Why Acupuncture?


  • Chinese medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine on the planet, having had at least 1500 years of development. Acupuncture is widely practiced in Southeast Asia and China, as well as extensively in Europe and even in South America. There is even an acupuncture training program at the Harvard Medical School.
     
  • Research has shown that acupuncture is extremely safe, when practiced by properly trained practitioners. 
     
  • Acupuncture works on the body's many different systems at the same time, helping in many ways.  Through the insertion of fine solid sterile needles, an acupuncturist can help your body regain the balance it has lost, using time-tested treatment methods.

About us

Acupuncture of Iowa is the clinic where licensed acupuncturists Laura Christensen and Stacy Kluck provide acupuncture and related Chinese and Asian medical therapies including lifestyle modifications, dietary therapies, traditional Chinese herbalism, therapeutic activity recommendations, and more. We specialize in treating such problems as back pain, leg pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, headache, joint pain, nerve pain, cancer pain, and any other chronic pain. We also help with many other health problems.

Pain relief and pain management is just one reason people seek acupuncture. Many of our patients find acupuncture helpful for skin conditions, digestive problems, infertility, turning breach babies, inducing labor, other reproductive issues, urinary issues, respiratory disease, and many other problems. We are also happy to help with complex health issues including fibromyalgia, food allergies, auto-immune conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, among others.

Our training brings together the best of both worlds; knowledge of biomedical physiology, anatomy, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, mental health, and western medicine, as well as extensive graduate level training in Chinese medicine theory, traditional herbalism, and post-graduate training in specialty areas of acupuncture including Master Tong's acupuncture, The Balance Method, Japanese acupuncture, Korean Hand acupuncture, Chinese herbology, and dietary therapies from the Chinese medical tradition as well as the Western herbal tradition.
