ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture styles

Acupuncture at Body Harmony of Arlington is delivered as both a musculoskeletal and whole-body therapy, depending on the patient’s needs. 


Some sessions are more physical medicine–focused, addressing pain, muscle tension, and biomechanical  dysfunction using techniques such as targeted needling, cupping, or acupuncture electrostimulation.


Others follow a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach, working to balance the body’s meridian system, support internal regulation, and improve overall vitality.

In many cases, these approaches are combined within a single treatment or over the course of care. 


Regardless of whether the goal is structural or energetic, most patients find acupuncture to be deeply relaxing. 

Sessions commonly promote stress reduction, calm the nervous system, and contribute to improved sleep quality, making acupuncture both a therapeutic and restorative experience.

ACUPUNCTURE PRICING:

There are several acupuncture treatment session options: 


  • a 20-minute 'spot-treatment' as add-on service to a chiropractic adjustment: $75
  • Stand-alone expanded  session: $125
  • Expanded 50-minute multi-modal  + meridian-balancing session: $175


Sessions require an initial first exam prior to acupuncture so we can discuss in-depth problems, treatment options, and a plan. Keep in mind that while many people report positive changes after their first session, most goals are reached after a progressive series of care.
