TREATMENTS / ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture
Whisper-thin needles, mapped to your body, nudging it back toward balance.
Ancient practice, delivered with a light modern touch.
Acupuncture activates mapped points along the body's pathways with sterile, single-use needles barely thicker than a hair. Most people notice no more than a momentary flicker — then settle into a heavy, calm stillness while the points do their work.
At Stillwater, point choices start fresh each visit with pulse and tongue reading, so the treatment mirrors how you show up that day rather than a preset routine.

How an appointment unfolds
You tell your story
History, sleep, digestion, stress, and aims — rounded out with pulse and tongue reading.
Needles placed gently
Selected points are needled while you lie back or face-down in a quiet, warmed room.
Rest, then regroup
A calm twenty-to-thirty-minute rest, followed by an honest read on progress and timing.
Questions we hear often
Does it hurt?
Barely, for most people. The needles are hair-thin, and what sensation there is tends to be a quick flicker or a dull, spreading warmth — plenty of patients doze off mid-session.
How many visits will I need?
Fresh injuries frequently turn a corner within a handful of appointments; entrenched problems more often call for six to ten. We track your response visit by visit and shape the timeline together.
How do you keep it safe?
Very. Your acupuncturist is state-licensed, opens factory-sealed single-use needles for every patient, and practices clean-needle protocol from start to finish.
