The Lafayette Acupuncture Center is the Bay Area leader in scientific acupuncture. 
In the 1970’s when acupuncture was first introduced to the American public, China was a country shrouded in secrecy, and acupuncture was considered to be a mysterious; exotic therapy in which needles placed in the body in a kind of connect-the-dots fashion were said to move energy through invisible channels.

We are now in the second decade of the 21st century, and we have learned a lot from the past 40 years.  It has become clear that acupuncture follows the same laws of anatomy and physiology that apply to other medicine. 

At the Lafayette Acupuncture Center we are at the forefront of scientific acupuncture.  We use our understanding of anatomy and physiology to guide treatments and it is that gives us outstanding and dependable results in the treatment of neurological, orthopedic, and autonomic imbalance disorders:  pain, numbness, imbalance, stress, weakness, depression, and fatigue.

We specialize in solving difficult problems. 

If you have pain or numbness, we can help you.

If you are suffering from weakness, stress or fatigue, we can help you.

We get excellent, repeatable results treating orthopedic and neurological problems.  Muscle, nerve and joint problems will almost always improve with acupuncture.

Who YOU are is important to us, and we will get to know you and your health issues.  And, we will communicate clearly with you regarding your diagnosis, length and type of treatment, and costs.
