Services

Acupuncture

Our acupuncture treatments utilize Traditional Chinese, Master Tung, Dr. Tan, and Japanese Kiiko styles to target pain, fatigue, and emotional disorders. Licensed practitioners with doctoral training customize needle techniques for each patient's constitution and condition. We accept insurance and workers' compensation to make evidence-based acupuncture accessible for Hayward residents.

Cupping

Cupping therapy applies suction cups to stimulate circulation, release muscle tension, and detoxify meridian pathways throughout the body. Our practitioners integrate this modality into comprehensive treatment plans for respiratory issues, chronic pain, and sports recovery. Sessions are tailored to individual tolerance and combined with acupuncture for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.

Chinese Herbal Therapy

Our Chinese herbal pharmacy formulates customized granule and raw herb prescriptions to address internal imbalances, digestive disorders, and hormonal fluctuations. A licensed pharmacist-acupuncturist reviews each formula for safety, drug interactions, and therapeutic synergy with Western medications. Herbal consultations are available both in-person and via telehealth for ongoing wellness management.

Fang's Scalp Acupuncture

This third-generation lineage offers high-efficiency scalp needling with milder sensation for neurological, pain, and psychological conditions. Dr. Zhuying Huang, the lineage inheritor, applies precise zone stimulation to regulate Qi and harmonize Yin-Yang rapidly. The technique is ideal for patients seeking gentle yet powerful intervention for complex chronic ailments.

Just completed 6 sessions of a 1 hour massage therapy every Wednesday paid by my Worker Compensation for a back injury. Megan was very professional and she is very good at her profession. Thank you guys so much for your assistance in this matter.

I have been suffering from neck pain and tigger thumb. Surgery was recommended. One of doctors suggested acupuncture. I was nervous about having needles put in my head and neck. But, it has changed my life! Dr. Lillian Huang is a miracle worker! I don't need a brace to sleep. She knows exactly where I need the focus for my treatment. Jessica and the rest of the office staff are friendly!

I can't say enough about California Acupuncture Center. I've had PT and cortisone shots in my left knee after injuring it 6 months ago and nothing has worked as well as the acupuncture and massage I received at CA Acupuncture Center.

Had my first ever acupuncture and cupping session last week after dealing with excruciating neck pain for a couple of weeks. I worked with Crystal and was so impressed with her honest, professional, and down to earth demeanor. I was very nervous and her calm, friendly, and knowledgeable bedside manner really put me at ease. I'm also very excited and relieved to say my pain has been reduced about 85% and it hasn't even been a full week since my first session.

Crystal is my acupuncturist - I came in with severe low back pain and in a matter of 6 sessions, the spasms, as well as the pin prickly pain was down to a 1-2 on a 10 scale. It's a little tough to get parking in the afternoons, and sometimes they run late, but all in all I am super happy with Crystal and their services. She is a great listener and always takes her time making sure she gets the right pressure points. It's very relaxing there and I always walk away feeling like I'm on my way to 100% healing. Lastly, their bathrooms are big, pretty and clean which is a big plus for me too.
