..I suffer from migraine headaches and was looking for assistance with long term pain management. Within just a few treatments with Kourtney my inflammation and pain is significantly improving. I highly recommend this practice!"

...I came to you with carpal tunnel pain that was so bad I could barely get through a day of work. After seven treatments, I am pain free. I was sure I was facing surgery, but now that does not appear to be necessary. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Verified Review for Kourtney Zamora, L.Ac.
​
"I went to Kourtney for sciatica pain. I've had it off and on for 10 years and had never tried acupuncture. This time it was crippling pain, could barely get out of bed, hurt to walk, stand, sit. Kourtney is very kind and extremely gentle. I didn't even feel the needles going in or coming out."

How does acupuncture work so well for pain? 

At The Pines Acupuncture, we focus on techniques for chronic pain which can result in: 

• Improved blood flow to targeted areas for decreased pain and tension.
• Release of muscle spasms to release pressure on nerves.
• Regulation of pain-inducing inflammation and reduced swelling.
• Improved sleep and improved digestion by calming the nervous system.

"..my pain and neuropathy became unbearable. I made an appointment with The Pines Acupuncture September 2020. Kourtney got me right in, scheduling me twice a week. After just three weeks, my pain decreased so much I feel normal, for me again. I’m now able to sleep all night now without any help from pills. Thank you So much for your help and caring."

Frequently Asked Questions

---

Do you take insurance? 

Yes. We are in-network with most insurance companies. HSA (health savings account), or FSA (flex spending account) is accepted as a form of payment.

Many of our patients do not have insurance coverage. During the consultation we will go through a treatment/pricing plan for you. 

We accept motor vehicle claims; we will do the billing. If you are using PIP, we need the date of the accident, claim number, insurance claims adjuster's contact information and attorney's contact information, if applicable.

​Veterans can get a referral from their VA medical doctor to receive acupuncture.

​We are in-network with L&I for low back pain only.

Does acupuncture hurt?

There may be a dull, achy sensation around the needle but that is a good sign that change is happening. After the needle insertion, most people find acupuncture very relaxing.

---

How many sessions will I need?

Some conditions take less time (4-6 weeks) to heal and chronic conditions require a longer maintenance routine to keep things running smoothly.

Each individual is unique with their own set of symptoms and health history. A consultation is the first step and we will tailor a plan just for you.

---

How can I prepare for my acupuncture treatment? 

Please have something to eat within a few hours of coming in for your treatment. The best clothing to wear is loose clothing that can easily be rolled up if needed. If you forget to bring loose fitting clothes, a sheet can easily be used for drapery.

---

Why do I feel so sleepy during an acupuncture session?

Acupuncture has an effect on our central nervous system. We move into a pattern of rest (parasympathetic), allowing for healing and recovery to take place.
