Dry Needling

Dry needling targets hyperactive trigger points using sterile needles to release muscle tension and improve blood flow. This technique effectively treats back pain, sports injuries, and chronic muscle conditions by resetting dysfunctional muscle fibers. Patients often experience immediate pain relief and improved mobility after sessions lasting 30-60 minutes.

Orthopedic Acupuncture

Specialized acupuncture focusing on musculoskeletal injuries through motor point stimulation and nerve reset techniques. Treats joint pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery by addressing neurological dysfunction. Combines electro-acupuncture with traditional methods for enhanced pain management and accelerated healing in conditions like tendonitis and muscle strains.

Neurofunctional Acupuncture

Targets neurological pathways using precise needle placement to modulate pain signals and improve nerve function. Effective for migraines, nerve compression, and chronic pain conditions by restoring proper neural communication. Sessions incorporate patient education on home care techniques to maintain treatment benefits between appointments.

Myofascial Release

Manual therapy addressing connective tissue restrictions through sustained pressure and stretching techniques. Treats plantar fasciitis, scar tissue adhesions, and postural imbalances by improving tissue elasticity and circulation. Often combined with acupuncture for enhanced recovery from repetitive strain injuries and chronic pain conditions.

Sports Acupuncture

Customized treatments optimizing athletic performance and recovery through targeted pain management techniques. Addresses sports-specific injuries, enhances muscle function, and prevents recurring strains using a combination of dry needling, cupping therapy, and mobility exercises tailored to individual training regimens.

Questions

What conditions do you treat with acupuncture?

We treat chronic pain, migraines, sports injuries, arthritis, digestive issues, and stress-related conditions using acupuncture's natural healing stimulation.

Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

While both use needles, dry needling targets muscle trigger points specifically, while acupuncture addresses broader energy pathways and systemic conditions.

How long are treatment sessions?

Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on treatment complexity, with initial consultations requiring additional time for assessment.

Do you accept insurance?

We provide superbill documentation for potential insurance reimbursement, though direct insurance billing isn't offered at this time.

Having never done acupuncture, my session with Jason was incredibly informative and relaxing. Everything was communicated in such clear and concise detail which really helped with the nerves. The facilities are clean and theres a great relaxing vibe about the place. On top of all that my lower back feels so much better!

This is my first ever experience with acupuncture, and it was wonderful experience. I had a few issues that had been persisting for several months, a year. After a thorough consultation and treatment plan now I am feeling much better. Sannit is extremely caring, attentive and kind. After the very first session my back and neck pain were reduced, whereas intensive physical therapy didn't work for me. Highly recommended!!

Todays session with Jason was exceptional. We covered so much ground in such a brief amount of time. Jason displays such care and expertise. We covered the treatment, diet, skincare, and preventative pain management. The acupuncture treatment helped a ton. The customer service from Sara was great. The new space on N 7th Street is incredible. Cant wait to go back.

Summit is great. They listen and ask questions to get to the root of your issues, then they consistently check in session after session to make sure theyre making progress to the goal (pain relief, muscle activation, etc.) All of my questions are answered thoughtfully, I have no complaints about summit. Highly recommend for everyone, even people who dont currently think they need reliefbeing proactive and going there before the need is important!

Great experience in the Summit Acupuncture office. Clean and peaceful space making it easy to relax. Jason took time to assess me and take care of anything that came up. Sara also did a great job at the desk helping me through the visit!

Going to Summit has completely changed my well being physically and mentally. Since starting with Summit, this has been the first relief of back and hip pain in years. The education, support, and care during every visit has made me feel more attune with my body. Jason and team are always amazing and take time to answer any questions I have along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Summit Acupuncture.
