Acupuncture
Acupuncture services are available to all primary care patients who have had a primary care visit at a Culinary Health Center within the last 12 months.
Acupuncture comes from traditional Chinese medicine. It is used to treat pain, reduce stress, and improve wellness. When receiving acupuncture, our acupuncturist will examine you and assess your condition. They will create a treatment plan for you and insert one or more thin, sterile needles into your body. The needles rebalance the body’s energy (also known as “qi”). It helps your body release natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptoms.

- Arthritis
- Ankle sprain
- Back pain
- Bell’s palsy
- Fibromyalgia (condition that causes aches and pains all over the body)
