Autoimmune Conditions & Allergies
Relief from inflammation is here. Acupuncture regulates inflammation, promotes healthy cellular communication and proper clearance of toxins, so your symptoms are reduced or eliminated.
Thanks to acupuncture, you can get back to your life with a safe, non-pharmacological option for inflammation control.

What Types of Inflammatory Symptoms Can Acupuncture Treat?
Common autoimmune conditions we see include:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis & Psoriatic Arthritis
- Sjogren’s Syndrome
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
- Scleroderma
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
In addition, we work with patients suffering from “autoimmune-like” inflammatory conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Long-COVID syndrome, Lyme disease and Post-Lyme syndrome, POTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and dysautonomia.
What Kind of Allergies Can Acupuncture Help?
Since 2015, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery clinical practice guidelines have included acupuncture as a treatment option for patients seeking non-pharmacological alternatives for allergic rhinitis.
We have helped patients with environmental allergies including pollen, dander, dust, mold, chemical sensitivities and more. Seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis, sinus congestion, sinus headaches, sinusitis and asthma are conditions that respond well to acupuncture!
Acupuncture can also be extremely helpful for inflammatory and allergic skin disorders such as chronic idiopathic hives, eczema, and dermatitis. In many cases patients who were unable to find relief with topical medications and steroids were able to finally achieve healthy skin through acupuncture’s natural ability to regulate inflammation.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
At your first visit, we will go over your symptoms and health history to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Then we will tailor a treatment plan with just the right combination of acupuncture therapies that work best for your unique symptoms. If you decide to proceed with a plan of care, you may receive treatment on your first visit if time permits.
Treatment frequency will vary depending on the severity and duration or your symptoms. Most of our patients with inflammatory symptoms come in two to three times per week for the first few weeks. Once you are improving between the visits, we reduce the frequency until you graduate to monthly maintenance visits. Patients who follow this protocol achieve long lasting results with even the most severe issues.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Most patients report temporary immediate relief, and more profound, longer-lasting improvement after several weeks of care. Your results depend on many variables such as your symptoms, how long you’ve been experiencing the condition, current health status, medications, diet and lifestyle.
