Dr. Samuel F. Salas

Advanced Health Care Center

What should I expect from an Acupuncture session.

Dr. Salas offers a wide variety of therapeutic services, often used in conjunction. Methods of treatment include acupuncture, herbal and nutritional medicine, manual therapies, cupping, and lifestyle recommendations.

Acupuncture is a form of treatment that employs fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body's healing response.

How many treatments will I need?

A standard course of acupuncture therapy generally consists of 12 treatments of 20-40 minutes over 1 to 2 months. These are estimates, however, as specific therapy depends on your condition. Our goal is to achieve quick and lasting results.

Will it hurt?

The individual response to acupuncture varies, but because the needles are so thin, their insertion is generally painless. During a treatment it is common to experience local or traveling sensations of "pulling," "grabbing," or tingling. The most common response to acupuncture is relaxation.

Is it safe?

Acupuncture is extremely safe. One of the best aspects of acupuncture, and Chinese medicine in general, is its remarkably low incidence of adverse effects. Each needle is sterile and used only once.

Acupuncture modalities include:

Orthopedic Acupuncture, Trigger-Point Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture

Electro-Acupuncture refers to the use of mild electric stimulation at acupuncture points in order to reduce pain and increase function.

LED Therapy employs a machine that penetrates tissue with a strong light to reduce pain and inflammation.

Manual Therapy includes a wide range of bodywork, stretching, resistance, exercise, and massage techniques to reduce pain and stress, and promote healing.
