What is acupuncture and what does it help with?
Acupuncture uses needles to direct blood flow and restore balance to the body - supporting its natural regulatory processes. Benefits can include pain relief, stress relief, a more balanced nervous system and hormones, bolstered immune responses, less inflammation, and more. It is just one modality within the larger paradigm of East Asian medicine. See our Treatment page for more information.
What is sports acupuncture?
Sports acupuncture is a specialty that aims to address injury, musculoskeletal concerns and pain, improve recovery, as well as enhance sports performance. See our Treatment page for more information.
What is the cancellation policy?
We require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice or miss their appointment will be charged a cancellation fee to the card on file that is equal to the cost of your visit. Please contact us to reschedule, cancel, or discuss any questions/concerns.
Do you take health insurance?
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO policies for acupuncture and also accept HSA/FSA funds. We can check your insurance coverage as a courtesy but cannot guarantee payment by your insurance company on your behalf. We will submit claims on your behalf and collect the patient's responsibility for rendered services thereafter.
What's included at an initial and return visit?
An initial visit will include time for discussion and assessment, as well as a full treatment. Return visits include time for quick assessment of the patient's response and treatment. Treatment may include acupuncture, electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture, gua sha, fire cupping, moxibustion, heat therapy, and/or herbal medicine prescriptions.
How long is an appointment?
New patients can expect their initial visit to be 90 minutes. Return patient visits will be 60 minutes.
Do we offer dry needling?
We do! Our licensed acupuncturists offer dry needling with a gentler needle technique and greater skill than most dry needle certified practitioners. More experience with needling and greater understanding of tissue health and dynamics leads to a better patient experience overall.
