About Us

---

Better Balance Acupuncture & Herbs is a patient-focused acupuncture and herbal medicine clinic in Sacramento, California.

We’ve moved into the former chiropractic office at 7200 S Land Park Drive, Suite 200—so returning patients will find the same convenient parking and familiar setting, now refreshed for natural healing. Our location right next to an Urgent Care center also makes us the perfect next step for long-term relief after a quick medical visit.

About Me

Xiao Yu Huang L.Ac, and I am a California-licensed acupuncturist certified by the California Acupuncture Board. I earned my Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM) from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences (ACCHS) in Oakland, CA, completing four years of comprehensive medical training in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and integrative Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I completed two years of clinical internship at the ACCHS community clinic, treating patients under experienced practitioners such as Dr. Artiles and Dr. Su. From 2023 to 2025, I practiced in Vacaville, gaining extensive experience in pain management, women’s health, hormonal balance, digestive health, stress-related conditions, and more.

I am also a Certified Acupuncture Sports Medicine Practitioner, trained under Dr. Anthony Von Der Muhll, a nationally respected expert in orthopedic and sports acupuncture.

My approach combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern knowledge to provide gentle, effective, and personalized care for every patient.

Every treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to your needs and provided in a calming, therapeutic space designed for deep rest and healing. You’ll receive compassionate, goal-focused care that meets you exactly where you are and supports your journey toward better balance every day.

Call us or book your appointment online anytime to schedule your visit. Each new patient visit includes a comprehensive consultation and personalized acupuncture treatment.

We look forward to helping you restore your better balance—naturally.
