Acupuncture Is Coming Soon to Phoenix NHWC
Anna is currently training at the Midwest College of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, where she enrolled in 2024 to deepen her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She’s excited to bring this time-tested practice to Phoenix NHWC as one more way to support your whole-body wellness. While she finishes her training, read through the sections below to learn how acupuncture works and why it has been trusted for thousands of years. Then be sure to check back often, because we’ll share the news here as soon as appointments open.
A Practice Thousands of Years in the Making
Acupuncture began in China more than 2,000 years ago, and one of its earliest written records, the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine), still shapes how it is practiced today. Over the centuries, it spread throughout Asia and eventually around the world. Today, millions of people use acupuncture as part of their regular wellness routine.
Supports Your Body’s Natural Energy Flow
Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that energy, called qi (pronounced “chee”), moves through the body along channels known as meridians. When that flow becomes blocked or uneven, the body can fall out of balance. Acupuncture points sit along these meridians, and stimulating them helps encourage a steady, balanced flow. If you’ve had a BioScan, you’ve already seen meridians at work, since the Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA) measures energy along these same pathways.
Helps Calm the Nervous System
Acupuncture needles are much thinner than the needles used for shots, and most people feel little more than a light tap. Research suggests that stimulating acupuncture points engages the nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, which can help shift the body out of “fight or flight” and into its “rest and digest” state. That calmer state is where your body does its best work, which is why so many people find sessions deeply relaxing.
Works Alongside Your Other Care
Acupuncture isn’t meant to stand alone. It pairs naturally with BioScan, EVOX, supplements, and our supportive therapies, giving your body one more way to respond to the plan we’ve built together. Each session is tailored to you and where your body is right now.
