 What is Restless Leg Syndrome?Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common neurological disorder characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. People with RLS typically experience these sensations in the late afternoon or evening, making it difficult to relax or fall asleep. The sensations can vary in intensity and often feel like crawling, tingling, or itching. This can lead to significant sleep disturbances and impact overall quality of life. How can Acupuncture help?Acupuncture is an effective method for managing the symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) by targeting specific points in the body. This practice promotes harmony and balance, which can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with RLS. Additionally, acupuncture enhances blood flow and improves circulation in the legs. It also assists in relaxing the muscles and relieving the tension that many patients with RLS experience. Furthermore, acupuncture can reduce stress levels, which often contribute to the condition. Dr. Zamora not only understands the challenges of RLS but also works to ensure that you feel heard and supported throughout your treatment journey.

 What is Hypertension?Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition characterized by consistently high pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries. There are two main types of hypertension. Primary (essential) hypertension is the most common type and develops gradually over many years without a specific cause. Secondary hypertension is caused by an underlying condition, such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or side effects from certain medications. High blood pressure is a serious condition that can lead to severe health complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision loss if left untreated. How can acupuncture help?Acupuncture can be beneficial for managing hypertension by reducing stress and anxiety, both of which are known contributors to high blood pressure. It may also enhance blood circulation. Additionally, acupuncture might influence the nervous system, leading to lower levels of stress hormones that can elevate blood pressure. It may also stimulate the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that promote relaxation and alleviate pain, further contributing to reduced blood pressure. Moreover, chronic inflammation can play a role in hypertension, and some studies suggest that acupuncture may help decrease inflammation in the body, thus supporting overall cardiovascular health. What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment?At Zamora Acupuncture, the acupuncture treatment for hypertension is designed to provide a soothing and holistic experience focused on your well-being. Your journey will begin with a thorough consultation with Dr. Zamora, D.Ac. During this session, she will discuss your health history and your specific experiences with hypertension. This information will enable her to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique health concerns. Following the initial consultation, you will lie down on a comfortable table while Dr. Zamora gently inserts needles at specific acupuncture points to help manage hypertension. You will then relax for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the needles to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. After the treatment, Dr. Zamora will discuss your experience and may offer recommendations for dietary or lifestyle changes to complement your treatment plan. Overall, an acupuncture session at Zamora Acupuncture aims to establish a holistic sense of balance and wellness, helping to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and enhance overall health. What are patients saying?“I’ve only been twice to acupuncture with Dr. Zamora but so far, I really like the practice. I think she’s very thorough. She listens and you never feel rushed in your session and I am looking forward to the benefits from future sessions at this practice. I would encourage anyone who’s having issues or problems to make an appointment with Dr. Zamora’s practice.” L.C. 4/3/2025 Contact Us:Take the first step towards a healthier you!
