What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. Thin, sterile needles are inserted at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, relieve pain, and restore the body's natural balance. Rather than only masking symptoms, acupuncture takes a holistic approach aimed at addressing the root cause of a condition.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
During treatment, needles placed at targeted points activate the nervous system, increase blood circulation, and trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals. This process helps calm inflammation, ease muscle tension, and support the body's own healing response — one reason acupuncture has become a trusted option for chronic pain and stress management.

Our acupuncturists treat low back pain, neck pain, migraines, sciatica, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, wrist pain, tennis elbow, leg pain, bladder pain, infertility, and eye health, along with carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, TMJ pain, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, sports injuries, neuropathy, arthritis, allergies, anxiety, asthma, insomnia, and stress.
What Happens During an Acupuncture Treatment?
Every visit begins with a conversation about your symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals. From there, your acupuncturist selects points tailored to your condition and combines needling with complementary techniques such as cupping, moxibustion, or acupressure. Sessions take place in a calm, private treatment room designed for full relaxation.

What Our Patients Say
"David is absolutely amazing!! I'd give him 10 stars! I've had lower back pain, neck pain, muscle tightness and everything else. Anything I throw at David, he's able to relieve. His acupuncture / cupping is a perfect combination! As a navy veteran, I was able to get the VA to cover it too. Recently moved to Surprise and I still go see David because he's that amazing. I've seen a sports massage therapist before and David blows that out of the water. The relief is practically instantaneous. Recommend David 1,000%!!!"
