Acupuncture in Tustin, CA with Dr. Brandon Bright, DAOM, LAc: a Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine treating pain, stress, sleep, digestion, hormones, and fatigue from a clinic on Newport Avenue, just off the 5 freeway. Every first visit includes a full intake, tongue and pulse assessment, treatment, and a written plan with a clear checkpoint, so you know what to expect and when.
What acupuncture here looks like
A first visit runs about 75 minutes: a real conversation about your history, a traditional assessment, 8–15 hair-thin sterile needles, and 25–30 minutes of rest. Follow-ups are shorter. If you’ve never had acupuncture, read your first visit, minute by minute and what it actually feels like.
Depending on your case, treatment can include:
- Acupuncture and electroacupuncture for pain, headaches, stress, sleep, and recovery
- Auricular (ear) acupuncture
- Cupping and moxibustion
- Chinese herbal medicine when it fits your pattern and your medications
- Functional lab review when bloodwork could explain why something isn’t healing (see the lab review visit)
