Acupuncturists used needles to stimulate points along the body’s meridian channels that have been studied for thousands of years. Accessing these meridians can help prevent and treat disease by unblocking the flow of qi (energy) in the body as well as releasing endorphins, hormones, and other chemicals that affect whole body health and wellness.

Customized care begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s condition which is used to determine the root cause of imbalance in the body. The needles are placed on the body according to the uniquely tailored treatment strategy developed for the individual to bring harmony and health back to the body. Needles are left in place for 20-25 minutes, during which many patients report a pleasant feeling of deep relaxation which continues when the treamtent is concluded.

Often the patient hardly notices the single use, sterile needles enter the body since they are as thin as a hair and applied precisely with specific depth and insertion angle. The patient may experience the arrival of the energy called “de qi” as a dull ache or electric sensation but that usually dissipates in less than a minute.

There are many modern studies showing the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating a variety of conditions including insomnia, chronic pain, neuropathy, fatigue, headaches, digestive problem, allergies, arthritis, as well as mental health concerns like stress, anxiety, and more. Best of all, a variety of concerns can be addressed at the same appointment as we resolve the root of the disharmony in the body!

Treatment with acupuncture can produce rapid results, however chronic conditions will require longer treatment. Patients are advised to begin their regime with treatment once a week then continuing bi-monthly or monthly for maintenance as conditions improve.

While direct billing not an option, patients may request a “superbill” to submit to insurance for reimbursement. HSA and FSA health savings account cards are accepted.
