Understanding Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is based on the concept of qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital life force that flows through the body along pathways known as meridians. According to TCM, imbalances or blockages in the flow of qi can lead to various symptoms and health issues. By strategically placing thin needles along specific points on the meridians, acupuncture aims to restore the normal flow of qi, thereby resolving these imbalances and alleviating symptoms.
The History of Acupuncture
Acupuncture has a rich history that spans over 2,000 years. Originating in ancient China, it has been practiced for millennia and has evolved through various dynasties and cultural influences. The earliest records of acupuncture can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), where it was documented in classic medical texts such as the “Huangdi Neijing” (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine). Over time, acupuncture spread to other parts of Asia, including Japan and Korea, and eventually to the Western world.
In the modern era, acupuncture has gained widespread acceptance and recognition as an effective therapeutic modality. It is now practiced globally and is integrated into various healthcare systems. Research and clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in treating a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to infertility and emotional disorders.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is known for its ability to address a variety of health issues, both physical and emotional. It is commonly used to treat:
Pain Relief: Effective for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, migraines, and back pain.
Stress and Anxiety: Helps reduce stress levels and improve emotional well-being.
Infertility: Supports reproductive health and can enhance fertility treatments.
Digestive Issues: Aids in alleviating symptoms of digestive disorders like IBS and acid reflux.
Sleep Disorders: Promotes better sleep and treats insomnia.
Overall Wellness: Enhances immune function, improves circulation, and promotes general health.
Acupuncture is generally not painful. Most patients experience a sensation of mild tingling or warmth at the needle insertion points. The treatment can be combined with other modalities, such as moxibustion (burning a therapeutic herb near the skin), cupping (using suction cups on the skin), and electro-acupuncture (applying a small electrical current to the needles), to enhance its effectiveness.
A Holistic Approach to Health
At Weiss Wellness + Beauty, we believe in addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. Our whole-body approach ensures that every patient receives comprehensive care tailored to their unique needs. Acupuncture is just one example of how we integrate traditional healing techniques with modern medical practices to promote optimal health and well-being.

Don’t just take our word for it — read what our satisfied clients have to say about their journey with us.
I recently went to Weiss Wellness & Beauty for a series of PRP facials and it has been the most incredible experience. I was blown away by Patricia, their esthetician who was so knowledgeable, and kind. Their space is stunning, conveniently located, and CLEAN. Most importantly my skin has never looked better!!
I’ve been working closely with Dr. Elise Weiss for over 10 years now. It’s amazing how quickly our personal training clients get healthy or through an injury when the pair smart training with Dr. Weiss’ treatments and recommendations. She’s cutting edge on sports medicine treatments and always takes the most gentle and non-invasive approach possible. She helps patients avoid surgeries in many cases. I’ve experienced her treatments first-hand as an athlete myself with PRP, trigger point shots, and shock wave therapy. My injuries improved so much faster and I was able to get back to triathlons and lifting in the gym.
I saw Dr. weiss in April because of a swollen knee, joint locking, unable to kneel comfortably and even trouble walking. 1 treatment, recommended herbal supplements and 3 months later I am a certified yoga instructor. Doing tree pose on both knees. Supervised yoga was my PT. ( A yoga teacher/ dancer recommended Dr. Weiss.) But none of that would have been possible without Dr. Weiss’ initial treatment. Oh and I am 61 years old.
Much thanks.
