Acupuncture
A thoughtful, whole-person approach rooted in East Asian medicine. Your first visit includes time to talk through what brings you in, followed by treatment shaped around you.
A place to begin
Your first visit starts with listening.
Consult & treatment
Begin with conversation, context and a first treatment so your practitioner can understand what you would like to support.
Follow-up care
Return visits continue from the conversation and treatment plan already established with your practitioner.
Part of the larger Chi picture
Acupuncture lives alongside massage, bodywork, movement and other holistic traditions within our collective.
Potential benefits
What this practice may offer.
- May help manage some types of pain, including back or neck pain and knee osteoarthritis pain
- May support function for some musculoskeletal conditions
- Some limited evidence suggests benefit for anxiety symptoms
What guests often describe
Many guests seek acupuncture because they value the combination of quiet rest, individualized attention and a tradition that approaches the body as an interconnected whole. People commonly describe feeling deeply relaxed after a session and may return because they perceive greater comfort, steadiness or ease.
What the research says
Evidence snapshot: Acupuncture has one of the stronger research bases among complementary approaches. Reviews cited by the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) report benefits for several pain conditions, while results vary by condition and some benefit may reflect nonspecific effects as well as needling. Evidence for anxiety is promising but lower quality.
