My name is Dr. Rachel Israel. I am a Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine based in Tempe, AZ.

My work focuses on whole-system care— supporting the nervous system, easing pain and stress, and helping people feel more regulated and resilient in their bodies.

This medicine found me first as a patient.
Now I practice this medicine to support healing that is thoughtful, individualized, and meaningful.

Outside the treatment room, I’m deeply interested in movement, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. My background in yoga and body-based practices shapes how I work— allowing me to treat with intuition, presence, and compassion for the whole person.

🌿 Did you know acupuncture has been practiced for over 2,500 years?

✨ Its roots trace back to ancient China, with the first written record in the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Classic, ~200 BCE).
🪨 Archaeological finds even suggest stone needles were used as early as 6000 BCE!

Acupuncture evolved through dynasties (and centuries!), blending Daoist philosophy, clinical observation, and medical innovation.

Fast forward 👉 acupuncture spread globally, recognized not just as a cultural treasure but also as a scientifically studied therapy for pain relief, stress, fertility, digestion, and more. 🌎✨

🔬 Acupuncture & Back Pain: What the Science Says

Research shows acupuncture can reduce chronic low back pain through multiple mechanisms:
🧠 Neurochemical: Stimulates release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine → natural pain modulation.
⚡ Neurological: Alters pain transmission (“gate control” effect) → fewer pain signals reach the brain.
💉 Local effects: Increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and relaxes paraspinal muscles.
🌐 Systemic: Regulates autonomic nervous system → shifts from sympathetic (“fight-or-flight”) to parasympathetic (“rest-and-digest”).

📚 Evidence: Multiple high-quality trials and systematic reviews show acupuncture can reduce chronic low back pain better than no treatment or standard care alone.

🔥 Ever tried fire cupping? 🔥

This ancient therapy uses heated glass cups to create suction on the skin — and the benefits might surprise you:
✨ Relieves muscle tension & pain
✨ Boosts circulation
✨ Reduces inflammation
✨ Supports relaxation & stress relief
✨ Promotes healing & recovery
✨ Detoxification and lymphatic support

Those circular marks? Not bruises — just signs of increased blood flow that usually fade in a few days.

Would you try it? 👀💆‍♀️

🧬 How does acupuncture really work? 🧬

Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years, but modern research is shedding light on what’s happening in the body when needles go in.

📍 Nerve stimulation – Needles activate sensory nerves under the skin and in muscles. This signals the brain to release endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers) and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
📍 Pain modulation – The nervous system adjusts how pain signals are processed, lowering the intensity of discomfort.
📍 Improved circulation – Local blood flow increases, helping reduce inflammation and speed up healing.
📍Neurological effects – Imaging studies show changes in regions of the brain linked to pain, stress, and emotional regulation.

👉 That’s why acupuncture isn’t just “placebo” — it’s been shown effective for chronic pain, migraines, osteoarthritis, nausea, and stress-related issues.

Ancient practice, modern neuroscience. Real results.🧠✨
