Welcome to Treehouse Acupuncture
We take an elevated approach to healing and preventative care using Japanese-style acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and botanical remedies.
How We Treat Our Patients’ Symptoms
We all heal differently, so why should you put yourself through cookie-cutter treatment?
Whether you’re looking to address muscle pain from an old sports injury, reduce ongoing stress and anxiety, improve your fertility or manage any hormonal changes, reduce symptoms from an auto-immune disease, or just launch a tailored detox plan – we have the tools and knowledge to create the right treatment plan tailored for you, your body and your body’s specific way of healing.
Chronic Pain
Acupuncture sessions soothe muscle tension and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities by increasing blood flow and oxygenation, promoting faster healing.
Stress & Anxiety
Acupuncture needles trigger neurotransmitters in your brain that relieve pain and make you happy, lowering blood pressure, stress and anxiety, and bringing balance to your mind, body, and spirit.
Women's Health
Acupuncture supports women’s health, treats pain stemming from gynecological concerns like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Endometriosis, and works wonders on PMS and menstrual cramps.
Fertility & Maternity
Most female infertility stems from reduced circulation, endometriosis, and irregular menstrual cycles, so a focus on directing blood flow to the reproductive organs through acupuncture is extremely effective.

Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune diseases create a state of chronic systemic inflammation in the body that eventually triggers an attack. acupuncture help the body restore balance, treating the root of the disorder, while specifically addressing the symptoms that are unique to each individual.
Respiratory Weaknesses
Are you always catching colds or the flu? Do you suffer from allergies or asthma? Acupuncture boots your immune system and reduces chills, fevers, and body aches. Amazingly, patients receiving acupuncture have elevated immune-enhancing hormones and blood counts for up to three days after treatment.
Skin Issues
Did you know that forehead acne is usually related to digestive problems, chin breakouts signal adrenal fatigue, while lower cheek breakouts stem from respiratory congestion? Our acupuncturists detect the source of the inflammation and start the healing process there.
