Alongside your doctor,
Alongside your doctor,
not instead.
Acupuncture helps a good many people with pain and stress-related complaints. What it is not is a replacement for medical care, and anyone telling you to stop a prescription is someone to leave.

How we work
A licensed Florida practice, clear about its limits
Yi Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine PLLC is a professional limited liability company registered in the State of Florida, document number L23000401907, filed in 2023. Treatment is provided only by an acupuncturist licensed by the Florida Board of Acupuncture under [FLORIDA ACUPUNCTURE LICENCE NUMBER].
What we will not do matters as much as what we will. We claim no cure for any condition. We never advise anyone to stop or change prescribed medication — that is between you and your physician. Herbal formulas are supplements rather than approved drugs and can interact with medication, so we review your full list first. Needles are single use and sterile, always. And this is not an emergency service: call 911 in an emergency.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel a dull heaviness rather than pain. Minor bruising, soreness or brief dizziness happen occasionally, and we explain the risks properly before your first treatment rather than afterwards.
Are the needles reused?
Never. They are sterile, single use and disposed of after every treatment. It is worth asking this anywhere you go.
Can I take herbs with my prescriptions?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Several common formulas interact with anticoagulants, blood pressure medication and sedatives. Bring your full list, including supplements, and we will check before prescribing anything.
Can acupuncture cure my condition?
We make no cure claims for anything, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We will tell you honestly whether this is likely to help your situation, including when the answer is no.
Should I stop my medication?
No, and we will never tell you to. Any change to prescribed medication is a decision for the physician who prescribed it.
Why does cupping leave marks?
It draws blood to the surface, leaving round discoloured areas for several days. It is normal, and we show people what to expect beforehand — though we avoid it with bleeding disorders or anticoagulants.
Not sure if it would help?
A short call to talk through your situation, with an honest answer.
