Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to balance energy flow and stimulate healing. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by activating the body's natural healing mechanisms. Our practitioners use sterile, disposable needles in a relaxing environment to ensure optimal patient comfort and safety.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments by addressing internal imbalances and supporting organ function. These plant-based remedies, developed through centuries of traditional use, provide safe alternatives to pharmaceuticals without adverse side effects when properly administered by our certified practitioners.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans help patients optimize health through food choices that address individual needs. We educate on avoiding processed foods and emphasize whole-food diets to support healing processes and prevent chronic diseases through proper nourishment.
Moxibustion
This traditional technique uses mugwort herb to warm acupuncture points, improving circulation and reducing pain. Particularly effective for menstrual disorders and muscle tension, moxibustion enhances treatment outcomes by combining thermal stimulation with energetic balancing.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates therapeutic suction to release muscle tension and improve blood flow. This modality effectively treats chronic pain conditions by removing toxins and stimulating the lymphatic system while leaving temporary, harmless skin markings.

Report
I have been receiving acupuncture and wellness support from Monica for over ten years now. In addition to her expansive knowledge and expertise, she is highly intuitive and always seems to know just what I need. She has successfully assisted me in so many ways, including allergies, digestive issues, stress and anxiety, hormonal and reproductive support, as well as headaches. She has also supported me with healing herbs and diet/nutrition. I always leave her office feeling lighter, clearer, more relaxed and joyful, as well as a greater capacity to navigate life with ease. I absolutely would recommend

I have had ongoing sleep and fatigue issues over the last 20 years. I finally decided to try acupuncture, as I was out of other options. I chose two places. The first experience was not good - I actually felt worse. Then I saw Monica. From the very 1st treatment, I started feeling better. I mean MUCH better.
Monica is also big into functional medicine, and every single concept she has shared with me is making a difference. And we are just getting started. I HIGHLY recommend Scottsdale Acupuncture. I've done 3 sessions now and I'm having way more good days than I've had in years and years. Needless
