How We Work

We provide integrative care with meaningful results.

The Science of Acupuncture

Acupuncture originated in China around 3,500 years ago and remains one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of healing in the world. These days, science can explain its effectiveness. Connective tissue winds around the needles, increasing electrical conductivity. Doppler ultrasound shows that acupuncture increases blood flow and circulation. MRI readings demonstrate that acupuncture prompts observable changes in the brain. Thermal imaging reveals that acupuncture reduces inflammation.

The Intake

During your first visit you will have 20-30 minutes with practitioner to go over in depth health history and diagnosis by pulse and tongue followed by a 30-45 minute acupuncture treatment. We encourage you to bring us your labs or any blood work that may be relevant.

The Treatment

We create a customized treatment for you, using a range of Chinese medicinal therapies. Acupuncture and other modalities including moxa, gua sha, cupping and massage may be used. Herbs and nutritional supplements can also be paired with acupuncture to enhance your treatment.

The Plan

You will leave your first visit with a clear plan forward. We create your treatment plan to maximize both effectiveness and time.  Beyond the health assessment and acupuncture treatment you receive, you will leave your first treatment with a customized herbal formula (if appropriate), nutritional and lifestyle advice and a realistic assessment of how we can help you.

Have Questions?

We like questions. Here are some answers to several Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

FAQ's

In most cases, that is absolutely fine! The massage must be booked and coordinated with the massage therapist separately. Then you may time your acupuncture treatment accordingly.

If you do come in for back-to-back treatments, it does not matter which you do first or second, however we have found many of our clients enjoy the massage before their treatment. If you have just had an embryo transfer during an IVF cycle, however, we would recommend taking it easy and checking in with your practitioner before scheduling your appointments all at once.

You can also speak to a practitioner on the phone before booking your Initial Consultation. Just let the front desk know, and they will arrange a call for you. We also offer herbal and nutritional supplement consultations or a ZYTO scan along with an herbal and nutritional supplement consultation with no acupuncture treatment.  These are an opportunity to speak with one of our practitioners, where you will go over your health history and they will prescribe you an herbal formula as well as offer any dietary/lifestyle advice they may have.

Absolutely! You can also see a different practitioner each week if that works better with your schedule. The Yinfinite Wellness team works collaboratively, so any practitioner you see will have access to your chart and will be fully informed about your case, enabling them to provide you with continuity of care.

Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and they are inserted gently and shallowly. While each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel only a minimal amount of sensation as the needles are inserted. Once the needles are in place, most of our patients tell us that they experience a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing that lasts for many hours after the treatment.

Most  of our patients see us weekly; however, each case is unique. Your practitioner will craft a clear treatment plan for you and will tell you how often you should have treatment. Everyone responds to treatment differently so your results will depend on your particular situation. There are certain issues that can be addressed in a visit or two; other cases might require more treatments until your goal is met. Your practitioner will be able to guide you on the results you can expect.  Often, patients will notice relief from a specific symptom straight away, though we may need more time to work on the underlying root of the issue.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so by logging into our scheduling system (manage your appointment) or calling the front desk by phone 650-596-5616 or by emailing info@yinfinitewellness.com. We do have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so appointments altered within 24 hours of the scheduled treatment time will result in a fee.
