Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses thin, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body. At our Tumwater acupuncture clinic, treatments help balance energy flow, reduce inflammation, relieve chronic pain, aid in sports injury recovery, and support natural healing and wellness.
Acupuncture can address a wide range of conditions, including chronic back pain, neck pain, sciatica, stress, anxiety, digestive issues, headaches, fertility concerns, women’s health issues, allergies, and insomnia. Many patients in Tumwater and the greater Olympia area use acupuncture as a natural approach to pain relief and holistic health care.
Your first visit includes a full wellness assessment, a discussion of your health history, and a customized treatment plan designed by a licensed acupuncturist. Some Tumwater acupuncture appointments combine acupuncture with supportive therapies such as cupping, gua sha, or herbal recommendations for optimal results.
Most people experience little to no discomfort during an acupuncture session. The needles are extremely thin, and many clients report feeling deeply relaxed or even falling asleep. If you’re new to acupuncture in Tumwater, your practitioner will work gently and explain each step to ensure a comfortable experience.
Many insurance plans cover acupuncture for conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, and injury recovery. We can verify your benefits and let you know what your plan covers. We serve patients from Tumwater, Olympia, Lacey, and nearby South Sound communities who use acupuncture as part of their health and wellness care.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows access to areas like your arms, legs, and back, and any area being treated. Tumwater acupuncture sessions do not require full disrobing, but your comfort is always the priority.
