Peninsula Acupuncture
Peninsula Acupuncture is known as the best alternative health care providers in the Mountain View and Los Altos, CA area. Our approach is to look beyond the symptoms and uncover their root cause. A combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine will help the cause of your symptoms. Watch this video to learn more about Dr. Ted and his approach to healing.

Ted Ray is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist and is the owner of Peninsula Acupuncture. Why We Feel Anxious Anxiety is a natural process experienced by almost every animal on earth. When something threatens our well-being, the stress response takes action and gives us the needed boost to get us out of harm's way-we call this the "fight or flight" system.
Services
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Many acupuncture points are below the knees and elbows, so they are easily accessible. Also, make sure you eat before your treatment and avoid vigorous exercise for 1-2 hours before and after treatment. Our treatment is extremely gentle and well-tolerated by even the most sensitive patients.
Over the counter medications don't really work! That's because they only mask the disease without addressing the underlying cause. Learn what you can do to prevent yourself from getting sick and get better quickly if you do get a cold or the flu. Introduction to Acupuncture. Ted Ray, L.Ac., LIcensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist in Mountain View, CA answers the first of five common questions about acupuncture: "Does Acupuncture Hurt?"
During our first session, we'll discuss any current complaints you're having, including any current or past medical conditions, and come up with an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. This initial consultation lasts about 45 minutes and is followed by an acupuncture treatment (30 minutes). Wear loose or comfortable clothing for easy access to acupuncture points below the knees and elbows.
Though we are not contracted with any insurance companies, we are happy to provide you with a specialized receipt ("Super-bill") for your insurance company that includes all the necessary information. We recommend you contact your insurance carrier to determine whether or not they will reimburse you for acupuncture care for "out-of-network providers."

Ted is a lifesaver!!! I had tried getting relief from my peri-menopause and hip pain for years. I was so frustrated with not having any luck or improvement with my regular practitioners, ibuprofen, massage therapy, or yoga stretches, I tried acupuncture. Wow! After my series of visits paired with an herbal prescription, my mobility greatly increased and the hip and menstrual pain is so minimal and infrequent. Plus, I rarely use ibuprofen anymore! With his love for & dedication to the art of acupuncture and his professionalism & down to earth nature, I highly recommend Ted for pain management. Thanks

My first experience was a really good one. They listened really well, explained everything and stepped me through the entire procedure. The whole thing was educational and quite relaxing.

What stood out most to me about Ted is that he took the time to understand what was going on with me and didn't rush to prescribe a treatment. He is a high-touch, personable doctor who takes pride in his work and truly cares for his patience. I will absolutely go back.

I first went to Ted with chronic migraines. Within six weeks, they were gone. That was almost 10 years ago! Since then, he’s helped me with Lowe back pain from my years of long distance running. We’ve worked on neck and shoulder pain. I am currently experiencing frozen should symptoms in my right shoulder and I have more mobility than I’ve had in months. I’ve also experienced relief from pre-menopausal symptoms. I can not recommend Ted highly enough.

Ted has always been great with his customer's needs and provides great service. He treated my carpal tunnel symptoms two years ago. I have been able to maintain it on my own through continuous use of the herbal ointment that he prescribed whenever I experience pain. It works magic! Thank you, Ted.
