Acupuncture in Pleasanton
for
Chronic Pain, Stress Relief & Women's Health
Thank you for being here. I'm Michelle Munoz, a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Licensed Acupuncturist based in Pleasanton, CA at Kin Medicine.
I offer personalized acupuncture treatments and my approach blends the clinical roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine with gentle care that supports the nervous system, reduces pain, and promotes overall well-being. Each treatment is individualized based on your symptoms and goals.
What Acupuncture Can Help With
Women's Health & Hormones
– PMS, painful periods, irregular cycles
– Hormonal imbalance, stress-related cycle changes
– Perimenopause & menopause support
Acupuncture helps regulate cycles, ease PMS discomfort, and support hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause by balancing the nervous and endocrine systems.
Pain Management & Musculoskeletal Tension
– Neck + shoulder pain
– Low back pain
– Knee pain
– Sciatica
– TMJ + jaw tension
​
Acupuncture helps improve circulation, relax tight muscles, and reduce inflammation that contributes to ongoing discomfort. I commonly work with neck and shoulder tension, low back pain, sciatica, jaw tension, and headaches, using a combination of acupuncture and supportive techniques to improve mobility and ease pain.
Nervous System & Emotional Health
– Stress, anxiety, overwhelm
– Burnout, insomnia
– Emotional health, stress regulation
​
Acupuncture supports the nervous system by helping the body shift out of a chronic stress response and into a more regulated state. Many patients seek care for anxiety, overwhelm, poor sleep, or burnout.
Every treatment is personalized based on your symptoms, cycles, stress levels, and TCM patterns.
"My stress, back pain, and menstrual discomfort were constant struggles. Before finding Michelle, I tried everything, but nothing gave me lasting relief. Then, after my first session, I walked out feeling lighter, almost like a weight had been lifted off my body. Michelle has the softest touch and the kindest, most compassionate demeanor. Every session with her feels like a reset for my body. She listens attentively, remembers the little details, and she adjusts her approach based on how I'm feeling that day."
