You are seeking help for a challenging health condition. You've tried everything and have not been happy with your results and are still feeling less than your best. You don't have the energy you'd like, you don't sleep well, your weight is not where you want, you have pain that interferes with your activity, you may be depressed, anxious, or feeling hopeless about your situation. You don't know who to trust and may be overwhelmed with all the options you hear about. You may be concerned about the legitimacy or safety of treatments you hear about. You are frustrated. I specialize in assisting people who are in just this situation.

Acupuncture in Iowa - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Iowa acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
