Acupuncture is a time-tested healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and supported by modern research. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture helps restore balance, reduce pain, and promote overall wellness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, health is believed to depend on the smooth flow of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), throughout the body. Qi travels along pathways called meridians, which connect organs and systems.
When Qi becomes blocked or unbalanced, it may lead to discomfort, tension, or illness. Acupuncture works by gently stimulating specific points along these meridians to help restore the natural flow of energy and support the body’s ability to heal itself.
While this framework comes from ancient tradition, modern science is increasingly exploring how acupuncture influences the nervous system, circulation, and immune response.
Growing evidence suggests acupuncture may help:
Acupuncture has been shown to encourage the release of endorphins and other natural chemicals that reduce pain and improve mood. This makes it a popular option for conditions such as back pain, headaches, joint pain, and chronic tension.
Whether it’s your first session or you’re returning for continued care, our goal is to make your experience comfortable and reassuring.
Your initial appointment typically includes:
A detailed health consultation
Discussion of your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals
A personalized treatment plan
Your first acupuncture session
Treatments are tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re seeking pain relief, stress management, improved sleep, or overall wellness support.
Most sessions last between 45–60 minutes.
We use single-use, sterile, ultra-fine needles that are safely disposed of after each treatment. Acupuncture needles are much thinner than standard medical needles, and most people feel little to no discomfort during insertion.
Many patients describe the sensation as:
A light tingling
Gentle warmth
A mild pressure sensation
Or no noticeable feeling at all
Your comfort and safety are always our top priorities.
