At Box Acupuncture, your care begins with a focused consultation or clinical evaluation—designed to understand your unique needs and create a treatment plan that gets real results.

Whether you're seeking help for a new injury, chronic condition, or general health concern, our evaluations are comprehensive, collaborative, and tailored to identify the root causes—not just symptoms.

Some insurance panels require us to have a separate evaluation from treatment.

This category also includes herbal consultations if you're interested in purely Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine.

Following guidelines set forth by the majority of in-network health insurance plans, choose this option if you are experiencing:

Covered Conditions are limited to musculoskeletal conditions and pain syndromes:

Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome defined: Conditions with associated musculoskeletal signs and symptoms related to a sensation of hurting or strong discomfort caused by an injury, illness, disease, functional disorder, or condition. Musculoskeletal Pain disorders are typically categorized as structural, degenerative or inflammatory disorders, or biomechanical dysfunction of the joints of the body and/or related components of the neuromusculoskeletal system (muscles, tendons, fascia, nerves, ligaments/capsules, discs, and synovial structures) and related neurological manifestations or conditions.

In order for us to properly bill your health insurance plan, we must follow your plans' guidelines. If you are experiencing any condition not related to the above, then choose the non-insurance acupuncture options.

When it comes to your health, insurance shouldn’t dictate your results. At Box Acupuncture, our out-of-pocket model allows us to offer the highest level of personalized, uninterrupted care, designed around you, not billing codes.

Choosing to invest in private-pay acupuncture means:

✅ More Time With Your Provider
No rushed 15-minute slots or shared visits. Our sessions are 45–75 minutes of dedicated one-on-one time, every single time.

✅ Personalized, Not Protocol-Driven
Insurance-based acupuncture often follows rigid templates. We customize every treatment based on how you're feeling that day—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

✅ Access to Advanced Modalities
From dry needling and electroacupuncture to myofascial cupping and red light therapy, our full toolbox is available to you, not just what insurance allows.

✅ Freedom to Treat the Whole You
We’re not limited by symptom-based diagnosis codes. We treat root causes, patterns, and preventative health—not just what’s “billable.”

✅ Consistency & Continuity of Care
No surprise denials, limited visits, or network barriers. You’re in control of your care plan—and you never have to stop mid-progress because of insurance limits.

Please consider this option if you need more one-on-one time or want to invest in your health without the oversight of health insurance.

All treatments are FSA/HSA eligible and we can create superbills for reimbursement.

Trigger Point Acupuncture & Dry Needling Therapy

Dry Needling and Trigger Point Acupuncture are advanced, evidence-based techniques that target muscular pain and dysfunction at its source—the myofascial trigger point. Using very fine, sterile needles (acupuncture needles), we stimulate tight, irritable bands of muscle—called trigger points—to release deep tension, restore normal muscle function, and reduce pain. The needle is inserted dire... Read More

Dry Needling and Trigger Point Acupuncture are advanced, evidence-based techniques that target muscular pain and dysfunction at its source—the myofascial trigger point.

Using very fine, sterile needles (acupuncture needles), we stimulate tight, irritable bands of muscle—called trigger points—to release deep tension, restore normal muscle function, and reduce pain. The needle is inserted directly into the muscle knot, causing a localized twitch response that leads to immediate improvement in mobility, circulation, and pain relief.

At Box Acupuncture, Dr. Aaron is certified in both Western orthopedic dry needling (Myopain Seminars) and Traditional Chinese Medical trigger point techniques, allowing for a fully integrative and tailored treatment approach.

Myofascial Cupping Therapy

Myofascial Cupping Therapy is a modern, evidence-informed adaptation of Traditional Chinese Medicine cupping. This technique is used therapeutically to target fascia, trigger points, and muscular adhesions—making it ideal for pain relief, athletic recovery, and improved mobility. Using fire-based glass cupping or plastic cups with adjustable suction, our practitioners gently lift the skin an... Read More

Myofascial Cupping Therapy is a modern, evidence-informed adaptation of Traditional Chinese Medicine cupping. This technique is used therapeutically to target fascia, trigger points, and muscular adhesions—making it ideal for pain relief, athletic recovery, and improved mobility.

Using fire-based glass cupping or plastic cups with adjustable suction, our practitioners gently lift the skin and fascia away from the muscle layer, promoting circulation, lymphatic drainage, and neuromuscular release. This decompressive effect allows tissue layers to glide more freely, accelerates healing, and relieves deep tension.

Medical Therapeutic Massage

Medical Therapeutic Massage is a targeted, outcome-based treatment designed to address specific musculoskeletal conditions, not just promote relaxation. Unlike spa or wellness massages, this form of massage is grounded in clinical anatomy and tailored to your pain patterns, postural imbalances, and recovery goals. Sessions are customized to each patient, integrating techniques like deep tiss... Read More

Medical Therapeutic Massage is a targeted, outcome-based treatment designed to address specific musculoskeletal conditions, not just promote relaxation. Unlike spa or wellness massages, this form of massage is grounded in clinical anatomy and tailored to your pain patterns, postural imbalances, and recovery goals.

Sessions are customized to each patient, integrating techniques like deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization, and neuromuscular re-education.

At Box Acupuncture, our massage therapists work closely with acupuncturists and health providers to ensure your care is coordinated and optimized for results.

Currently the only insurance that covers medical massage is Worker's Compensation through Homelink, Intercare, and Medrisk. However, FSA/HSA funds can be used towards any massage therapy used in our clinic as they're done in a medical setting. We can provide a superbill for your records and reimbursement.

Shannon Leu CMT

Shannon is an Advanced Neuromuscular Therapist with a decade of experience specializing in pain management. She is experienced with a wide variety of concerns such as fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, whiplash, TMJD, migraines and the dreaded shoulder/low-back combo many office workers suffer from. She’s also experienced in a wide variety of modalities such as trigger point therapy, sports massage, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, somatic therapy and cupping. Rather than focusing on one modality, Shannon utilizes all the tools in her tool belt to create a session personalized for every client every time. Years of experience working in pain management has taught her to meet each person where they are; acknowledging that we all have history and traumas surrounding our pain and that holding space is equally as important in the healing process.

She graduated from the National Holistic Institute’s Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy Program with honors, earned a Personal Training certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and holds a Pilates Mat I certification.

She previously had a thriving private practice in Sacramento before moving to the South Bay to be closer to family. Shannon is also passionate about exercise, hiking and fully taking advantage of rest days with a good book or video game.

Dr. Eric graduated from the University of California, Davis with a degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior with a minor in Asian American Studies.

The treatment style Dr. Eric practices heavily emphasizes a deeper understanding of wellness through a mind-body approach and seeks to balance both mental and physical aspects of his patient’s health. He specializes in treating patients with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trouble concentrating, and stress-related pain.

Dr. Sayaka Tanouchi
(She/Her/Hers)

Sayaka Tanouchi is a California Licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine whose path into healing began with a deep curiosity about the human body.

She originally trained as a scientist, earning a PhD in Engineering from Keio University in Japan, and spent many years working in medical engineering and clinical research.

Her journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine was shaped by a personal experience with infertility treatment. Through her experience, Sayaka realised that while evidence-based science provides strong clinical effects and reproducibility, it cannot yet fully capture the complexity of the human body.

TCM’s holistic approach often fills that gap, and she continually seeks to integrate both perspectives. In her practice, Sayaka uses a range of therapeutic tools, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, medical massage, and dietary and supplement advice.

Her clinical focus includes pain management, women’s health, fertility support, and emotional health, with each treatment thoughtfully tailored to the individual.

She integrates insights from Eastern medicine and Western medicine, aiming to offer patients clear, realistic guidance that supports motivation for lasting health. Outside the clinic, she enjoys winemaking, tea ceremony, sewing, and playing pickleball, which help her maintain balance and mindfulness in everyday life.
