Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, most insurances don't cover acupuncture. Services are paid directly to our office. HSA & FSA are often used. We can provide you with a Superbill for reimbursement if your insurance does have benefits.

How does acupuncture work?

The science behind acupuncture

Acupuncture originated in China around 3,500 years ago and remains one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of healing in the world. These days, science can explain its effectiveness.

MRI readings demonstrate that acupuncture prompts observable changes in the brain
Thermal imaging reveals that acupuncture reduces inflammation
Stem cells are released into blood

Does acupuncture hurt?

You'll be happy to know that acupuncture needles are so thin, that people often report not feeling them go in at all. A dull ache around the insertion site, a slight tingling sensation, or a feeling of warmth are the most common descriptions of the sensations experienced by most acupuncture patients. These are all good signs that the body is responding to the treatment as it should.
