Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting sterile needles at specific points to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve circulation. Our clinic uses evidence-based techniques for conditions ranging from chronic pain to fertility support. Treatments activate the body's natural healing mechanisms through micro-traumas that trigger immune and endocrine responses.
Fertility Support
Specialized acupuncture protocols enhance fertility by regulating hormones, improving ovarian response, and increasing uterine blood flow. We support both natural conception and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF with customized treatment plans for optimal reproductive health.
Chinese Herbs
We provide high-quality, tested herbal formulations to complement acupuncture treatments. Our herbal products address pain management, immune support, digestive issues, and women's health concerns with standardized extracts and topical applications for convenient administration.
Pain Management
Our orthopedic acupuncture techniques target musculoskeletal conditions using motor point and trigger point therapies. Electro-acupuncture and auricular treatments effectively address chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and neuropathy with non-invasive approaches.
Women's Health
We specialize in treating menstrual irregularities, menopause symptoms, and hormonal imbalances through acupuncture and herbal medicine. Our protocols address conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and pregnancy-related discomforts with personalized treatment strategies.

I can't say enough good things about Mike at Evolve Acupuncture. Firstly, he honors and upholds his COVID protocols (i.e., temperature taken at door, face masks are required, you must wash your hands upon entry, etc.) and it makes you feel very safe. On top of that, the office is impeccably clean. It's sterile, yet warm and inviting. Secondly, Mike is extremely professional. He listens deeply to any of my concerns before our session begins and has an amazing bedside manner. I am seeing him weekly for PCOS and there is definitely a stress component that is addressed at each session. I couldn't make

L saw Mike years ago after my hip replacement surgery and had a problem with my thigh cramping up
when I walked. After 3 sessions I was back to pain free walking. I don't know why I didn't think to
see Mike first after I hurt my shoulder in July. I tried everything including PT with no relief. Mike spent time listening to what was going on and knew exactly what needed to be done to get my muscle working again. Once again Mike to the rescue, full range of motion is back, I can put my coat on without pain and I can sleep again without tossing and turning trying to

I came to Mike at Evolve because my chiropractor recommended him. I was having some neck/shoulder pain that just wouldnt go away. I had been seeing the chiropractor for months. I went to my first session with Mike, and he knew immediately which muscle groups to target to help me feel better. My pain went away right after our first session, but Ive been back many times since for other things. I always leave feeling relaxed. Highly recommend!

100% recommend this place to anyone who is considering acupuncture! I had been experiencing severe anxiety and doing a lot of personal work to try and get it under control (meditation, journaling, yoga, physical activity, etc.) and none of it was working as well as I would have liked. I got my first session of acupuncture with Mike and over the next few days I felt much more grounded and calm physically and psychologically than I've felt continuously in a long time. Mike is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable and I'm really grateful I started going!

I have been suffering from pain in my neck and lower back for several months. I believe it is due to long-term affects of having COVID-19. I started seeing Mike three weeks ago and I am amazed at the improvements I am feeling in my neck. He is currently working on my lower back and I am starting to feel relief there as well. I have also been suffering with altered taste and smell and Im hoping he can help me with that as well. I will update my review once we start working on that area. Overall I have had a great experience, the office is nice and clean and they follow several protocols that
