Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body using very thin needles to restore health. There has been extensive research on the benefits of acupuncture, especially for: 

  • Pain management
  • Back and neck pain
  • Osteoarthritis / knee pain
  • Headaches

Acupuncture may also be effective in treating other health issues — each person will have a unique response to the treatment.

Our providers at the UW Osher Center bring integrative medicine and acupuncture into mainstream medicine to provide cohesive and coordinated care for our patients.
