The medical literature shows acupuncture’s effect on nearly every biophysical system in the body. I’ve seen patients suffering from a wide variety of problems respond to acupuncture treatment when nothing else has worked.
So, for most people, yes, acupuncture is something you should explore.
The number of treatments needed differs from person to person. For complex or long-standing conditions, one or two treatments a week for several months may be recommended. For acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, and for health maintenance, we recommend monthly tune ups.
No. It’s very comfortable. Most people end up taking a nap during their treatment and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Insurance companies only like to cover treatments that don’t actually fix the problem. So we’re out of network for all insurance. The good news is, that you are the one in charge of what procedures you get, not an insurance company. And acupuncture treatment is very affordable.
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
Dr. Josh Hanson is a vital component of my wellness program. His technique, equipment and setting are all superb and exactly as I think acupuncture should be practiced (during a pandemic!!) in our busy, urban era. I have recommended him to friends and family and suggest you give him an opportunity to help you, too!

Dr. Hanson is an amazing orthopedic and functional medicine acupuncture physician. Dr. Hanson ‘s medical orthopedic knowledge is high level. He takes his time diagnosing, ensures he properly assesses the imbalances and utilizes precise Acupuncture, Trigger and Muscle Motor Points. The treatments are virtually painless and he explains the process of acupuncture/healing well. The electro-acupuncture/estim treatments do very well for my lower back pain.

Dr. Hanson is a great medical professional that is very comforting and proficient in letting patients know what the process is and how it works. The treatments have been helping with significantly noticeable changes. I should have gotten into acupuncture sooner but glad I found this center when I did!
