What is Saam Acupuncture?

Saam Acupuncture is a classical 17th-century Korean acupuncture system that treats the underlying cause of a condition rather than just the site of pain. It uses a small number of precisely selected points, typically on the hands and feet, to shift the body's internal balance and support healing. It is highly effective for pain, stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, digestive conditions, and trauma-related injuries.

Does workers' compensation cover acupuncture in California?

What is the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?

Both use thin filiform needles but differ substantially in training, philosophy, and scope. Dry needling is an add-on certification focused on myofascial trigger points, typically requiring a weekend to a few days of training. Licensed acupuncturists complete 3-4 years of graduate education with 500-1,000+ supervised clinical hours. In California, dry needling by physical therapists is not permitted — California law states it is unlawful for anyone other than a licensed acupuncturist, physician, surgeon, dentist, or podiatrist to insert needles into the human body.

Can acupuncture help with anxiety?

Yes. Research shows acupuncture produces meaningful reductions in anxiety symptoms, modulates activity in the amygdala, lowers cortisol levels, and improves sleep in anxious patients. At Raah Acupuncture, we use Saam Acupuncture and ear acupuncture to treat generalized anxiety, stress-related tension, post-trauma anxiety, and anxiety with insomnia.
