CummingAcupuncture
A gentle, precise system of care
Acupuncture uses hair-thin needles at specific points on the body to relieve pain, calm the nervous system and support the body's own healing processes. Rooted in centuries of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's backed today by a growing body of clinical research.
How a session works
Your first visit begins with a full intake — your health history, current symptoms and goals — followed by your first treatment. Needles are hair-thin, sterile and single-use, placed at points chosen for your specific concern.
Most patients feel little to no discomfort on insertion, and many drift into a deeply relaxed state during the 20–30 minutes the needles remain in place. A typical course of care runs six to twelve sessions, spaced weekly, though this varies by condition.

Anxiety, insomnia, chronic stress and nervous-system regulation.
