COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
Our COVID-19 Policies & Procedures
The COVID-19 pandemic has taught all of us so much. When the pandemic began, we here at East Lake Acupuncture moved quickly to implement safety measures in our clinic so you could continue to get the top-quality care you need. This includes vaccinated staff, reduction of the number of staff and patients onsite at any given time.
We’re proud of how we’ve responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. And we look forward to providing safe, excellent care in the months and years ahead.
COVID-19 Restrictions
- Anyone entering East Lake Acupuncture must wear a proper mask at all times. Masks must fully cover the nose and mouth. Homemade masks, bandanas, or shirts are not adequate. Masks will be provided for those who do not have one, or who are wearing homemade or inadequate masks.
- At this time, companions and guests of adult patients will be asked to wait in their vehicle unless the patient requires assistance with mobility or communication. The companion may be asked to wait in their vehicle once the patient is settled. This will be determined by the provider on a case-by case basis. Companions must be cleared by management prior to the visit. This is for the safety of all.
- Exceptions: If the patient is a minor they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who must remain in the room at all times. Only ONE parent/guardian is allowed in.
- Please do not enter this facility if you have had COV ID-19 symptoms in the past 24 hours or exposures or a positive test in the last 14 days.
Our Cleaning Protocols
We’ve increased our surface cleaning, disinfection and safety protocols, in addition to our regular rigorous cleaning standards. This includes doors, lobbies, restrooms, waiting rooms, appointment rooms, furniture, vents, equipment and many more public and private spaces, frequently throughout the day. We’re going above and beyond to make sure every surface, seat, high-touch and high-traffic area is hygienic and ready for you when you come to visit us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Have To Wear A Mask During A Massage Or Acupuncture?
As of 08/20/2021 masks are optional for the face-down portion of the massage but required for the face up portion even if you are vaccinated. Masks are required during acupuncture.
I'm Vaccinated, Do I Still Need To Wear A Mask?
There are no exceptions. No one is allowed to enter without a mask.
What if I Can't Wear a Mask?
There are no exceptions. No one is allowed to enter without a mask. Acupuncture is a non-emergency, elective procedure. We are happy to reschedule sessions for patients who feel they are unable or unwilling to follow social-distancing protocols, to a time when we no longer need to have these protocols in place.
What If I have a Card Stating I am Exempt From Wearing a Mask?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not provide blanket protections that allow people to assert they can't wear a mask. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, having a medical condition doesn't give anyone a pass to not wear a mask if a business requires it. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a statement calling these cards fraudulent.
ACUPUNCTURE IN ACTION
Experiencing extreme physical and/or mental exhaustion?
Treatment Options Are Available For Fatigue and Mental Exhaustion
Whether you are feeling burnt out, are recovering from illness or injury, have post coronavirus, or post COVID-19 vaccination fatigue, we may be able to help you feel like yourself again.
Acupuncture For Fatigue and Immune Support
Acupuncture relieves cancer chemotherapy fatigue, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and general low energy. Crippling and long-lasting fatigue is one the most common side-effects of chemotherapy. Numerous trials have shown that acupuncture appears to work for a variety of conditions, including fatigue.
Studies have shown that regular acupuncture treatments are effective in reducing the severity of fatigue and stress experienced by CFS patients. Researchers attribute the improvements to elevated levels of endorphins, which in turn help increase white blood cell counts, leading to improved immunity.
B12 Shots For Energy
Vitamin B12 plays a key role in how your body creates energy. It keeps your cells fed, happy, and healthy. Without it, your cells get hungry and you feel weak, tired, and like you’re dragging all the time. Vitamin B12 Injections are available here.
Symptoms of low B12 include, but are not limited to: Forgetfulness, weakness and fatigue (feeling run down) irritability, numbness/tingling/pins & needles in the extremities, dizziness, breathlessness, and more. Vitamin B12 is a not a cure-all and will only provide an "energy boost" if your fatigue is the result of low Vitamin B12. Lab work to check B12 levels is recommended.

Treating Fatigue using Traditional Chinese Medicine
There are many possible causes for feeling fatigued, ranging from dehydration to medication side effects. A TCM evaluation is designed to help identify the root cause of a condition. For some, this is a simple process with a simple solution. However, the average person has a number of health concerns occurring simultaneously. Western medicine frequently views each symptom as it's own condition, each requiring its own medication. In TCM, we look for patterns that connect symptoms together, in an effort to identify a common, underlying cause. From there, we move forward to treat the symptoms while simultaneously addressing the root cause to restore health and balance. Treatment typically consists of a combination of herbs, supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes, and acupuncture. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs.
