Acupuncture Peoria, AZ
At West Valley Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine, we are commited to providing the best acupuncture care to the residents of Peoria and surrounding areas!
Chinese medicine believes your body has the natural ability to heal itself when fully allowed.
Unfortunately, it is becoming more common to see modern practitioners using “Band-Aid” approaches to medicine which are often harmful in the long run. Our bodies send signals (symptoms) which are clear signs of our health status. When these symptoms are muted with prescription medications, healing is silenced.
Partnering with our patients by providing help and guidance is more effective than prescribing a pill. Increasingly, our new patients tell us they were tired of not finding adequate answers to why they were feeling poorly, or what caused their disease; until they found us.
We strive to empower our patients by teaching them how their body works and the different ways to heal.
Our physicians have completed extensive training and are recognized as Doctors of Science in Oriental Medicine (DSOM). They have received over 7 years of mentoring and education.
Each doctor has completed all prerequisite core sciences that medical students must complete.
They also received the equivalent amount of schooling as other medical doctors; however, instead of learning modern medicine, they are learning ancient medicine, acupuncture, and herbal medicine.
“This is a big difference from ordinary acupuncturists and herbalists who typically have only one or two years of schooling”.
Acupuncture Sessions are 1 hour and 15 Minutes Long
Private Treatment Rooms
Unlike community acupuncture centers where patients are treated in a group setting, our patients are treated in private rooms.
Custom Herbal Formulas
We are one of the few compounding clinics in the Phoenix area, and house a complete herbal pharmacy. All of our granular formulas are tailored to each patient’s specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does acupuncture work?
The speed at which acupuncture works can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people may experience relief from their symptoms immediately after an acupuncture treatment, while others may not notice any improvement until several treatments have been completed.
It is also important to note that acupuncture is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include other therapies such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes. The overall effectiveness of acupuncture may be improved when used in combination with these other treatments.
Does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture has come a long way in recent decades. What was once a misunderstood practice is now quickly becoming more accepted in Western medical circles and also covered by many health insurance plans.
A study published in one of the most well-respected medical journals in the country, Arch Intern Med, says that acupuncture may help treat chronic pain. And the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, part of the National Institutes of Health, notes acupuncture may help ease chronic pain, tension headaches and migraines.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of qi (life energy) and promote healing. Some people may feel a slight pinch or discomfort when the needles are inserted, but most people do not find the treatment to be painful.
After the needles are inserted, some people may experience a mild ache or tingling sensation around the needle. This is considered normal and is a sign that the treatment is working.
If you are concerned about pain during acupuncture, it is important to discuss your concerns with the practitioner before the treatment. They may be able to suggest ways to make the treatment more comfortable for you.
What are the risks of acupuncture
Acupuncture is generally considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner.
How long do effects of acupuncture last?
The duration of the effects of acupuncture can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people may experience relief from their symptoms for a short period of time after an acupuncture treatment, while others may experience longer-lasting effects.
5/5
"Acupuncture has changed my life. I have suffered with essential tremor for years, hands shaking so bad sometimes it was difficult to eat. I went to a neurologist who put me on barbiturates. This worked for a while but then I had to keep raising the dosage as it would stop working. The side effects outweighed the relief I was getting. I did some research and came across Evergreen East Asian Medicine and decided to give it a try. I am amazed at the results…My tremor is gone! I love Dr. A and the staff is amazing. I will continue acupuncture for the many benefits it has to offer. I highly recommend Evergreen!"
