Acupuncture for Headaches and Migraines
What the Treatment Does: Acupuncture alleviates headache and migraine pain by reducing inflammation, releasing endorphins, and addressing tension in muscles and nerves.
​
Why It Works: By targeting specific acupuncture points, we can improve blood flow to the head and neck, balance hormones, and calm the nervous system, addressing both symptoms and root causes. Acupuncture is especially effective for migraines related to muscle tension and hormonal changes.
​​​
Acupuncture for Tinnitus and Hearing Loss
What the Treatment Does: Acupuncture and hypnotherapy help to potentially reduce ringing, buzzing, or discomfort in the ears and may support auditory nerve function.
​
Why It Works: By improving circulation in the head and neck, reducing stress, and reducing muscle tension, acupuncture supports overall ear health and can alleviate symptoms of tinnitus and mild hearing loss. Hypnotherapy and Hypnopuncture help give you tools to manage your response to ringing in the ears, so even if the ringing persists, you have a better way to manage how it impacts you and your life.

Acupuncture Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) and Pain
TMJ dysfunction often presents with jaw pain, headaches, and even ear discomfort, making it a significant concern for many. Our acupuncture treatments focus on relieving the underlying tension in the jaw muscles, improving joint function, and promoting relaxation. This non-invasive approach to TMJ treatment in Oakland provides lasting relief without the need for medications or invasive procedures.
​
What the Treatment Does: Relieves jaw tension, reduces inflammation and promotes better joint function, addressing related symptoms like clenching and grinding.
​
Why It Works: Acupuncture stimulates muscles and nerves to release tension in the jaw and surrounding areas, reducing pain and restoring normal function without invasive interventions. Prescriptive exercises help address postural issues that contribute to neck tension, clenching and grinding.
​
Sinus and Allergy Relief
What the Treatment Does: Reduces sinus pressure, relieves nasal congestion, and minimizes allergy symptoms by decreasing inflammation and promoting sinus drainage.
​
Why It Works: Acupuncture enhances blood flow, supports the immune system, and calms overactive immune responses, offering relief for chronic sinus issues and seasonal allergies.
​
Throat Discomfort
What the Treatment Does: Eases sensations like cricopharyngeal spasm or globus sensation by relaxing throat muscles and reducing stress.
​
Why It Works: Acupuncture targets the nervous system to address the mind-body connection, calming the underlying anxiety or tension contributing to throat discomfort.

"I had been struggling with near-constant facial pain and migraines for years due to TMJ. My next treatment was a costly mouthguard, but I decided to work with Dr. Kim first. Wow. What a difference! She gave me corrective exercises and treatments that helped me correct and manage my pain and lower the frequency of my migraines and the severity of the TMJ issues." -VP
