East Troy Acupuncture was founded in 2008 to provide empowered, holistic healthcare to southeast Wisconsin.Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of medicine in the world. Originating in China some 4,000 years ago, only in the last three decades has acupuncture been widely practiced in the United States.
Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems. In 1997, a consensus statement released by the National Institutes of Health found that acupuncture is useful in the treatment of many clinical conditions and went on to state: “There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to expand its use into conventional medicine.”
A 2017 research report of meta-analysis studies found that “acupuncture was more effective than usual care and sham acupuncture for chronic pain, that it was one of the more clinically effective physical therapies for osteoarthritis and that it showed benefits in the treatment of depression.”
The Acupuncture Evidence Project has compiled research showing evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture for 117 different conditions.

Community Acupuncture
The community clinic offers affordable, individualized care in a group setting. This is the ideal setting for treating pain and for stress reduction, though most any health concern could potentially be treated in the community clinic. The community clinic is available to patients after an initial evaluation and treatment to create a personalized wellness plan. Although treatments are given in a group setting, great care is given to keep your health information private. Discussion at the start of each treatment is done in private to ensure absolute confidentiality.

AcuMeditation
Join us Mondays from 5-6pm for acupuncture-assisted meditation. Arrive anytime between 5-5:30pm, choose a comfy chair, and receive a treatment of 5 acupuncture pins (2 in each ear and one at the brow) that are proven to induce relaxation. No appointment is necessary and you don’t not need to be an established patient to attend. This is a great way to try acupuncture for stress. The fee is $20 (cash) or $25 (credit).

Cupping
Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that increases circulation by the applying small plastic cups over stagnant areas of the body. Each cup has a small valve, and a pump is used to precisely control the amount of suction to the patient’s comfort level.
