Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that originated in China before 100 BCE. It is based on the concept of qi (“chi”)—the vital energy that flows through the body along meridian channels. When this energy becomes blocked or unbalanced, illness or pain can occur. By inserting fine needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncturists help restore the body’s natural balance and promote healing. Rooted in holistic care that considers diet, exercise, and lifestyle, acupuncture has evolved over centuries and is now widely practiced and regulated across much of the world.

What Can Acupuncture Help?

Acupuncture can help orthopedic conditions by reducing pain, relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and promoting faster healing of injured tissues. It can also restore flexibility, decrease inflammation, and support recovery from strains, sprains, joint pain, and chronic musculoskeletal issues.
Neurological Conditions
Acupuncture can help neurological conditions by reducing nerve pain, improving circulation, and promoting nerve repair and function. It can ease muscle spasticity, enhance coordination, and support recovery from stroke, neuropathy, Parkinson’s disease, and other nervous system disorders.
Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)
Acupuncture can help recovery from motor vehicle accident (MVA) injuries by relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing of soft tissues. It can address whiplash, back and neck pain, muscle strains, and joint stiffness, while improving mobility and supporting a faster, more comfortable recovery.

Acupuncture can help sports injuries by reducing pain, easing muscle tension, and improving blood flow to promote faster healing. It supports recovery from strains, sprains, tendonitis, and joint pain, while restoring flexibility, preventing further injury, and helping athletes return to peak performance more quickly.
General Health
Acupuncture can support internal and general health by improving digestion, regulating hormones, reducing stress and anxiety, and enhancing sleep quality. It can help manage conditions such as digestive disorders, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, headaches, and high blood pressure, promoting overall balance and well-being.

What Happens During a Session
Your first visit involves a thorough assessment of your medical history and current physical symptoms. The practitioner explains the treatment plan before any needles are used.
During the session, you rest comfortably while the practitioner places single-use needles in targeted areas. Needles typically remain in place for 15 to 30 minutes while you relax.
Safety and Single-Use Needles
Patient safety is a top priority at our clinic. We use only sterile, single-use, disposable needles to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
Practitioners follow strict hygiene and infection control standards during every appointment. You may feel a mild prick or a dull ache when a needle is inserted, which is a normal response.
Typical Treatment Plans
The number of sessions depends on your specific condition and how your body responds to treatment. Your clinician develops a customized schedule after your initial assessment.
| Presentation | Typical sessions | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Acute pain | 4-6 visits | 1-2 times per week |
| Chronic discomfort | 8-12 visits | 1 time per week |
