Acupuncture uses a sterile, stainless steel needle (pin) to access strategic points on the body. This activates blood flow, communicates with the nervous system, and relaxes muscles to treat a wide variety of medical conditions — from pain and inflammation to stress and hormonal imbalance.

Your first visit includes a thorough in-office assessment of your health history and current symptoms, followed by an acupuncture treatment during the same appointment. We want you to leave having already begun your journey toward relief.

First appointments are generally one hour to allow time for a comprehensive intake and initial treatment. Follow-up appointments are approximately 45 minutes.

We are glad to verify whether your insurance plan covers acupuncture as a medical service. Please contact the office with your insurance card and license for verification. We'll follow up with you as soon as we have confirmation.

Comfortable, loose clothing is best. If a treatment area needs to be accessed, you will be draped appropriately and your privacy will be respected at all times.
