Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a time-honored practice that supports your body’s natural ability to heal. By restoring the flow of energy, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system, acupuncture can help relieve pain, ease stress, and bring the body back into balance.
About the treatments
At Backcountry Wellness Center, our acupuncture sessions are gentle, personalized, and rooted in both traditional wisdom and modern understanding. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, insomnia, anxiety, or general tension, your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs.
Hair-thin needles are placed at key points to stimulate energy flow, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and support internal organ function. Most patients find the experience deeply relaxing and restorative, with benefits that go far beyond the physical.
Your visit
Every visit begins with a thoughtful consultation where we explore your health history, lifestyle, and current symptoms. We’ll walk you through the treatment and answer any questions you may have. Your comfort and trust are always our top priority.
Here’s what a session typically includes:
- A calming intake process to understand your goals and concerns
- Gentle needle placement at points based on your body’s unique needs
- Optional add-ons like cupping, gua sha, or moxibustion as appropriate
- A peaceful rest period during which the needles remain in place
- Supportive recommendations for aftercare and continued healing
Acupuncture is cumulative, meaning it often works best when done consistently over time. You’re encouraged to relax, ask questions, and treat each session as time set aside just for you.
