Whole-Person Care, One Point at a Time.
Acupuncture isn't alternative — it's one of the oldest and most evidence-backed therapies in the world.
What It Treats
More than you'd expect.
Pain Management
Back pain, migraines, joint pain, nerve pain, sciatica — evidence-based pain relief without medication.
Fertility Support
Hormone regulation, improved blood flow, reduced stress — often used alongside IVF and IUI protocols.
Stress & Anxiety
Nervous system regulation, cortisol reduction, and deep relaxation. Many patients report feeling calmer after one session.
Digestive Issues
IBS, bloating, nausea, constipation — acupuncture stimulates the gut-brain axis to restore normal function.
Insomnia & Sleep
Circadian rhythm support, nervous system calming, and melatonin regulation through targeted point protocols.
Women's Health
Menstrual irregularities, PMS, endometriosis, menopause symptoms, and hormone balance support.
How It Works
The science behind the needles.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is rooted in over 3,000 years of practice. TCM views the body as a network of energy pathways (meridians), and acupuncture restores balance by stimulating specific points along these pathways.
Modern science agrees
Research shows acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, reduces inflammation, increases blood flow, and triggers the release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving compounds. The WHO recognizes it for dozens of conditions.
What a session looks like
You'll lie comfortably while your physician places ultra-thin, sterile needles at precise points. Most patients feel deeply relaxed — many even fall asleep. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes.
Your Session
Consultation
Discuss your symptoms, health goals, and medical history.
Point Selection
Your physician selects precise acupuncture points based on your diagnosis and TCM assessment.
Needle Placement
Ultra-thin, sterile needles are placed at targeted points. Most patients feel little to no discomfort.
Rest & Heal
Relax for 20-30 minutes while the needles do their work. Many patients fall asleep.
Common Questions
Everything you want to know.
Most patients feel very little, no more than a slight prick. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, much thinner than injection needles. Many describe the sensation as a slight tingling or warmth. Most patients feel deeply relaxed during sessions, and it's common to fall asleep.
It depends on the condition, the general recommendation is once weekly sessions for 8-10 weeks, though some can experience relief sooner.
We do not accept insurance for visits. Acupuncture is paid at time of service, and we accept HSA/FSA cards. Superbills can be provided to present to insurance for reimbursement. Visit our pricing page for details.
Absolutely. Acupuncture works beautifully alongside naturopathic care, herbal medicine, and even conventional treatments like IVF. In fact, our integrative approach is what makes us different. For pain-related concerns, we often recommend pairing it with Emsculpt NEO to support a more comprehensive approach to care.
30 minute consult with one of our physicians as well as a 30 minute treatment based on your diagnosis and TCM pattern.
