Summit Health Group welcomes patients from Camarillo, Somis, Oxnard, and communities throughout Ventura County for professional acupuncture care. Our clinic in nearby Thousand Oaks is home to a licensed acupuncturist who draws on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help patients manage pain, lower stress, and support the body’s natural capacity to heal. Whether you are navigating a long-standing health concern or simply looking for a proactive approach to feeling your best, acupuncture can be a valuable part of your wellness plan.
Treatment begins with a careful assessment of your overall health. Your acupuncturist identifies areas of imbalance and applies fine, sterile needles to specific points that correspond to your symptoms and goals. This process encourages circulation, eases tension in the muscles and connective tissue, and helps regulate the body’s pain and stress responses. Camarillo patients frequently report improved comfort, better sleep, and a greater sense of calm after incorporating acupuncture into their care routine.
Targeted Relief That Works With Your Body, Not Against It
Life in Camarillo blends the best of coastal Ventura County with a quieter, community-centered pace. Residents stay active through gardening, walking, cycling, and spending time outdoors in the area’s mild climate. Over time, the physical demands of an active routine, long commutes, or the natural effects of aging can produce persistent discomfort that does not always respond to conventional treatment alone. Acupuncture addresses these concerns at their source, promoting recovery and resilience without pharmaceuticals or downtime.

Take a few moments to fill out a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current fitness level, and nutrition habits. The details you provide help us create a customized plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. This also gives our specialists insight into any specific challenges, allowing them to offer guidance that is both practical and effective.
During this session, our health experts review your questionnaire responses, discuss your health objectives, and develop a roadmap for your wellness journey. This is a collaborative effort where every question is addressed, and every concern is taken into account, ensuring a comprehensive and supportive experience.

Acupuncture is generally considered very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. Some patients experience mild, temporary effects such as slight soreness at needle sites, light bruising, or brief dizziness. These are uncommon and typically resolve quickly. Serious side effects are rare. Your acupuncturist will review your health history before treatment to ensure the session is tailored safely to your needs.
We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing and eating a light meal one to two hours before your session. Arriving a few minutes early allows time to settle in and complete any remaining paperwork. Avoid caffeine or alcohol immediately before treatment, as these can affect your body’s response. Any specific preparation instructions will be provided when you schedule your appointment.
A typical acupuncture session at Summit Health Group lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the treatment plan. Your first visit may run slightly longer to allow time for the initial health evaluation and discussion of your goals. Follow-up sessions are generally shorter once your treatment plan is established.
Yes. Acupuncture is a gentle, low-risk treatment that is well suited for patients of all ages, including older adults. Many seniors use acupuncture to manage joint discomfort, improve mobility, reduce reliance on pain medications, and support overall quality of life. Your acupuncturist will adjust needle placement and technique based on your individual comfort and health profile.
