Genuine Clinical Care, Not a Novelty

Acupuncture at Joi Med isn’t an alternative therapy tacked onto a medical practice as an afterthought. It’s led by Dr. Hitomi Asano, who holds a doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She brings a genuinely evidence-based approach to a practice that blends Western and Eastern medicine for whole-person care.

Backed by Research and Clinical Experience

Using very fine needles placed at specific points, acupuncture at Joi Med supports pain management, stress, sleep, and general imbalance, working alongside conventional treatment rather than in place of it.

Dr. Asano’s background includes clinical work within a collaborative, evidence-based Integrative Health and Medicine department, and she’s a published researcher who co-authored a systematic review on acupuncture’s effectiveness for chronic low back pain.

Often Combined With Other Treatments

Because acupuncture sits right alongside our aesthetic and regenerative wellness services rather than being siloed off separately, many patients combine it with other treatments during the same visit.

That might be cosmetic acupuncture for skin support, or general wellness acupuncture as part of a broader plan involving bloodwork or hormone therapy.
