Acupuncture
Restore Balance, Renew Vitality
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a foundational aspect of East Asian medicine and has been practiced for thousands of years. It may be used to relieve symptoms, support the body’s natural healing processes, and promote long-term wellness.
Rooted in the philosophy that the body has an innate ability to heal, East Asian medicine views symptoms—such as headaches, PMS, fatigue, insomnia, back pain, or anxiety—as signs of internal imbalance. Acupuncture is a holistic, natural approach that helps regulate the body’s systems, restore balance, and encourage optimal function. When the body is in balance, symptoms often resolve.
An acupuncture treatment involves the gentle placement of tiny, sterile needles at specific points on the body. These points lie along meridians—channels of energy that run throughout the body—and are selected with intention to stimulate healing. Treatment helps calm the nervous system, release endorphins, relieve pain and tension, and promote an overall sense of well-being and ease.
Feel better, naturally.
FAQs
Is Acupuncture painful?
Acupuncture is not usually painful.
You may feel new sensations when a needle is placed—such as heaviness, warmth, a dull ache, or a traveling sensation along the meridian. These are normal and often a sign that the point is activated. If anything feels sharp or uncomfortable, or the sensations are new and you aren’t sure if they are normal, let your practitioner know so they can make any necessary adjustments for your comfort.
Most people find treatments to be calming and restorative.
How many treatments will I need?
Acupuncture is not one-size-fits-all.
Each person receives an individualized treatment plan based on their health goals, current condition, and commitment to care. The number of sessions needed depends on the nature and severity of the concern, as well as how your body responds to treatment.

Are Acupuncture needles reused?
No—never.
Every needle used is brand new, sterile, and single-use. After each treatment, needles are safely disposed of in a medical sharps container. Your safety and hygiene are always top priority.
