Looking for a structured approach
to support lasting healing?

Our treatment packages are designed to support progress over time by addressing the root of your health concerns.

Acupuncture of Iowa Packages

Many of our patients come to us after trying physical therapy, injections, medications, or sporadic acupuncture — with partial or temporary results.

What’s usually missing isn’t effort or willpower. It’s consistency.

At Acupuncture of Iowa, we often begin with a short reset phase of more frequent care. This allows the nervous system and tissues to calm, stabilize, and respond — so progress doesn’t disappear between visits.

Our goal isn’t short-term relief. It’s helping pain stop running your life. 

All new patients are requested to prepay a $170 fee for the initial office visit with comprehensive evaluation.

That comprehensive assessment for acupuncture is an extensive evaluation: review of medical history, review of radiological findings, pain drawing, medications list, supplement list, physical examination, pulse and tongue exam, baseline AcuGraph assessment, and comprehensive treatment plan. We also will discuss what the acupuncture experience is like to help you understand the process and what to expect from the experience.

For your treatments, purchase a prepaid program to get a discount and make your visits quick without having to pay each time you come. Please schedule your entire series of visits ahead so you can get on our busy schedule at the times you like. Your clinician will advise on the number of visits recommended when you have your initial evaluation and treatment planning visit. Most people begin with 12 sessions to get started and then we re-evaluate to update your plan.

Gentle Acupuncture

Our specialty is gentle acupuncture. Acupuncture has been healing bodies for centuries, by awakening and stimulating your own body’s innate healing process. It restores cells and tissues, cleans up what doesn’t belong there, and gets blood flow moving to reduce pain.

Herbal Supplements

Herbal supplements simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This is an important approach for anxiety and insomnia — herbal supplements can trigger great relief while working on strengthening the body to prevent further problems and degeneration. This combination makes herbal medicine particularly well-suited to addressing all kinds of anxiety, insomnia and its causes.

Functional Nervous System Support

When your nerves, brain and cells are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, these tissues naturally function at a very high level. When tissues are functioning at a high level, there’s far less opportunity for issues to set in.

Relaxation & Stress Reduction

When your body is in a state of relaxation, it is able to repair itself at the deepest level. In this state, your brain and nerves become more synchronized and calm — creating the perfect stage for health and healing. This means less static in your nervous system, better brain chemical balance, less inflammation, a calmer mind, more energy and better mood.

After this assessment, you will receive your first acupuncture treatment, and you will be given a treatment plan with simple, easy-to-follow instructions Your treatment plan includes dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as herbal supplements to address the root of your back pain.

Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel your body establishing a new pattern. We want to make sure your treatment plan is providing you with:

  • Increasing anxiety relief
  • Improved sleep
  • Possible reduction in mental health medications
  • More “good days” — energy, mood, stamina
  • Better mood, more productivity, feeling better

You’ll also receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that your brain and nervous system is rebalancing to return to its original pattern of health.

Transitional Care as Improvements Are Maintained

Once we see improvements that are maintained over time, we will start spacing visits out further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tuneups.” We are here for you, in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address, or feel like your anxiety or insomnia is prone to a flare-up during a particular time or activity. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you on that level, if that is your wish.
