What We Offer: Acupuncture Services
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Did you know that acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine? The main focus is on bringing balance and harmony back to your body. We use the needles to activate the different acupuncture points along your body's energy pathways, also known as meridians. Each acupuncture point has a different function and way of helping your body. Our TCM acupuncture sessions are here to help with all sorts of things - whether you're dealing with chronic pain, tummy troubles, or just feeling stressed out. We've got you covered!
Facial Acupuncture
You can think of facial acupuncture as a way to treat the body from the inside-out. We target the underlying causes of aging, dehydrated skin and skin sagging.
Facial acupuncture also boosts collagen production and gets your blood flowing better, helping smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and any puffiness, all while giving your skin that youthful glow!
Think of it as a gentler, more holistic way to refresh your look from the inside out, without going for those intense cosmetic procedures.
Five Element Acupuncture
Rooted in the ancient theory that our health is influenced by the natural elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. It focuses on treating all of you—not just your body, but also your mind and spirit. Pinpointing and fixing any imbalances in these elements helps you feel your best!
Auricular Acupuncture
Based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem reflecting the entire body, this method is super effective for tackling pain, kicking bad habits, and melting away stress. Looking to get rid of those pesky headaches, catch some quality Z's, or manage your weight? This could be the targeted, efficient approach you’re looking for.
How Our Holistic Healing Acupuncture Helps
We specialize in creating personalized treatment plans for conditions including, but not limited to:
Pain
Whether it’s from too much time at the desk, a sports injury, or a chronic condition, we get how tough it can be. Our treatments are here to help ease all sorts of pain – back, neck, joint, or even those nagging headaches.
Digestion
Digestive problems messing with your day-to-day?
By focusing on certain acupoints, we can get your digestive system back on track, ease inflammation, and make your gut happier. Highly effective for managing both usual tummy troubles and chronic conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), and more.
Autoimmune
Dealing with an autoimmune disease can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. We focus on getting to the bottom of what's causing it, aiming for relief that lasts. By also getting your body's immune response in check and toning down inflammation, we're here to help ease the symptoms linked to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
Stress
By focusing on specific points, we can help get your energy flowing right, making you feel more relaxed and less anxious. Whether it's work stress, personal stuff, or just the hustle and bustle of city life, we are your go-to place for some peace and calm.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?The number of sessions varies based on individual conditions and response to treatment. Typically, we recommend once to twice a week for 6 weeks before reassessing.
-
Does It Hurt?Acupuncture involves minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight prick upon needle insertion, followed by a brief sensation of dullness or tingling. The overall experience is deeply relaxing for most patients.
-
Do you reuse needles?Never! Every needle is sterile and single use. As soon as we take them out, they go straight into the sharps container and get properly disposed of.
-
Will it be covered by my insurance?It will depend on your insurance plan. Most major medical insurance companies have certain plans that cover acupuncture and some that don’t. There also might be some limitations on the number of treatments you’re allowed or the conditions that are covered. The best way to find out is to call your insurance company and ask if you have acupuncture covered under your specific plan.
