Acupuncture is a treatment modality that arose out of the medical practices of traditional East Asian medicine and has been recognized by the National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization as a safe and effective way to treat many symptoms with minimal side effects.
Using superfine, single-use, disposable needles, acupuncture treats symptoms ranging from low back pain and arthritis to migraine and insomnia by encouraging your body to correct imbalances on its own. Because of its influence not just on muscles and connective tissue but also hormones and neurotransmitters, acupuncture therapy is able to provide a broad spectrum of relief on a systemic level for a wide variety of conditions.
We would love to speak with you to help determine if acupuncture could offer you relief from your symptoms. Call us today at 215-348-7393.

What can I expect on my first treatment?
You may want to arrive about 15 minutes before your appointment to fill out our paperwork, or you can fill it out online by following the link in your appointment confirmation email.
During your first appointment, your practitioner will ask you about your health and will perform a treatment in a treatment room all to yourself. Your first treatment may include acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, cupping, heat therapy, or other modalities depending upon your needs.
Many people ask what the acupuncture needles feel like. Different people have different experiences: some people feel a heaviness when needled, some feel warmth or coolness, some feel a dull ache, and some feel absolutely nothing. These sensations fade rapidly and most patients experience a soothing, relaxing feeling for the duration of the treatment. (Many people fall asleep!)
Make sure you’ve eaten within an hour or two before your acupuncture session; some people can feel dizzy after the treatment and eating helps reduce this.
Wear loose-fitting clothes that make it easy to expose your forearms, lower legs, and abdomen.
