Acupuncture is not a cure all, but it can be an effective, safe, and drug-free solution to many modern ailments. If you have a question about a specific condition, give us a call at 502-632-4061 and ask for Hillary or Jonathan.
How it works
Acupuncture therapy focuses on a system of energy pathways throughout the body. When these pathways become blocked, dysfunction and disease occur. Acupuncture unblocks them.
It is a medicine for people who are interested in the mysteries of the human body that cannot yet be seen and measured.
More than a bandaid
Medicine shouldn't stop at symptom relief. Our intention is to lead you through deeper change so that problems don't come back, and you can actually feel like your self again.
The minute my first visit began, I felt things inside my body being put to rights. It felt like everything that had been out of place was at last being put back where it belonged.

A blend of evidence-based therapies
Using our years of experience treating a diverse group of individuals and conditions, we blend a variety of longstanding, evidence-based therapies — including acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine, qigong, and more — to create an effective recipe for healing each unique person.
Acupuncture & Moxibustion
Fine needles (often as thin as a human hair) are inserted gently into the body at precise locations shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health conditions. These locations may also be stimulated by an herbal warming therapy called moxibustion. The WHO recognizes acupuncture for over 40 common ailments.
Cupping is performed by creating suction on the body with rounded glass cups to relieve tension and pain and stimulate acupuncture points. Other complimentary hands-on techniques include traditional tuina massage, guasha scraping, and acupressure.
Cupping & Manual Therapies
Herbal Medicine & Food Therapy
We use over 300 herbs with a wide range of medicinal properties including analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immune enhancing, antiviral, glucose regulating, cardio-protective, and many more. Herbs and food are much gentler on the human body than most drugs, but they are effective medicines with few (if any) side effects.
The Way
Perhaps the greatest tool in our medicine chest is the tome of insights into Nature’s laws and rhythms that acupuncture's medicine holds at its center. This wisdom acts as a guide in developing healthful, natural, and reparative life practices that not only heal disease and prevent illness but also enhance our innate ability to thrive. At Turtle Tree, we believe this is the real medicine, and we hope to share it with you.
