Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Chiropuncturist?
A Chiropuncturist is a practitioner dually licensed in both chiropractic (DC) and acupuncture (LAc), trained to choose or combine whichever discipline treats a condition best in one visit. Dr. Danny Lai is the only dually-licensed Chiropuncturist of this kind in Ventura County.
What's the difference between chiropractic and acupuncture?
Chiropractic care physically frees a locked or restricted joint to restore motion and relieve nerve pressure. Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points to relieve pain and support the body’s own regulation. Dr. Lai generally uses chiropractic for back and neck pain, and acupuncture for digestive issues, anxiety, and insomnia.

Chiropuncture Inc. accepts a range of major insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Medicare, and others. Call the office to confirm your specific plan before your visit.
