Acupuncture.

How It Works

Acupuncture uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body. For many people it helps ease pain and muscle tension and brings a sense of calm. Each session is tailored to your symptoms and what you’re hoping to get out of it.

What a session looks like

• A calm, quiet space to help you unwind
• An in-depth intake to understand your symptoms
• Optional pulse and tongue assessment
• Gentle, nearly painless insertion of ultra-fine needles
• A rest period with warmth or quiet
• A recap and a few simple things to try at home

Reasons people come in

• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
• Tension headaches and migraines
• Sciatica and nerve-related pain
• Joint pain, including arthritis and repetitive strain
• Stress, low mood, and trouble sleeping
• Fatigue, and recovery after injury or surgery

Working alongside your care

If you’re on medication, recovering from an injury, or managing an ongoing condition, I’ll adapt the approach and coordinate with the rest of your care so everything works together safely.

What to expect

Most people feel relaxed during and after a session, and many notice their pain and tension ease over a course of treatments. Responses vary from person to person, so we’ll track how you’re doing and adjust as we go.
