Personalized acupuncture for clients dealing with common musculoskeletal discomfort, physical tension and mobility-related concerns — the neck that stiffens by mid-afternoon, the lower back that protests after a long week, the shoulder that never quite loosens.
How Does It Work?
Your practitioner first evaluates the location, pattern and history of the discomfort, since where it hurts and where it originates are often different places. An individualized treatment plan follows, which may include traditional acupuncture along with cupping, gua sha, auricular points or electroacupuncture depending on your needs and the practitioner's approach.
Key Benefits
Targeted Assessment
The pattern and history of your discomfort are evaluated before points are selected, not after.
Multiple Techniques
Cupping, gua sha, auricular points or electroacupuncture may be combined with traditional needling where appropriate.
Movement in Mind
Treatment considers how you move and hold yourself, not only where the discomfort sits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by person and presentation. Your practitioner will suggest a rhythm after the first treatment and revise it based on how you respond.
Will you use cupping or electroacupuncture?
Possibly. These are offered when the assigned practitioner works with them and they suit your presentation. You will always be told beforehand.
Can I come in if I am already seeing a doctor or physical therapist?
Yes — acupuncture is used alongside medical and rehabilitative care, not in place of it. Let your practitioner know what other treatment you are receiving.
