What a visit looks like
Visits focus on where it hurts and what limits you. Treatment may pair acupuncture with cupping, dry needling, or acupressure, and we talk through realistic goals for getting back to the activity you care about. New or severe injuries should be evaluated by a physician first.

Questions
Can I come in right after an injury?
For a new or severe injury, see a physician first to rule out anything that needs urgent care. Once you have been evaluated, acupuncture can be considered as supportive care.
Does acupuncture replace medical care?
No. Acupuncture is supportive care and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Please keep working with your doctor and tell us about your diagnoses, medications, and supplements.
Do you take insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan and the service, so we can't confirm it on this website. Call us before your visit and we will help you check whether your plan applies. Please have your insurance card handy. Coverage varies by plan and service. Call to verify your benefits before booking.
