that you disclose all of your medical history to your acupuncturist, especially if you’re taking medication or are undergoing other types of treatment, or have recently undergone other treatments, so that any precautions can be made prior to treatment. For more information, send us a message.
Depending on the type of service, total visit time is between 60-90 minutes, with 20-75 minute acupuncture treatment time.
Everyone responds to acupuncture differently but in general the approach we use is so gentle and the acupuncture needles we use are so thin that most people won’t even be aware when the needles are inserted. If they feel anything at all, it may be a slight pinch at the site of needle insertion followed by a brief dull ache that dissipates within seconds. Other common sensations felt during treatment include slight tingling, subtle muscle twitching and spasms, heaviness, extreme relaxation, and warmth in the hands and feet.
Most adults looking for a natural approach to health and overall wellness are candidates for acupuncture. But if you have a specific health condition and you’re not sure if acupuncture is right for you, the best way to find out is to request an appointment for an evaluation and consult.
