Acupuncture therapy provides evidence-based, non-pharmacological  treatment for a variety of physical ailments.  It involves the insertion of ultra-thin needles into the skin at specific points on the body.  Acupuncture activates peripheral nerves and stimulates the central nervous system, triggering the release of the neurochemical messenger molecules—which cause a biochemical change in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain.

We specialize in chronic (long-term) and acute (sudden-onset) pain, stomach disorders, neuropathy, insomnia, and general anxiety, as well as mitigating the side effects (e.g., pain, nausea, and anxiety) of cancer treatments. 

Acupuncture is considered a safe treatment when performed by a licensed and trained practitioner using sterile needles. It is important to disclose any medical conditions or medications you are taking to your practitioner before beginning treatment. We follow all cleaning and sterilization procedures in accordance with guidelines promulgated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

All of our new-patient forms are emailed to you directly. If you are unable to complete the forms online, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time and complete them in person.  If you need assistance, we will help!

You should bring you medication list (all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements that you currently take) and insurance card(s).

You should dress comfortably and eat on your normal schedule prior to your appointment. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your visit!

Acupuncture is known for having very few side effects, although some patients may experience very slight, brief bleeding or mild irritation at needle-insertion points.
