If you’re searching for a gentle, effective, and natural way to manage pain, reduce stress, and support whole-body wellness, acupuncture may be the perfect addition to your integrative care routine.

What Is Acupuncture?

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture supports your body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance without drugs or invasive procedures.

Acupuncture is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body. These points stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help regulate systems like digestion, hormones, and immunity.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by activating the body’s innate healing response. Each needle stimulates tiny receptors under the skin, encouraging the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals (like endorphins), improving blood flow, and calming the stress response.

It also helps restore balance to the body’s energy flow, or “Qi,” which plays a central role in how we process pain, emotions, and overall vitality.

Treatments are tailored to your individual health concerns, and many patients experience a deep sense of calm, focus, or well-being after a session.

What Can Acupuncture Help With?

  • Muscle tension, joint pain, and arthritis
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Anxiety, stress, and poor sleep
  • PMS, menstrual cramps, and menopause symptoms
  • Digestive concerns like bloating or nausea
  • Allergies, asthma, and immune system support
  • Fatigue or burnout
  • Fertility and reproductive support

While many people feel better after just one treatment, long-standing or chronic issues often respond best to a series of sessions spaced weekly or biweekly.

What To Expect During Treatment?

  • A licensed provider or supervised student clinician will complete a full intake and place fine, sterile needles at selected points
  • You’ll relax on a comfortable table for 20–30 minutes, often in a peaceful, meditative state
  • You may feel warmth, tingling, or a slight pulsing sensation, most people find it deeply relaxing
  • Afterward, you may feel calm, energized, or even lighter in mood

Acupuncture is safe for most people and has very few side effects when performed by trained professionals.
