Davis Community Acupuncture Clinic

Good quality, affordable healthcare

---

Davis Community Acupuncture Clinic (DCAC) is a great way to be able to take care of yourself - physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Treatments are conducted in one large room (since points used are typically below the knees and elbows, no disrobing is required). There is an additional healing quality to the group dynamic - like the difference between group meditation and meditating alone. Everyone gets more out of it. Add to that the price:
$15-$40 sliding scale that is "pay what you choose" (plus a $10 consultation and paperwork fee added to your initial visit). It's easy to bring a friend and get treated at the same time.

For an appointment or with questions, email painlessacupuncture@gmail.com.

About acupuncture

Acupuncture is the science and art of stimulating the body's natural ability to heal. It focuses on the whole person, not just the symptom or the disease. Over thousands of years, acupuncture has evolved to effectively treat most modern ailments, including many where Western medicine may have limited solutions.

How does acupuncture work?

In order for a muscle, joint or organ to function well, there must be adequate blood flow to that area. Most if not all of the imbalances that occur in the body can be traced back to a lack of sufficient blood supply to the affected location. To help the body recover from injury, overuse or misuse, acupuncture can increase blood flow to a specific region of the body in a targeted way. Many descriptions of acupuncture talk about "energy" or "qi" and how it flows through the body. This is simply an ancient Chinese way of describing the flow of blood and its nutritional components.

Systemic conditions (for example sleep problems, mental/emotional/spiritual issues, or addictions) are addressed by regulating the blood flow through the entire body, as opposed to a specific body part.

Through the use of needles and other gentle techniques, our blood flow is corrected. This is felt as an alleviation of symptoms and an overall sense of health, happiness, and well-being.

Is it safe?

Perfectly. The sterile needles are used once and then disposed of immediately. Also, since treatment is tailored to the individual, side-effects are virtually unheard-of.

But I HATE needles!!

The hair-thin needles that I use are much smaller than what we usually think of as “needles.” Many people fall asleep during the treatment because it's so relaxing.

Whom can it help?

Anyone! Students, teachers, yogis and yoginis, construction workers, servers, cashiers, programmers, and anyone who sits or stands all day. Treatment is tailored to age and condition.

What can acupuncture treat?
Most symptoms can be improved or alleviated completely including:

• Physical pain
  

• Emotional concerns
  

• Respiratory, circulatory and digestive issues
  

• Ob-Gyn
  

• Colds, flus, other infections
  

• Addiction
  

• Side effects of medications

• Other benefits: a strong immune system, good sleep, healthy digestion and more rapid post-operative healing and paralysis/post-stroke rehabilitation

2008-06-12 02:16:28   What kind of treatment do you offer for detox, withdrawal, and general drug addiction therapy? Can you document any successes you have had in the past? —Jbmx

2008-08-29 23:33:39   As far as detox, withdrawal, and drug addiction are concerned, the treatment help reduce cravings, stabilize mood, and help the body process the accumulation of toxins that have been built up over time. While the same set of points has been used successfully to treat opiate and other hard drug addiction, my primary experience is with smoking cessation. The primary reason for this is that other drugs are usually treated in the context of a rehab clinic where acupuncture is just one part of the treatment. I am hoping to team up with such a facility in the near future.

Smokers getting acupuncture tend to find less satisfaction from the cigarettes and often say, "They don't taste the same." This reaction is the beginning of them breaking the cycle. Any addiction is a complicated process that involves many lifestyle and psychological changes. Acupuncture can help mitigate the withdrawal symptoms and cravings while providing a gentle calming effect in a very stressful time. —itayneta

We are *so* lucky to have so knowledgeable and attuned an acupuncturist in this community, and in a completely affordable community clinic to boot. Itay's treatments have done wonder for a variety of physical aches and pains, digestive issues, and other system imbalances I've had in the last year, and everyone I know who's ever been to see him has had the same amazing response to his treatments. He is exceedingly generous with his time, attention, and energy. The synergistic effect of being in a room with other patients during treatments is incomparable. I can't stop recommending the DCAC to everyone around me... —calvin2
