Please note: This appointment is for new patients only. It is required as an initial consultation and must be completed prior to booking any follow-up Naturopathic acupuncture sessions. Naturopathic Acupuncture is a technique where fine needles are inserted into the skin to treat a variety of health concerns. Using a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach, Dr. Stummer, ND identifies symptoms and imbalances in organ systems to create a personalized treatment plan. Acupuncture supports the body's natural ability to heal and encourages a return to balance and alignment. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous and organ systems, triggering the release of chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical shifts may activate the body’s innate healing processes and promote both physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture is commonly used to treat a wide range of conditions, including: Pain Management (chronic or acute) Fertility support (female and male) Osteoarthritis and joint pain Disorders of the Nervous System Insomnia and sleep disturbances Allergies and sinus issues Mental health support: Anxiety, depression, stress-related conditions Migraines and headaches Menopausal symptoms and menstrual disorders Digestive concerns (e.g., bloating, IBS, nausea) Immune support and fatigue Hormonal imbalance, metabolic concerns (e.g., diabetes, thyroid concerns) Additional: Electroacupuncture is an advanced technique where a mild electrical current is applied to acupuncture needles to enhance stimulation. This can increase the effectiveness of traditional acupuncture, especially for pain relief. It works by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, modulating nerve activity, and releasing endorphins and other neurochemicals that block pain signals. Electroacupuncture is commonly used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, sciatica, arthritis, muscle spasms, sports injuries, and neuropathy. Additional: Auricular (ear) acupuncture is also available and may be used as part of your treatment to support a wide range of concerns, including stress, addiction/smoking cessation, pain, and hormonal balance.
