Acupuncture is one of the oldest specialized medical therapies, dating back over 3,000 years. It is part of the larger system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which also includes Chinese herbs, massage, movement and nutrition.

With the insertion of thin, sterile and disposable needles into the skin at specific points on the body, acupuncturists are able to stimulate and balance the flow of Qi, or energy. When Qi is blocked or not flowing smoothly through the body’s meridians, it can lead to pain, illness, and other health problems.

Used to treat a wide range of health conditions, acupuncture has been effective in alleviating chronic pain, headaches, menstrual cramps, infertility, digestive disorders, anxiety and depression, addiction, allergies, asthma, and high blood pressure. It is recognized throughout the world as a safe and effective form of medicine.

What to Expect

One on One private treatments give us a chance to slow down and work more closely. On the first visit you will sit with your practitioner to discuss your health history, your reasons for seeking acupuncture care, and your wellness goals. At this point a custom treatment plan will be designed for you.

Sessions are offered in a private room and on a comfortable massage table. Each treatment is unique. The acupuncturist may work on a variety of areas of the body based on the goals of treatment. In addition to acupuncture, treatment may include other therapies (including but not limited to moxibustion, cupping and gua sha.

After Your Visit

Patients walk out feeling relaxed and recharged and often later notice subtle changes in areas that may not have been the reason for coming. These “side effects,” i.e. improved sleep, reduced stress levels, improved immunity, are a welcome surprise.

The effectiveness will increase with frequency. Your initial treatments will only “hold” for 24-72 hours; your next visit will carry you a bit further. We cluster visits in the beginning (1-2 visit per week is common for the first few weeks of treatment) so you can begin to see results sooner.
