Acupuncture in Los Angeles

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Care

Acupuncture is a time-tested healing practice that supports pain relief, stress reduction, and whole-body balance. At Golden Mean Acupuncture in Los Angeles, treatments blend traditional Chinese medicine with a modern understanding of anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience.

Our approach honors the wisdom of an ancient medical system while integrating evidence-based insights to support the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and help the body restore balance naturally.

What Acupuncture Can Help With

Patients come to Golden Mean Acupuncture for support with a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Chronic and acute pain (back, neck, shoulders, headaches, migraines)

  • Stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep issues

  • Digestive concerns (IBS, reflux, constipation, nausea)

  • Fertility support and reproductive health

  • Pregnancy and labor preparation

  • Immune support, allergies, and respiratory health

  • Neurological concerns such as neuropathy and post-stroke recovery

Each treatment is personalized — two people with the same diagnosis may receive entirely different care based on their unique constitution and goals.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session

Your first visit begins with a comprehensive intake, where we discuss your health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. We use both traditional diagnostic methods (such as pulse and tongue assessment) and modern clinical insight to create an individualized treatment plan.

Ultra-fine, sterile needles are placed gently at specific points on the body. Most patients experience little to no discomfort and often feel deeply relaxed during treatment. Sessions typically last 60–75 minutes, including a rest period that allows the body to shift into a healing state.

Many patients notice improvements after just a few sessions, with benefits building over time.

A Thoughtful, Integrative Approach

Acupuncture works well alongside Western medical care and is often used in combination with physical therapy, medications, or other treatments. Many patients find it helps reduce pain, improve resilience to stress, and support long-term wellbeing.

Golden Mean Acupuncture serves Los Angeles neighborhoods including Angelino Heights, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Koreatown, Downtown LA, and East Hollywood.
