When we discuss acupuncture it is important not to generalize the effect and response from acupuncture treatment just like medication (for the most part, medication does provide an expected reaction from targeted populations). Physiological response from acupuncture varies greatly based on various factors such as practitioner's skills. In fact, experimental studies indicated that an acupuncture needle inserted in the same point produces a different reaction depending on a variety of other factors such as depth of the insertion, amount of stimulation, and position of the patient. Our unique acupuncture system at the Pacific Wellness is designed to relieve your symptoms and address the root cause of the problem simultaneously in the most effective and timely manner possible, which is based on Dr. Tanaka's extensive research and clinical experience.
