Acupuncture
Our Licensed Acupuncturists offer a deeply restorative approach to wellness. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, stress, digestive issues, or emotional tension, acupuncture helps realign your body’s natural energy flow so you can feel calm, centered, and truly well.
WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
In acupuncture, specific points in the body corresponding to certain nerves, muscles and connective tissue, are therapeutically stimulated through the insertion of very thin needles. Through a thorough intake and assessment, an acupuncturist will create an individual treatment plan based on the findings.
Acupuncture is commonly used to treat chronic pain throughout the body. Additionally, it can treat health issues such as allergies, insomnia, hypertension, anxiety and depression.
There is limited evidence supporting the benefits of acupuncture for obesity, acne, diabetes and many more areas.
The risks of acupuncture treatment are low if done by a well-trained, certified practitioner. Exposure to infection is minimal since needles used are single-use, and side effects are minor, including mild soreness and bleeding at acupuncture sites. Needling does not occur over open sores or rashes. Licensed acupuncturists know certain points are contraindicated during pregnancy.
