Acupuncture at Caldwell Family Wellness
At Caldwell Family Wellness, we provide personalized, results-driven acupuncture designed to support your body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is a holistic approach that addresses both symptoms and the underlying causes of imbalance in the body.
We believe acupuncture should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer a variety of treatment options that vary in cost—but never in quality of care. No matter which option you choose, you’ll receive a thoughtful, individualized treatment.
If you’d like help choosing the right option for you, we invite you to call our office and speak with an associate—we’re happy to guide you.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy that involves the gentle placement of very fine needles into specific points along the body’s meridians. These points help regulate the flow of energy (Qi), improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is commonly used to support:
- Pain relief (including back pain, neck pain, knee pain, and joint discomfort)
- Stress and anxiety reduction
- Headaches and migraines
- Fertility support
- Pregnancy support and postpartum recovery
- Hormonal balance
- Digestive health
- Sleep improvement
- Injury recovery and inflammation reduction
- Help with cravings and addiction support
- Allergy relief (see SAAT under services to learn how acupuncture may help retrain your immune system’s response to allergens)
A Personalized Approach to Healing
There are many different styles of acupuncture, and each of our physicians brings their own unique training and approach to treatment.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we focus on treating the root of dis-ease, not just the symptoms. Each treatment plan is developed through a comprehensive assessment that may include:
- Palpation (hands-on assessment of the body)
- Pulse diagnosis
- Observations of patterns and overall health
These tools give your provider insight into where your body is out of balance and how to restore it effectively.
Acupuncture Services & Therapies We Offer
Your treatment may include a combination of therapies depending on what will best support your healing:
Cupping Therapy
A technique that uses suction cups to increase circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote healing.
Gua Sha
A gentle scraping technique that improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps release tight or stagnant tissue.
Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim)
A modern enhancement to acupuncture where a mild electrical current is applied to needles to stimulate muscles and nerves, often used for pain relief and recovery.
Moxibustion
A heat therapy that uses the herb mugwort to gently heat acupuncture points, improving circulation and supporting the body’s healing processes. We often use moxa to spin a breech baby.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas may be recommended to support internal balance and enhance the effects of acupuncture treatments.
Nutritional Supplements
When appropriate, your provider may recommend high-quality supplements to support your treatment goals, such as reducing inflammation, improving nutrient levels, or supporting overall wellness.
