Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves precise insertion of sterile needles at specific points to regulate qi flow. This ancient practice effectively treats chronic pain, migraines, and emotional disorders by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. Our practitioners use disposable stainless steel needles for safe, personalized treatment sessions lasting 15-40 minutes.
Chinese Herbs
Customized herbal formulations address specific health concerns with minimal side effects. Our pharmacopoeia includes time-tested remedies for digestive issues, respiratory conditions, and hormonal imbalances. Each prescription is tailored to individual constitution and health goals, complementing acupuncture treatments for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
Fire Cupping
Fire cupping creates therapeutic suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. This technique effectively treats back pain, respiratory conditions, and post-injury recovery by promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes with visible results after initial treatments.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to specific acupuncture points. This warming technique enhances qi circulation, alleviates joint pain, and improves digestive function. Particularly effective for cold-related conditions and chronic pain management through natural thermal stimulation.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture combines traditional needling with low-voltage electrical stimulation. This advanced technique accelerates tissue healing and reduces inflammation more effectively than manual acupuncture alone. Particularly beneficial for neurological conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain management through enhanced neural pathway activation.

I received a gift certificate for Livermore Acupuncture & Herbal Clinic because a friend of mine swears by acupuncture healing and knew how much pain I was in. I have (had) bad sciatica nerve pain to the point that I couldn't walk or stand for long periods of time. I went through therapy which would help for a couple of hours after but the pain always returned. After all other options, including chiropractic care, I finally used my gift certificate. I wish I would have done it sooner! Vincent is fantastic! Honestly after the very first session, I felt better and within a few sessions

I have had really bad TMJ for years now. I have tried massages, exercises, ibuprofen, night guards, and so much more but none of it ever really relieved the pain. I was nervous about acupuncture but I was willing to try something new to help. Vincent Xie is so kind, he listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable and less nervous. After a few sessions my jaw has felt SO much better. I go in now every month or so to keep up with it so it doesn't get worse again, but it is definitely worth it. He is always so welcoming and communicates every step of what he's doing. I have learned

Vincent is a miracle worker! First I'll start by saying his clinic is clean, smells wonderful, and is very peaceful. The music always is very relaxing and the atmosphere is too. Vincent is soft spoken and professional and extremely knowledgable about his profession. I have seen him for various ailments along with simply immune system and energy boost. He has cured debilitating migraines for me, hormone imbalance, muscle pulls and nerves pinched, allergies that my husband has, and has given me overall well-being. Acupuncture is NOT painful! Don't be afraid of it. It promotes circulation

I've been coming to Vincent for about a month now, and I'm very pleased in coming here. Vincent is knowledgeable, caring, and listens to your concerns. I have been able to get the most relief here after many months of physical therapy and chiropractic care. The office isn't anything fancy but it's clean and always relaxes me. I would recommend to anyone!

I was most skeptical of trying acupuncture for treating my ailments. I was used to traditional western medicine, but when that failed me I decided to turn to acupuncture and I'm so glad that I did.
Vincent is amazing! When I had my first child, the epidural that was given to me at the hospital re-injured a 20-year old back problem. I was unable to lift my 3-month old son. I went to Livermore Acupuncture and Vincent was able to rid me of the pain and discomfort after 2-3 visits. I have gone back to see him for other pain and injury, and have had the same positive results. Not only is Livermore

Dr. Xie's treatments have been really helpful in alleviating my gastrointestinal issues. His treatments in alleviating my neck pain which I figured was just a new condition of advancing age were amazing.I saw continual improvement treatment after treatment. Dr. Xie is knowledgeable, professional as well as personable.

For 20 years I have used Chiropractic to reduce pain in my lower back. It never seemed to work. My back doctor recommended Vincent. Results are spectacular. I would highly recommend him for lower back issues!
