Your first visit at ilumina includes a comprehensive evaluation and development of a customized treatment plan which will be clearly explained to you. Your plan may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, vitamins and supplements, heat therapy/ moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, and lifestyle and nutrition advice.
The ilumina acupuncture experience is nourishing and calming from start to finish. Upon being warmly greeted by our receptionist you can take a minute and start relaxing in our inviting and peaceful lobby. We value your time and our intention is to be punctual so it won't be long for your practitioner to take you back into one of our quiet individual treatment rooms where confidentiality is respected. The warm environment and elegantly illuminated room creates the optimal acupuncture experience. Our acupuncture practitioners are highly skilled in the balance of gentle insertion with optimal results promoting physical, emotional, and energetic harmony. Encompassed in East Asian medicine is the highly advanced skill of crafting customized herbal formulas. Our clinic houses one of the largest herbal pharmacies with over 300 Chinese herbs. Our practitioners are formally educated and experienced to write custom herbal formulas, a skill that most Acupuncturists in Arizona do not possess. When indicated, these herbal formulas are precisely tailored to your healing process and prepared onsite so that you can go home with your herbs and start treatment that day.

Acupuncture and East Asian medicine can be used for a wide range of acute and chronic pelvic pain conditions. There are a lot of causes for pelvic pain and our patients sometimes have received a biomedical diagnosis and sometimes it is undiagnosed. Our approach is to do do a thorough evaluation accessing not only the history and current symptoms of your pain and the acupuncture meridian systems involved but also investigating your constitutional imbalance. By creating a treatment plan addressing not only the pain but the energetic imbalance that accompanies it, we are able to get effective and long lasting results for pain due to structural and hormonal imbalances, pregnancy and birth, muscular tension, scar tissue and endometriosis.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome or (PCOS) is a spectrum disorder that can manifest in different combinations in different women. A strength of East Asian medicine is evaluating each person individually and treating the root issues uniquely. Common manifestations such as irregular cycles, amenorrhea, infertility, weight gain, hair loss, excessive hair growth, acne, depression and anxiety, blood sugar disorders, and hormonal imbalance can all be addressed through acupuncture, herbal formulas, diet, lifestyle changes, and stress reduction.
