Treatment

The first treatment includes detailed initial evaluation where we observe, ask questions, assess the condition and then make our diagnosis.
The patient then will receive a short treatment of acupuncture and if needed Tuina massage. At the end of the treatment, which will last approximately
1 1/2 hours, the practitioner and the patient will discuss a treatment plan which will vary depending on the patient’s condition.

The following treatments last approximately 1 hour. During the acupuncture treatment the patient lies down on a comfortable treatment table. A pulse and
a tongue diagnosis are made. The patient may feel varing sensations as the Qi moves, such as warmth, tingling, coolness, vibration and sometimes twitching
as the stagnant energy releases. The majority of patients find that the treatments are extremely relaxing and rejuvenating.

Life’s Essence clinic uses only sterile, one time use disposable acupuncture needles.

We use the best quality Chinese herbs and organic western herbal formulas.

“Locally, we came across Tuina at Life’s Essence in Capitola. The clinic of traditional Chinese medicine also offers acupuncture and herbology under the guidance of two stellar practitioners, Yuval and Einav Avital This is a dynamic
little hot spot, located next to Spa Fitness, another good health option...”
