Acupuncture FAQs
-
Does acupuncture hurt?
No, acupuncture should not hurt. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, flexible needles that are hardly felt when inserted. In fact, most people find the experience to be relaxing and some patients fall asleep during treatment.
-
What should I wear to my acupuncture appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Michelle will need access to your arms and legs, so it will be helpful if you are able to roll your sleeves above your elbows and your pants above your knees. You should also wear a top that will allow you to uncover your abdomen or back.
-
Do you have to be licensed to perform acupuncture?
Yes. Only acupuncturists who maintain a valid license issued by the California Acupuncture Board and physicians licensed by the Medical Board of California can perform acupuncture in the state of California. Michelle Siazon, RN LAc is a California licensed acupuncturist, registered nurse, and herbalist.
-
How long does an acupuncture session take?
Your first session will last about 1 to 1.5 hours. After consulting with Michelle, you will lay on the table with the acupuncture needles for around 20-40 minutes in a peaceful setting. Subsequent sessions last about a total of one hour.
-
Do you use sterile, single-use needles?
Yes. All of our acupuncture needles are single-use, sterile, come in sterile packaging, and are safely disposed of after a single use, per California Code of Regulations, Title 16, Section 1399.454

Do you take insurance?

-
“I started seeing Michelle in 2020, after my second son was born. I had developed gallstones in pregnancy and at 3 months postpartum I started having really bad gallbladder attacks. Her acupuncture treatments helped calm my gallbladder, not to mention my nervous system. I would fall asleep every treatment! I continued seeing her and saw her throughout my third pregnancy. Her treatments were so nurturing and became the highlight of my week. Michelle has such a calming presence and truly cares about each individual person she works with. I highly recommend booking a session with her. You will be so happy you did.” – Kiersten M.

“My friend had a ROUGH pregnancy and delivery that destroyed her - Over the course of her first postpartum year I witnessed the recovery of her vitality and youthful radiance- she told me she attributed it in large part to her work with Michelle. The results were self evident so I promptly booked a session.
That was 3 years ago and now even though I don't live in SD anymore I always make sure to book a session when Im in town. She is a wonderful listener, her gentle skill has helped me recover my own balance from a brutal birth, mobilize and heal c-section scar tissue and to recover from injury related pain and numbness. She uses a combination of acupuncture, cupping, heat and oil packs, and a crystal heat bed (really - I can't do it justice you have to experience it to understand)
I recommend Michelle wholeheartedly to any woman who is looking for reproductive support or otherwise wants to move stagnant/stuck energy in the hips or pelvis.” – Danger R.

“Michelle is amazing! She helped me with the symptoms of a chronic condition after going to specialists for years. I also referred my best friend who was having trouble getting pregnant. After working with Michelle she got pregnant twice. Michelle is an incredible healer and I highly recommend her.” – Sara B.

“Michelle is so wonderful! I have seen her for the last 10 years, both when pregnant and not. She is so welcoming, knowledgeable, and is definitely a healer. She has walked me through various holistic ways to address concerns that have come up and ones that I continue to use to stay healthy. I definitely recommend Michelle. You would be giving yourself the biggest gift in life!” – Johnna G.

“I've been seeing Michelle for over 10 years for various reasons. She is a fountain of knowledge, and I owe many of the positive changes in my health to her guidance. Michelle is incredibly warm, caring, and attentive to your specific needs. I also love being greeted with a little magnesium drink, and every session leaves me feeling so relaxed and cared for. I cannot speak more highly of Michelle--she truly goes above and beyond. Just go and experience it for yourself! Thank you Michelle!” – Tab C.
