Acupuncture 101: What It Is and How It Works

If you’ve ever wondered what acupuncture is or why people swear by it, you’re not alone. Acupuncture is a time-tested healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses ultra-fine, painless needles to stimulate specific points on the body. These points help rebalance the flow of energy, or Qi, to support natural healing, reduce stress, relieve pain, improve sleep, and boost overall wellness.

At The Still Point, our licensed acupuncturists bring a modern, spa-like approach to this ancient practice. Whether you’re seeking deep relaxation, relief from chronic tension, or a natural glow, we offer several customized paths:

Full Body Acupuncture

This is our full-session treatment, designed to address both body and mind. Your practitioner will create a plan tailored to your goals, whether it’s managing stress, relieving pain, boosting immunity, or addressing digestion or fatigue. Acupuncture promotes natural healing, corrects imbalances, and supports long-term wellness from the root.

AcuFix

A focused, shorter session that addresses acute or localized issues such as neck pain, headaches, anxiety, or muscle tightness. AcuFix combines acupuncture with Asian bodywork to quickly target discomfort. It’s ideal for busy schedules or a tune-up between full treatments. For lasting relief, a full series of acupuncture sessions is recommended.

AcuGlow Treatment

AcuGlow is a luxurious, deeply relaxing facial and acupuncture treatment that promotes cellular regeneration while it firms, tones, and oxygenates the skin. This session includes body acupuncture along with facial Gua Sha, cupping, and LED light therapy, all customized for your skincare goals. You’ll leave brighter, tighter, and glowing from within.

Asian Bodywork

This treatment features traditional techniques like Tui Na (Chinese massage), Gua Sha, cupping, and more. Designed to melt tension and restore energetic balance, it’s a perfect choice for those seeking pain relief, increased circulation, or a gentle introduction to Asian healing arts. Needles can be included if desired for deeper results.

Whether you’re completely new to acupuncture or simply looking to deepen your wellness routine, The Still Point offers approachable, effective treatments to support your individual needs. Our experienced team is here to guide you toward better balance, greater ease, and lasting vitality.
