Tuina utilizes brisk and invigorating movement techniques such as plucking, kneading, rolling, and tapping to decrease pain, harmonize the meridians and promote the smooth flow of Qi and Blood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492366319-ZSWP5WUSVR2YM54JWPPT/cupping.jpg Tuina / Cupping - Cupping Therapy With cupping therapy, a vacuum is created inside a glass ball or “cup” then the cup is then applied to the skin. This suction increases local blood circulation tremendously and stimulates the body’s healing response. Cupping is highly effective technique of TCM that is sometimes included in a treatment plan. We also offer cupping as a stand-alone procedure. https://www.whacupuncture.com/acupuncture daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368825-AEUJCLABM2UW6IQFMV5O/needles_bowl.jpg Acupuncture - Acupuncture The insertion of hair-thin sterile needles into specific points on the body is known as acupuncture. This treatment stimulates a strong anti-inflammatory response and increases blood flow to injured or compromised tissues, muscles, joints, and organs. Research shows that the body releases endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine during acupuncture, while also supporting healthy immune function. In simple terms, acupuncture helps activate the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Although acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, it remains highly effective for many modern health conditions. Treatments at Acorn Acupuncture are safe, relaxing, and provided by board-certified, licensed acupuncturists in a calm, comfortable, and professional environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368832-OH3IWP2D7ROG3OBX2IRX/TUINA.jpg Acupuncture - Tuina Massage Tuina is a form of traditional Chinese medical massage that uses pressure along the acupuncture meridians to promote healing, improve circulation, and relieve pain. Tuina therapy is invigorating and works on both the muscles and the internal systems of the body using techniques such as rocking, kneading, scrubbing, plucking, and tapping. Tuina is taught as part of formal training in Chinese Medicine, and many licensed acupuncturists use it to enhance the effects of acupuncture treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368838-6Z8BM2PI86R96HBJ3D1W/cupping.jpg Acupuncture - Cupping Cupping is a manual therapy often used to relieve pain, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tension. It became widely recognized during the 2016 Olympics when swimmer Michael Phelps competed for Team USA with visible cupping marks on his shoulders. Today, many professional athletes and performers use cupping to help with muscle recovery, strain, and overall physical performance. In addition to treating muscle and joint pain, cupping is also used in East Asian Medicine to support lung and immune function. It is commonly used for cough, congestion, and respiratory conditions, and has long been used worldwide for both adults and children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368846-ASO4ID9GCFUXTVEHDT6C/guasha2.jpeg Acupuncture - Guasha Gua sha has gained recent popularity for facial lifting and smoothing, however it has been used to break down painful adhesions, knots, and sore muscles for thousands of years. It is classically performed with a tool like Chinese soup spoon or a flat piece of jade that is “scraped” along sore muscles or scar tissue to create therapeutic inflammation. Dr Jill says that just like cupping “it feels better than it looks!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368852-IWHBTHN6ULCDOU56ZM8F/herbal.jpg Acupuncture - Herbal Medicine Licensed acupuncturists complete years of training at accredited schools, earning a Master’s or Doctorate in Acupuncture or East Asian Medicine, and must pass national board examinations. At Acorn Acupuncture, we often recommend herbal medicine as part of your treatment plan when appropriate. We carry only high-quality, professional-grade herbal formulas that we trust and use ourselves. Herbal therapy can be combined with acupuncture or used as a stand-alone treatment, and herbal consultations may be scheduled even if you are not receiving acupuncture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368859-3NESE6XJ1M3T09JBJOLD/food.png Acupuncture - Nutrition TEAM recognizes the importance of five flavors: sour, salty, sweet, pungent (spicy), and bitter. Balance among these flavors is considered essential for good health, and each flavor is associated with a different organ system in the body. Food cravings can sometimes give your practitioner insight into areas of imbalance. Your acupuncturist can provide individualized TEAM dietary recommendations to help support healing and restore balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492368867-VW5DDLTHBV4RECQT3M96/qigong2.jpeg Acupuncture - Exercise In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), therapeutic exercise often includes Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Many healing traditions recognize that gentle, regular movement can help prevent pain and stiffness while supporting both physical and mental well-being. Tai Chi and Qi Gong are especially valued because they combine slow movement, breathing, and meditation to improve circulation, reduce stress, and nourish the body’s energy. Try it!

Acupuncture can cause you to feel relaxed, warm, and tingly. Acupuncture treatment series typically consist of 12-20 visits for a chief complaint, but some issues resolve more quickly and other people choose to continue treatment to manage chronic conditions. Studies show acupuncture to increase production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and seratonin, it stimulates production of immune globulins, white blood cells, and acupuncture can block pain receptors. Our acupuncturists have some of the most extensive training of any you’ll find in the state. In Connecticut, acupuncture can be legally performed by a number of different health care providers. When choosing an acupuncturist, it is important to make sure you are making an informed decision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492372344-HCC0OHGT0NNDB94X2FGS/unnamed-10.jpg Services - Cupping Therapy Ever since Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was spotted (no pun intended) at the 2016 Rio Olympics with cupping marks all over his back and shoulders, there has been a great deal of interest in this therapeutic procedure. Cupping therapy is another highly effective technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine that is sometimes included in a treatment plan, and we now offer cupping as a stand-alone procedure. With cupping therapy, a vacuum is created inside a glass ball or “cup” and the cup is then applied to the skin. This increases local blood circulation tremendously and stimulates the body’s healing response. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492372350-ETPL1JBZEZ4OW6DPRZ2V/unnamed-7.jpg Services - Herbal Medicine Chinese Herbal medicine is often an important part of an effective treatment plan. When many people think of herbal medicine, they think of taking a single herb for a specific health problem (e.g., Saint John’s Wort for depression or Turmeric for inflammation). However, in Chinese herbal medicine, herbs are generally prescribed in a formula which can be a combination of up to 20 different substances. These herbs work as a team to address the a chief complaint. For example, if 10 different patients came for migraines, they might be prescribed 10 separate herbal formulas. Chinese medicine recognizes many types of headaches with a different root cause to each. In addition a formula for knee pain would have very different herbs in it than a formula for neck pain. We understand that some people do not wish to include herbs in their treatment, and respect their choice. https://www.whacupuncture.com/insurance daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492373129-18JCCR9CK7V05BYG9TFL/unnamed-10.jpg Insurance https://www.whacupuncture.com/our-team daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492374547-FZBR34EH212OAPDF8O41/jill+pic.jpg Our Team - Dr. Jill Kleiber, L.Ac, D.Ac Email: jill@WHacupuncture.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c49ac7463ac54c9314ad84/1774492374553-GGEM42SWE8DOK9TIXD1X/MaryBrick1.jpg Our Team - Mary Cole, L.Ac.

He was always available for “therapeutic” belly rubs and was often found napping in treatment rooms or supervising the front desk. Although he liked to act aloof, Boshi knew he was the boss. He made Acorn Acupuncture a joyful place and will be remembered fondly by everyone who met him. Happy trails, Boshi. You are missed.
