Our Services

  • Auricular acupuncture is a form of acupuncture that targets specific points on the ear, which correspond to different parts of the body, to treat conditions such as pain, stress, sleep disorders, and addiction.

  • Kinesio taping involves applying elastic therapeutic tape to support muscles and joints while allowing full movement, helping to reduce pain and inflammation. K-Patch therapy is a specialized form of kinesiology tape that provides targeted, continuous relief by delivering sustained pressure to specific areas, enhancing healing and muscle recovery.

Traditional Herbal Medicine

Traditional herbal medicine is often used alongside acupuncture to enhance the body’s healing response, restore balance, and address underlying imbalances that may not be fully addressed by acupuncture alone. By combining these therapies, we support long-term wellness, improve the effectiveness of treatments, and provide a more holistic approach to managing conditions such as pain, stress, and digestive issues. It is also used as a stand alone method for treating specific conditions.

What our clients say:

  • Bianca

    “After experiencing wrist, thumb, and arm pain after having my first child, my primary care doctor suggested I try acupuncture. I found Essential Acupuncture shortly after, and it had helped tremendously! As a fitness instructor and mom, I’m so thankful the treatments have helped me to maintain my active lifestyle with less pain. Dr. Kim is great, and the rest of the staff is kind and responds quickly!”

  • Kenn

    “Essential Acupuncture was referred to me, as a place for me to try after experiencing a stroke about a year ago. I was hesitant at first, as I’ve never had experienced it before. Now I’ve been there for almost 2 years now and find my mobility on my left side has noticed in many ways.”

  • Rachel

    “I have had many acupuncture treatments and I have seen at least 10 acupuncturists all around the world. I have never had an acupuncture treatment like the one I had here. I had an extensive understanding of where I needed help with visual aids and verbal discussions after an evaluation here. The acupuncture was painless quick and effective. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone even people new to acupuncture.”

  • Minae

    “I was looking for herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment for the postpartum anxiety, back pain, and shoulder pain I was experiencing after giving birth. I found Essential and it has improved a lot! The Oriental medicine doctor also explained it carefully and step-by-step, which was a great help. They prescribed herbal medicine as needed and acupuncture treatment according to my symptoms, so I improved a lot. I am truly grateful that my symptoms are improving as I continue to go.”
