Nava’s licensed acupuncturists assess your body from a traditional Chinese medical model and use a light needling technique to stimulate various points of the body, or acupoints, which can promote the body’s natural flow of energy and balance its meridians.

Nava’s acupuncture may be paired with other functional healthcare services at Nava Health as a complementary therapy. To optimize your acupuncture sessions, we recommend you complete Nava’s advanced diagnostics, which our acupuncture doctors review collaboratively and use to develop your Custom Vitality Plan™.

Benefits of Acupuncture

For centuries, acupuncture therapy has also been used to enhance various body functions.  The philosophy behind acupuncture is focused around prevention; by encouraging the free flow of energy through the body, specialists believe that many conditions can be prevented. When conditions do arise however, acupuncture can be very effective in providing relief. Clients report many benefits from acupuncture, including the following:

  • Fertility
  • Immunity
  • Energy optimization
  • Increased Cellular Respiration
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Facial Rejuvenation
  • Insomnia
  • Digestive Issues
  • Autoimmune Disorders
  • Inflammatory Disorders (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, etc.)

Acupuncture for Weight Loss

Acupuncture can complement your weight loss journey, whether it’s self-guided or supported by the NavaRX medical weight loss program. Sixty-minute full-body treatments can help manage symptoms during weight loss. Thirty-minute sessions focus on digestion and metabolism-related channels.

Acupuncture may be able to help with the key symptoms that may occur during a weight loss or detox program, including:

  • Fatigue
  • Hunger
  • Mood
  • Sleep
  • Digestion
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea

Like all our integrative services, our acupuncture is customized to address your current symptoms.

Our acupuncturists can identify injection sites for treatments such as B-12 and Lidocaine.

Acupuncture and Pain Management

Acupuncture can be very effective at relieving both chronic and acute conditions. That is why over 80% of clients who seek acupuncture nationally, do so for various pain conditions.

Acupuncture and Hormone Therapy

When paired with Nava’s Hormone Optimization Therapy, acupuncture can be used weekly to further enhance the client experience by helping provide relief for:

  • Hot Flashes
  • Mood Swings
  • Low Libido
  • Generalized fatigue
  • Impotence

Acupuncture Side Effects

As with all therapies, there are potential side effects. Following is a list of the most frequently reported side effects:

  • Fatigue
  • Bruising & soreness at needle sites
  • Mild muscle twitching
  • Emotional release
  • Lightheadedness

First-time acupuncture clients often wonder if it hurts. Generally, the answer is no. Some clients might feel the needles being placed in the skin, but it’s important to remember that the needles are very thin and not hollow like hypodermic needles. This design allows them to enter the skin with minimal or no discomfort.
