What I Work With
Acupuncture for a range of health concerns
Acupuncture can be helpful for many different health concerns. Some people come in because they have a specific problem they want to address. Others are looking for support with stress, sleep, recovery, or their overall wellbeing.
At Chi Harmony Acupuncture, treatment is individualized rather than based simply on a diagnosis or symptom. Your health history, current concerns, and the way your symptoms fit together all help guide your care.
Pain & Musculoskeletal Conditions
Acupuncture may be helpful for many types of pain and musculoskeletal concerns, whether they are recent, recurring, or long-standing.
Treatment may address neck and shoulder pain, back pain, joint and muscle pain, arthritis, tendon and repetitive-use problems, sports and other injuries, sciatica, TMJ and jaw tension, and other recurring pain patterns.

Stress, Sleep & Nervous-System Regulation
Stress can affect much more than how you feel emotionally. It can influence sleep, muscle tension, digestion, pain, energy, and your ability to recover.
Acupuncture can provide an opportunity for the body to shift out of a state of ongoing activation and into a more relaxed state.
It may be helpful for stress and overwhelm, difficulty relaxing, trouble falling or staying asleep, stress-related muscle tension, restlessness, and other concerns related to nervous-system regulation.

Women’s Health
Women’s health changes throughout life, and acupuncture can provide support during different stages of the menstrual and reproductive life cycle.
Treatment may address menstrual discomfort, PMS, changing or irregular cycles, perimenopause, menopause, sleep and stress concerns related to hormonal changes, and general wellbeing.

Fertility
Acupuncture can be used as supportive care during the fertility journey, including alongside conventional fertility treatment.
The process of trying to conceive or going through fertility treatment can involve significant physical and emotional demands. Acupuncture can provide support for wellbeing while you continue working with your fertility specialist or other medical providers.
Treatment may address stress, sleep, tension, cycle-related concerns, and general health and wellbeing during this time.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring significant physical and emotional changes. Acupuncture can be used as complementary care alongside appropriate prenatal, obstetric, and postpartum healthcare.
During pregnancy, treatment may address concerns such as back or pelvic discomfort, muscle tension, headaches, nausea, digestive discomfort, sleep difficulties, stress, and general pregnancy-related discomfort.
Postpartum care can focus on recovery, physical discomfort, sleep disruption, stress and overwhelm, digestion, energy, and general wellbeing.

Digestive Health
Digestion is closely connected with other aspects of health, including stress, sleep, eating patterns, and nervous-system regulation.
Acupuncture may be helpful for concerns such as bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, stress-related digestive symptoms, and changes in appetite or digestion.

Headaches & Migraines
Acupuncture may be helpful for people experiencing recurring headaches or migraines. Treatment looks at the headache itself as well as factors that may contribute to or accompany it.
This may include neck and shoulder tension, stress, sleep, hormonal changes, digestion, and other patterns that vary from person to person.

General Health & Wellbeing
You don’t need to have a specific diagnosis or major health problem to benefit from acupuncture.
Some people seek care when they’re feeling run down, going through a stressful period, recovering from an illness or demanding period of life, or simply wanting to maintain their health and wellbeing.
Treatment may focus on relaxation, sleep, energy, recovery, stress management, or supporting your overall sense of balance and wellbeing.

Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture takes a whole-person approach to supporting healthy-looking skin and a refreshed appearance. Treatment may also address facial tension, stress, sleep, and other factors that can influence how you look and feel.

A whole-person approach
These categories aren’t always separate.
Pain can affect sleep. Stress can affect digestion. Hormonal changes can affect sleep and energy. Poor sleep can influence pain and how well you recover.
Your treatment takes these connections into account rather than looking at each symptom in isolation.
