What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old therapeutic technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), designed to restore balance to the body’s energy flow, or “Qi.” This practice involves the use of ultra-fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body, known as meridians, which are connected to organs and body systems.
Scientific research supports its effectiveness in improving overall health: studies have shown acupuncture can increase fertility rates, making it a valuable tool for those trying to conceive. It has also been found to release stem cells into the bloodstream, aiding in tissue repair and regeneration. Additionally, acupuncture enhances heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of nervous system health, and accelerates recovery time, as evidenced by data collected through devices like the Oura Ring.
By relieving pain, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, acupuncture is increasingly recognized in Western medicine as a powerful, evidence-based treatment for a wide range of conditions.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session
When you come to Wheeler Wellness, we start by conducting a thorough consultation to understand your health goals, medical history, and specific concerns. Our practitioners then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. During the acupuncture session, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table as we insert fine, sterile needles into specific points on your body. These needles are left in place for about 15-30 minutes, during which most patients experience a sense of deep relaxation.
We take every step to ensure your comfort and safety, using only single-use, sterile needles and maintaining a calm, supportive environment. After your session, you may feel a sense of tranquility, and over time, you’ll start to notice improvements in your health and well-being.
