Acupuncture Therapy in St. Charles, IL

What is Acupuncture?

As an ideal adjunct to chiropractic care, we use acupuncture when we see health problems that seem caused by disruption to energy pathways in your body called meridians. This centuries-old healing procedure focuses on the integrity of bodily systems, not specific conditions and can be used to treat arthritis, tendinitis, GI disorders, anxiety, musculoskeletal conditions, and chronic pain among others.

What about the needles?

The most common question we get is about the needles we use. Most people have encountered hypodermic needles and sewing needles. Both types are gigantic compared to the ones we use. In fact, five of our needles could easily fit inside a hypodermic needle!


When we first insert these ultra-fine, sterile needles at special energy points on your body, most people report a small prick, like a mosquito bite.


And yes, this is different than dry needling! Learn more about the difference here.

How does it work?

Acupuncture has been used to treat conditions for over 3000 years. No one knows exactly how it works, but it does.Perhaps the best way to think about acupuncture is to imagine rivers of energy throughout your body, organized by meridians. These meridians can experience a “log jam” and energy flow is restricted. The needles help loosen the logjam and allow energy to circulate properly.


Acupuncture visits can take up to 30-45 minutes. Most people experience a variety of post-session feelings, which range from energized to a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
