Restore balance and enhance well-being with acupuncture at Westhaven Aesthetics. Our holistic treatments target the root cause of imbalances, helping to alleviate stress, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, and depression. We offer Classical Five Element Acupuncture sessions to address your evolving health needs in a supportive, healing environment.
Restore your natural balance and energy flow
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that can restore the body’s natural balance and energy flow. It involves gently inserting fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy pathways known as meridians. By targeting these areas, acupuncture helps reduce pain, alleviate stress, and improve overall health. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and digestive issues. At Westhaven Aesthetics, we specialize in Classical Five Element Acupuncture.
Acupuncture treats:
- Stress and anxiety
- Chronic pain (e.g., back, neck, and joint pain)
- Insomnia and sleep disorders
- Depression and emotional imbalances
- Digestive issues (e.g., IBS, bloating)
- Fatigue and low energy
- Headaches and migraines
- Menstrual and hormonal imbalances
- Respiratory issues (e.g., asthma, allergies)
- Immune system support
Traditional vs. Classical Five Element Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture focuses on balancing the body’s physical energy (Qi) and treats symptoms by stimulating meridians to restore harmony and alleviate pain or illness. Classical Five Element Acupuncture takes a holistic approach, considering not only physical symptoms but also emotional and spiritual well-being. It emphasizes the balance of five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—each corresponding to specific emotions and organ systems. This method helps address deeper imbalances, promoting overall health and wellness.

What happens during an acupuncture treatment?
When you arrive for your acupuncture session, your practitioner will begin by discussing your current health concerns, symptoms, and overall well-being. This is an important part of the treatment, as it helps create a personalized approach tailored to your needs. After the consultation, you’ll lie in a comfortable position, and fine, sterile needles will be inserted into specific acupuncture points that correspond to energy pathways or meridians. The needles are typically left in place for 20-30 minutes, during which time you may feel relaxed.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of acupuncture sessions you’ll need varies depending on your health concerns and how your body responds to the treatment. Acute issues, like recent injuries or mild pain, may require fewer sessions (4-6 treatments). Chronic conditions, such as long-term pain, often benefit from ongoing sessions over several weeks or months. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture is generally a painless procedure. The needles used are extremely thin—much finer than those used for injections—so you may feel little to no discomfort as they are inserted. Some people experience a mild tingling sensation, warmth, or a feeling of pressure at the needle site, but this is typically brief and not painful. Many patients find the process relaxing.
