I needed relief from chronic pain in my back, hips, and sciatic nerve. I have had these problems for a number of years. My doctors used physical therapy, and pain medication. I can no longer take anti-inflammatory medication. My acupuncture treatments have helped a lot. I can now relax, and I feel almost pain free. It has helped my attitude also. My activities have improved. Michele is a wonderful person, caring, compassionate, and an excellent acupuncture therapist!

After two back surgeries, I was still having a great deal of pain. A friend told me acupuncture helped him with shoulder pain. I was a little skeptical but decided to give it a try. I didn’t want to stay on Percocet pain killers forever. After receiving acupuncture treatments, I was amazed how it helped with the pain. It isn’t gone but it is at least bearable.

I know it works because I took a five week hiatus from acupuncture treatments and experienced hot flashes so severe that I actually did not want to live. With four treatments I was back to feeling great with only a very occasional minimal hot flash. Acupuncture is relaxing and uplifting.

What is color light therapy, and what are its benefits?
Color light has been used for thousands of years to promote healing, relieve pain and for spiritual attunement purposes. There are records of color light healing from as far back as ancient Egypt and Greece. In modern times, low level light has been used for pain relief, cancer therapy, addictions, facial rejuvenation, treatment of depression and much more. Color light is also used as a form of acupuncture treatment, and provides a stronger body-mind-emotions connection than traditional needle therapies.
How does color heal the body?
Photons (light particles) and phonons (sound particles) have been shown to be integral parts of the body’s amazing internal communication network. This “living matrix” also includes neuro-peptides such as hormones and neuro-transmitters. Research in Russia has confirmed that light actually travels through the meridian system, as has been confirmed using sensitive test equipment called a photo-multiplier.
Each color (wavelength) of light carries information to the cells of the body, and gently triggers improved functions. For example, the liver is very sensitive to Red and Green light. Red stimulates a sluggish, weakened liver, while Green reduces inflammation and helps smooth the flow of Qi, or life energy associated with the liver. Orange light helps treat hypo-thyroid conditions with fatigue, weight gain and dry skin by boosting thyroid hormone output, while Indigo light has the opposite effect, reducing hyper-thyroid conditions such as nervousness, weight loss and goiter.
*The application of micro-current and color light through acupuncture points has been shown to be particularly powerful for shortening treatment times and improving results for acute and chronic pain patients and for cosmetic facial rejuvenation anti-aging treatments.
What is the Cost of Elite Acupuncture?

This is offered at a 25% discount off our regular rate of $115, rounded down for Healthy Roads, Kaiser patients, etc. We don’t bill insurance or super bill for Elite Acupuncture.

Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day from my family to yours!

Happy Father’s Day Jim! Thanks for taking the picture when we were at Angel’s Stadium in May. Thank you for all you do!
- Chauffeur to all boys sporting events, practices, and skating parks
- Providing extra coaching, soft toss, and hitting lessons
- Helping Tyler and Luke with school projects that require creativity, art work, and lots of time
- Cooking yummy breakfast and dinners. You have really become, “Le chef cuisinier”! You can flip an egg in the pan without the yoke breaking.
- Taking care of house, pool, and yard maintenance, which sometimes require MacGyver like attributes.
- Staying on hold with AT & T for over an hour, and reacting very calmly (yeah, right) when the rep asks you to stay on the line, and let him call your phone number to see if the problem has been fixed. Hmmm, “But, I’m talking to you right now from this phone number!
- Teaching our boys how to ride dirt bikes, and camp in the desert, and not minding when I opt out.
We love you, and all that you do. Happy Father’s Day!
From Dr. Michele Arnold at Acupuncture Center, Inc.
