Acupuncture in Bellevue | SageMED

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional therapy that uses very thin needles placed at specific points on the body to support the body’s natural healing response. It is commonly used to help regulate stress, improve circulation, reduce tension, and support overall function.

At SageMED, acupuncture is provided by Dr. Maiko Ochi, a dually licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist. Her approach combines traditional acupuncture principles with modern integrative care to create treatment plans that are personalized to each patient.
