Acupuncture Natural Wellness’s licensed acupuncturist realigns meandering energy meridians in the body and combats pain according to techniques pioneered by ancient Chinese healers. A series of slim, sterilized needles balance off-kilter energy and stimulate endorphins as the acupuncturist inserts them at depths of up to three inches, depending on the client’s problem areas, including fatigue, work-chair-induced achiness, depression, allergies, or 40th-birthday balloons that refuse to pop. Although the hair-thin disposable needles generally prick without discomfort, sensitive clients can opt for fewer insertions or tickled from a kitten’s whiskers instead of needles. Two treatments are often enough to tackle acute issues, but patrons may schedule up to six for chronic migraines, arthritis, or nervous conditions. Introductory sessions last roughly 60 minutes, whereas second appointments can wrap up in as little as 40 minutes in the serene haven of healing.
