person with acupuncture needles in shoulderAcupuncture is a holistic way to help restore the body’s natural balance and energy. With many therapeutic benefits, it can also be a useful tool for relaxation. Most patients find that acupuncture is calming and healing, and a great overall addition to your natural self-care regimen.

Acupuncture can also be a great addition to a chiropractic care routine as addressing soft tissue ailments can greatly help with decreasing inflammation and pain.

How It Helps

Acupuncture is an important part of a well-functioning physical and mental health regimen. Our doctors often recommend the modality for patients with muscle tissue issues, but it can also help with much more than structural issues. There are many ways that acupuncture can address your problems, so determining your issues during the consultation is an important piece of the process.

Focused sessions can be great for restoring balance, reenergizing, and relaxation, but can also be a practical and natural solution for the following ailments:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Knee pain
  • Tennis elbow
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Neck & shoulder pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Sleep issues
  • Sinus problems
  • Sinus infections
  • Allergies
  • And more!

Your first visit is a consultation, so all of your questions and concerns will be addressed prior to your first session. At your consultation, we like to get a good grasp on your issues and symptoms and determine together if you are a good candidate for acupuncture. If you choose to continue care, your following sessions will typically last about 30 minutes.

The process of your session will be dependent on your specific concerns, so we will recommend pre-care and clothing guidelines during your consultation. Once you arrive, our setting is private, warm, and comfortable. We spend about twenty minutes placing needles, and when they are removed, your session is complete.

Our patients use acupuncture as a standalone service or as an addition to their chiropractic care routine. Wherever you are on your health and wellness journey, we will meet you there and adapt to your needs and circumstances.

It is important to take good care of your body after your session. Acupuncture can help release toxins that have built up in your tissue, and you can help your system flush those toxins out by drinking lots of water. After your session, your practitioner will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, recommendations, and what to expect. Your visits with us should not affect your ability to work, work out, or live your normal daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is acupuncture and how does it work?

Acupuncture involves inserting very thin needles at specific points on the body to help reduce muscle tension, calm inflammation, and support the body’s natural balance. It’s often used alongside chiropractic care for more complete pain relief.

Is acupuncture painful?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort. The needles used are extremely thin, and many people describe the sensation as a light tap or a subtle pressure rather than pain.

What conditions can acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture is commonly used for chronic pain, stress, muscle tension, headaches, and inflammation. It pairs especially well with chiropractic adjustments to support recovery and long-term wellness.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

This depends on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Some patients notice relief after just one or two sessions, while others benefit from an ongoing plan as part of ongoing wellness care.

Is acupuncture available at both the Aurora and Naperville offices?

Yes. Acupuncture is offered at both locations as part of our expanded wellness services, alongside chiropractic, massage, and nutrition support.
