The science behind acupuncture
A clear, evidence-informed look at how acupuncture is thought to work — and what the research actually shows.
In their words.
A few recent reviews from Google.
The first time I went in, Jonathan hit a spot that immediately took my body out of “fight or flight.” I hadn’t felt that relaxed in years. After the recent loss of my mother, I’ve found so much help managing grief, stress, anxiety, and my overall wellbeing.
I find it very beneficial to do cupping, and Jonathan does a wonderful job targeting the areas that need it most. Kelly is an exceptional front desk person — I enjoy coming in for my visit and visiting with the team. Book it!
I highly recommend Intuitive Acupuncture. The care here is truly personalized, thoughtful, and effective. Jonathan has helped me immensely with chronic neck, jaw, and back pain — using acupuncture, cupping, and custom exercises that have given me lasting relief.
Jonathan and Kathy are amazing. Jonathan eased my long-term knee pain, and Kathy relieved neck and shoulder pain I’d struggled with since a car accident — usually it lingers for weeks, but after one session it was gone.
I’d give this place 10 stars if I could. I’ve dealt with a lower-back injury for 15 years. Not only did the acupuncture help — Jonathan gave me workouts to do at home that have made the pain pretty much disappear. Would 100% recommend to anyone dealing with an injury.
