- [Mountain View Acupuncture](https://anniewanglac.com/connect/mountain-view-acupuncture/): Served at our Los Altos Clinic
Those in Mountain View often consider acupuncture treatment for a variety of reasons. At Annie Wang Acupuncture our team of practitioners focus on fertility acupuncture, acupuncture for pain relief and stress, and many other conditions/disorders that respond well to this natural, non-invasive treatment.
Acupuncture for stress. Stress is almost a fact of life in today's society and often triggers digestive disorders, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and even more serious health issues. Acupuncture greatly reduces stress helping you feel calm, relaxed, and in a better place from an emotional perspective.
Many couples face fertility problems today that make conceiving difficult, if not impossible. Fertility acupuncture works to balance hormones and increase blood flow, essential for nourishing the cells and tissues of the reproductive system and throughout the body. Women with endometriosis, PCOS or other conditions often have difficulty becoming pregnant. Some couples decide to undergo intrauterine insemination or in-vitro fertilization when they have exhausted all other options. IVF and IUI acupuncture increase success rates with these treatments, which often must be done repeatedly with no guarantee of success.
A Natural Approach to Fertility
Acupuncture for pain relief is very common for those who suffer from pain related to arthritis, fibromyalgia, surgery, migraines, tendonitis, fractures and strains, and other types of pain. Back and neck pain are common, as is menstrual pain. Of the patients who get acupuncture treatments, 70% do so to get relief from pain. Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural painkillers, those "feel good" endorphins.
Acupuncture is effective for many women's health issues including PCOS, endometriosis, and menopause. Hormone imbalances often contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and other reproductive disorders. Women who are entering the menopause stage in their life, perimenopause, often experience depression, anxiety, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, and many other unpleasant
side effects. Those with PCOS or endometriosis may experience heavy or long periods, absent periods, excessive hair growth in areas it doesn't belong, acne, weight gain, migraines, lower back pain, or infertility. Whether for PCOS, endometriosis, or menopause treatment, acupuncture provides relief physically and emotionally while supporting the body's ability to heal from within.
About Annie Wang Acupuncture Team
Pregnancy acupuncture is a treatment that many women who are pregnant seek out to get relief from insomnia, heartburn, depression, aches and pains, morning sickness, hemorrhoids, and other common side effects that often spoil the joys of pregnancy. Acupuncture also promotes a sense of overall health and well-being following pregnancy, so you can enjoy your new experience to the fullest.
Male fertility acupuncture is becoming a more common treatment among men who have fertility issues such as low sperm production, hormone imbalances, poor sperm motility or quality, or due to stress, illness, or other factors. Acupuncture enhances male fertility just as it does women's fertility.
Acupuncture is a complementary breast cancer treatment that helps with the negative symptoms patients often experience related to radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery.

- [Acupuncture for Male Fertility](https://anniewanglac.com/specialties/male-fertility-acupuncture/): Male infertility accounts for 40-50% of infertility cases, and is commonly due to low sperm production, poor morphology, poor motility, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Western medicine addresses structural problems or blockages through surgical means, which often help with conception. However, its scope is limited when it comes to non-surgical treatments. 
- [Acupuncture for Pregnancy](https://anniewanglac.com/specialties/pregnancy-acupuncture-los-altos/): The practice of acupuncture during pregnancy dates back for over 2,000 years. Acupuncture is not a substitute for Western prenatal medical care. Instead, it offers complementary care that has many benefits. Since acupuncture has very few side effects, many pregnant women seek acupuncture to enhance wellness during pregnancy and labor, and as an alternative to medication for many common pregnancy complaints.
- [Acupuncture for Fertility](https://anniewanglac.com/specialties/fertility-acupuncture-los-altos/): We work with couples at every stages of their journey to parenthood. Studies show that acupuncture can increase the chances that assisted reproductive technologies (ART) will result in a live birth by 10 to 15 percent or more.
- [Acupuncture for Stress](https://anniewanglac.com/specialties/acupuncture-stress/): As an evolutionary imperative, our bodies protect us from potential predators and aggressors by flooding the bloodstream with hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Other fundamental functions such as digestion, immune and reproductive capabilities shut down, directing blood to our extremities, so if needed, we can fight what is threatening us, or run away if the threat cannot be dealt with.
- [Acupuncture for Pain Relief](https://anniewanglac.com/specialties/acupuncture-pain-relief/): According to the National Institute of Health’s 2007 National Health Interview Survey, 7 out of 10 people who get acupuncture use it to relieve pain.
- [Gallery](https://anniewanglac.com/gallery/): Gallery Pulse taking is an important diagnostic tool in Chinese medicine. Taking the pulse helps us gain a deeper understanding of our patients' symptoms, constitutions, and emotions. Yin Tang point needling. A lot of our patients tell us that this acupuncture point between the eyebrows is one of the most calming and relaxing points in their treatment. Most of the time, patients lie down for needles. Side needling is done when patients have physical restrictions such as pregnancy or low back pain. Afraid of needles? Our needles are tiny compared to the hypodermic needles used for shots. We can use extra-tiny needles, so fear will not get in the way of reaping all the benefits acupuncture has to offer. Seated needling is another needling option when a patient cannot lie down. Cupping therapy creates a local suction on the skin to increase circulation in order to promote healing. Cupping is great for invigorating energy, relieving muscle tension, and supporting injury recovery. Cupping suction is made using heat (fire) or mechanical devices (hand pumps). It can leave temporary bruised marks on the skin, but the marks will disappear on their own. Gua Sha close up. Gua Sha involves repeated pressured strokes over lubricated skin with a smooth edge. Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising. Gua Sha relieves heat & blood stagnation from injured areas and stimulates blood flow and healing.
