Upon arrival at the clinic, please stay in your car and text 562-310-1948 to let us know you arrived. We will text you back to let you know when your room is ready for you to enter.

We will also send you pre-screening questions 24 hours before your appointment to complete ahead of time regarding COVID-19 Safety and Prevention.

For your treatment, it is best to wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be rolled over the knees and elbows.

Make sure that you have eaten at least an hour or two before your treatment. Please try to avoid eating or drinking anything that can stain your tongue like coffee, tea, juice, colored cough drops or candy. We will be looking at your tongue as part of our diagnosis and we want it to look like it normally does.

Please be aware that if it’s your first-time getting acupuncture, you may feel tired and want to rest after your treatment. Most people find they sleep better after treatment.
