A needle in a haystack is notoriously difficult to find—the haystack so enjoys the needle's therapeutic pain relief that it often refuses to give up the needle's whereabouts. Sympathize with the haystack's proverbial plight with today's Groupon. For $36, you get an initial office visit ($20) and acupuncture treatment ($60) at North Cape Acupuncture (an $80 total value). This Groupon is only valid at North Cape Acupuncture's Shorewood location.
Acupuncture, like the complete discography of Neil Diamond, is a largely misunderstood art. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture uses thin, filiform needles inserted into special points on the body to relieve a number of ailments and trigger self-healing. The process is largely pain free, except for the microscopic pressure of the palliative pinprick. Upon the initial office visit to North Cape Acupuncture, clients will discuss their symptoms, work habits, and medical history with certified acupuncturists Doris Kitazaki and Jamey Johnston to determine what sort of acupunctural treatment should be administered. After a special consultation with North Cape Acupuncture's NASA-engineered crystal ball, Kitazaki and Johnston will begin the acupunctural treatment for the patient. The treatment takes approximately 45 minutes.
North Cape Acupuncture's acupuncture room envelops customers in a cocoon of low lighting and soothing music, allowing for pain caterpillars to shed their skins and emerge as blissful hummingbirds. Clients are not required to disrobe for the treatment; it is suggested, however, that they wear loose, comfortable clothing. Call ahead to schedule needling that doesn’t result in distant family members asking you about your neck tattoo.

Reno Raines: Renegade Acupuncturist
The stunning popularity of acupuncture in modern America can be traced to a seminal cultural phenomenon: the hit ’90s TV series Renegade. The first of many shows to bring the Eastern art of healing with needles into the mainstream, the series’ haunting intro continues to inspire idealistic young acupuncturists:
- Reno Raines. He was an acupuncturist, and good at his job. But he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other acupuncturists gone bad, acupuncturists who tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands: an outlaw performing acupuncture, a rogue acupuncturist, a Renegade.
Independently wealthy, Raines accepted only kindness and handwritten letters of thanks in exchange for his services. Riding alone on his motorcycle, Diana, Raines stopped in his rambles just long enough to thwart local corruption, do some acupuncture, and capture the heart of any woman foolish enough to fall for him. A movie featuring Reno Raines, rogue acupuncturist, is set to be released soon, tentatively titled The Acupuncturist Who Travels Around and Gets into Adventures.
