Acupuncture Near You

Think of acupuncture as a way to gently guide your body back into balance. We place very fine, sterile needles at specific points to activate your body’s natural healing process. It’s been used for thousands of years and is known for being deeply relaxing.

There are two ways to look at it. In traditional Chinese medicine, it improves the flow of energy—or “Qi”—through the body. From a modern medical standpoint, it stimulates your nervous system, increases circulation, and triggers the release of natural pain-relieving and feel-good chemicals.

It really depends on you and your condition. Some people feel a shift right after the first session. For others, it’s more gradual over several treatments. Factors like how long you’ve had the issue and its severity can make a difference.

Most people are surprised by how comfortable it is. The needles are as thin as a human hair, and you might feel a light tap, tingling, or warmth. Many patients even fall asleep during their sessions.

Some insurance plans do cover prenatal acupuncture, but it varies depending on your provider and policy. We’re in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and AllWays/Mass General Brigham. For other providers, we’re happy to give you a superbill to submit for reimbursement and can help guide you through the process.
