Smith Niezgoda Kimberly

At Acupuncture Place, we pride ourselves on providing a personalized and compassionate approach to acupuncture and holistic wellness. Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being, and to support them on their journey towards optimal wellness.

Philosophy

We believe that balancing body, mind, and spirit is key to achieving true health and wellness. At Acupuncture Place, we take a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Our philosophy is centered around the idea that EVERYTHING we do challenges our state of health. BALANCING stress provides a state of wellness, NOURISHING wellness is HEALTH.

Services

We offer a range of services designed to promote overall health and wellness. Our private acupuncture treatments are tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. We also offer community acupuncture treatments, which provide a more affordable and accessible option for those seeking acupuncture care.

Community Acupuncture

Our community acupuncture program is a unique and affordable way to receive acupuncture care. These group treatments are held at various senior center locations throughout the community and are perfect for individuals who may not have time for private treatments or prefer a more streamlined approach.

Cupping & Gua Sha

We also offer cupping and gua sha therapy as additional treatment modalities. Cupping therapy uses cups placed strategically on the skin to create a vacuum, mobilizing blood flow to the area. Gua sha, on the other hand, encourages circulation and blood flow to the surface of the skin. Both therapies can be used as standalone treatments or in conjunction with acupuncture.

Nutritional Consults

Proper nutrition is critical for complete and total wellness and healing of the body. Our nutritional consults are designed to help individuals select the best whole food choices, superfoods, and natural supplements that nourish their body.

How Acupuncture Heals

Acupuncture triggers the body's natural ability to transition between the 'fight or flight' state of stress and the 'rest and digest' state of calm and relaxation. This resting state is where healing and revitalization take place, allowing the body to repair injuries and achieve restful sleep.

How Acupuncture Works

There are many theories and ways to explain how acupuncture works. The Western medical community has proposed five prevailing theories to explain the healing effects of acupuncture. These theories are based on medical studies performed before and after acupuncture treatment and the use of blood draws and neuro-imaging to measure biomedical changes in the body.
