Acupuncture services
Acupuncture uses thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural ability to heal. As a complement to conventional medicine, it is often used alongside standard treatment plans to manage symptoms, ease side effects, and support overall wellbeing.
Our acupuncture services are provided by a physician who is also a licensed acupuncturist, offering a rare blend of medical training and integrative expertise — thoughtfully coordinated with your OB/GYN treatment plan, not separate from it.
Appointments are also available for concerns unrelated to obstetric or gynecologic care. Patients frequently schedule sessions for seasonal allergies, migraines and tension headaches, sports-related injuries and recovery, stress and anxiety, and general wellness maintenance. Whether you are an existing patient or new to the practice, acupuncture is available to anyone seeking a complementary approach to their health.
Focus areas
Persistent fatigue — whether related to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, hormonal shifts, or a demanding schedule — can be difficult to resolve with rest alone. Acupuncture is used to support energy regulation, improve sleep quality, and address underlying imbalances that contribute to low energy.
Many patients pursuing fertility treatment use acupuncture to support their care. It may help by promoting healthy blood flow to the reproductive organs, supporting hormonal balance, and reducing stress — a factor that can influence fertility outcomes. Acupuncture is often used alongside IUI and IVF protocols, timed in coordination with your fertility plan.
From pelvic pain and endometriosis to pregnancy-related back and joint discomfort, acupuncture offers a non-pharmacologic option for pain relief. Treatments are tailored to the source and pattern of your pain, with the goal of reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and minimizing reliance on medication when appropriate.

Skin rejuvenation
SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared collagen induction therapy that triggers the body's natural healing response and stimulates new collagen and elastin. Combined with PRP — platelet-rich plasma from a small sample of your own blood — the treatment is enhanced to accelerate healing and further support skin rejuvenation.
During the procedure, the device creates microchannels in the skin so PRP can be applied topically and absorbed more deeply, delivering concentrated growth factors where they are needed. Because PRP is sourced from your own blood, the treatment carries minimal risk of allergic reaction.
Most patients see optimal results with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, and many continue with periodic maintenance as new collagen forms over the following weeks.
