Our acupuncturist partners with doctors and therapists to devise a complementary, holistic plan that keeps you off pain medicine and the operating table. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pain results from blocked energetic pathways. When your body experiences injury or stress, these paths are unbalanced, blood flow weakens, and pain blooms. We counter these symptoms, and more, to revitalize your entire body. We stimulate your circulation and qi (the life force) by inserting very thin needles into specific meridians, or energy pathways. Acupuncture restores your musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and circulation systems, and hastens recovery from injury by encouraging your body’s natural healing process. You feel calmer, more clear-headed, and healthier. Get back to what you love doing, without pain. Your Visit We start with a thorough exam and history of your organ systems and past injuries. We also review notes from your other UWC sessions. Once we’ve identified your treatment focus, we place sterile, disposable needles to move qi around your body’s energetic paths. Don’t worry, the needles are extremely fine—you won’t feel a sting. In addition to acupuncture, we offer Chinese herbal supplements. Together, these will prompt your body’s own self-healing mechanisms, so you feel better from the inside out. Other Services Yoga Therapy Cupping Therapy NormaTec Compression Therapy
