What Is an Acupuncture
Treatment Like?
Your first visit is a comprehensive health review. Our purpose is to connect the dots. Everything is connected, whether it is how your low back affects your hips and knees, or how digestion affects inflammation, immune function, allergies, or how your sleep and stress levels damage your mood and increase pain.
Your provider uses Chinese medicine as a tried-and-true organizational system to understand the root of the problem and create a strategy to help you reach your best possible health. We also pride ourselves on translating acupuncture and Chinese medicine into modern, scientific language that patients and providers can understand.
How Many
Visits?
Have you ever watched a professional athlete or musician perform effortlessly? That is because of muscle memory. That muscle memory comes from practice and training.
Just like those performers, we can develop muscle memories or habits that can cause pain, digestive problems, or sleeplessness. Those are bad muscle memories.
Acupuncture alters the electricity (ion balance) in your body that controls the:
- Muscular system
- Nervous system
- Endocrine system
- Cardiovascular system
- Respiratory system and
- Immune system
For many conditions, you should experience relief during your visit. And over a short period, we create physiological change so that relief stays longer and longer. That means the body develops better muscle memories so that you get better and stay better.
Don’t get us wrong. We do NOT want to see you all the time forever. Our goal is that you get better and feel the value of keeping up with your health. Then, you know when your body needs a tune-up. You can drop in once in a while and share your success with your friends and family because your referral is the best compliment.

Does Acupuncture
hurt?
First off, acupuncture is NOTHING even remotely close to getting a shot at the doctor’s office. That’s a big chunky needle, ours are the thickness of a hair. Honestly, most people either fall asleep or report feeling deeply relaxed. That is because we reset the electrical rhythms of your body. If you feel any sensations or even pain, it should last only a FRACTION of a second. It’s true there are clumsy nurses, doctors, and acupuncturists and sometimes it can hurt.
Our team of providers have provided over 30,000 acupuncture treatments. We treat people who are 8 months old to 88 years old. We are gentle and meet people where ever they are in life. We are pretty good at what we do and we know that when you relax, your nervous systems relaxes, and your body can heal quicker.
