Trust us, Acupuncture is not just for new age-y folks who are not too keen on the western medicine tip. Acupuncture is a viable option when you are looking to make a change in your constitution (i.e. detox, boost your immune system..etc.) in order to have your body process and function in tip-top shape. Located in hipster Hayes Valley, Rose Glavin's boutique acupuncture studio has a mellow Asian-esque vibe where clients can come to revitalize, de-stress, and nourish their body whole. Rose's focus leans towards women's health and If you are just starting your Acupuncture regimen, Rose will ask you a battery of questions about your habits. She's very discreet and you can feel free to discuss sensitive issues- she's seen (and heard) it all. This assessment will help her to determine the best course for your treatment. Rose also has a willingness to consult and work with your regular MD making it easy to incorporate any of your regular meds. The actual Acupuncture is truly pain-free, once the thin needles are in place you're left to relax and drift off. Although acupuncture takes time, we will say that we felt infinitely better after only a few sessions. Our sustained commitment helped to heal an autoimmune skin issue that we were battling for years. For us, acupuncture is nothing short of a miracle. What else can we say? At the risk of sounding very Cali, we can sum up our experience in 3 words: acupuncture is awesome.
