Relatively new to acupuncture, and am now a big proponent. Recently used it for intermittent wrist pain, and it greatpu improved after only one visit. Julia was very thorough in diagnosising the issue.

If you’re looking to start acupuncture, there is no better place than Pleasant Wellness! Whoever you see - whether it’s Julia, Hannah or Jennifer (the only few I’ve had sessions with), they are exceptional. You can tell how much they genuinel care to just get you feeling better and help resolve any health issues you’re having. They added a massage bed I got to try for the first time today and it was PHENOMENAL! They are truly the best, so grateful to have found them years ago. Thank you, Pleasant Wellness!

Earlier this summer I was recovering from a very challenging open surgical procedure on my ankle when I found Julia’s practice. Her Acupuncture and herbal therapies provided relief from the pain and swelling at the surgical site and I was noticeably more mobile over the course of a few weeks of treatments.

Julia and her staff are professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Pleasant Wellness for anyone seeking acupuncture treatment!

My mother has worked with Julia for well over a year now, and she has had nothing but amazing things to say about her. Not only is Julia friendly, caring, and personable, but she is incredibly knowledgeable on how to help promote longevity and rehabilitate the parts of my mom’s body that has been affected by her cancer. I strongly recommend Julia and Pleasant Wellness to anyone who’s looking to alleviate their aches and pains. Thank you, Julia!!

I enjoy working with Junrong (Julia) she is awesome and now she has a great assistant too. I've been going to Pleasant Wellness for about a year it's helping me get through pain in my hip , back , and if I get stiff neck she's very efficient and knowledge about the body. She knows about how to heal it internally and it works inside out. She does Accupucture and I will admit I am scared of watching needles but you really get use to , breathe through it and it you feel it more when it comes out it's really not anything it's like hair brush going over your arm so not what I expected awesome to have Julia . She does massage too. She helps with all kinds of diseases and if you are struggling with pain she really helps sometimes I don't even need my cane. Thank you Pleasant Wellness. Thank you Julia.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you new to acupuncture? Here are answers to some of the most common questions about acupuncture that our new patients ask.

Acupuncture is considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner using sterile needles. There are however reports of mostly mild and short-term side effects such as:

  • Pain where the needles were inserted
  • Slight bleeding or bruising
  • Drowsiness
  • Feeling dizzy or faint

Millions of people receive acupuncture treatment every year, but the number of complications reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is relatively low.

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin. The majority of people report that they usually do not feel the needles going in or only feel a slight tingling at the puncture point.

An acupuncture session is usually a relaxing experience and many fall asleep during treatments.

Acupuncture is considered safe during pregnancy and many pregnant women seek it out to help with lower back pain, nausea, headache, insomnia, and other pregnancy-related issues.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into precise points on the body. Traditional Chinese medicine explains this through the balancing of Qi, while Western medicine believes acupuncture stimulates the nervous system and supports pain relief and relaxation.

In general, people experience a positive effect from acupuncture after 2–3 sessions. The number of sessions varies from person to person and depends on the disorder being treated.
