Acupuncture that Treats the Root Cause

Acupuncture isn't about using more needles—it's about using the right ones.

Janet practices Classical Chinese Medicine with a "less is more" philosophy. Rather than using dozens of needles, she typically targets just 3-4 carefully selected points per session—chosen through muscle testing to determine exactly what your body needs in that moment.

Here's why this matters: you might come in for back pain, but the root cause could be related to your kidneys, stress response, or digestive system. Janet doesn't just treat where it hurts—she investigates why it hurts and addresses the underlying imbalance.

This is the power of Classical Chinese Medicine:

it sees the body as an interconnected whole, not isolated parts. Acupuncture restores the flow of Qi (your body's vital energy), clears blockages, and helps your system remember how to heal itself.

Whether you're dealing with pain, stress, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or chronic conditions, acupuncture creates lasting change—not just temporary relief.

Acupuncture supports the body's healing for a wide range of conditions:

    • Chronic pain (back, neck, joints)

    • Headaches and migraines

    • Arthritis and inflammation

    • Sports injuries

    • Muscle tension

    • Anxiety and overwhelm

    • Depression and mood imbalances

    • Insomnia and sleep issues

    • Emotional stress

    • PMS and menstrual irregularities

    • Menopause symptoms

    • Fertility support

    • Hot flashes

    • IBS and digestive discomfort

    • Bloating and constipation

    • Nausea

    • Low energy and fatigue

    • Immune system support

    • Seasonal allergies

    • High blood pressure

    • Recovery from illness or surgery

FAQs

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people feel little to nothing. You might feel a tiny pinch during insertion, then a sensation of warmth, tingling, or heaviness at the needle site—this is a good sign that the point is activated. Once the needles are in, most people relax deeply.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition. Acute issues (recent injury, sudden pain) may improve in 1-3 sessions. Chronic conditions often require 6-10 sessions for lasting change. Janet will discuss a treatment plan during your first visit.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. When performed by a trained, licensed practitioner like Janet, acupuncture is extremely safe. All needles are sterile, single-use, and disposable.

Can I do acupuncture if I'm afraid of needles?

Absolutely! Janet offers needle-free options like laser acupuncture, magnets, seeds, and acupressure. You get all the benefits without the needles.

What should I wear to my session?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Acupuncture points are often on the arms, legs, feet, and hands, so clothing that can be easily rolled up is ideal.
