Acupuncture Services

Acupuncture is a powerful, time-honored therapy that supports the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.

At Nurtured Family Medicine, acupuncture is offered as part of a thoughtful, integrative approach to care — grounded in modern medicine, guided by tradition, and tailored to the individual.

Japanese-Style Acupuncture

I practice Japanese-style acupuncture, a refined and gentle approach that emphasizes careful palpation, subtle needling, and individualized treatment. I was trained in the Kiiko Matsumoto style, which emphasizes gentle, hands-on diagnosis—especially abdominal palpation—to guide treatment. Acupuncture points are chosen based on real-time body feedback, not just symptoms.

Compared with other styles, Japanese acupuncture:

  • Uses thinner needles and a lighter touch

  • Focuses on detailed physical examination and feedback from your body

  • Is often experienced as deeply calming and comfortable

  • Allows treatment to be precisely adjusted over time

This approach is particularly well-suited for patients who are new to acupuncture, sensitive to needles, or seeking a more nuanced and gentle experience — while still offering meaningful therapeutic benefit.

Acupuncture may be helpful for concerns such as pain, headaches, stress, sleep issues, digestive symptoms, and overall wellbeing.
