Practice Specialties
At Elle Acupuncture & Wellness, we focus on key areas of health, but our treatments extend far beyond these specialties, addressing a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional imbalances. For a more comprehensive list of conditions we treat, visit our What We Treat page.
Emotional Health
Chronic stress and emotional strain don’t just affect your mind—they can take a serious toll on your overall health. When stress becomes chronic, it can prevent your body from healing and create physical imbalances. Acupuncture helps heal the nervous system, creating space for both emotional and physical healing to happen. By supporting your emotional health, treatments can help unlock the body’s full ability to recover and thrive.
Fertility & Postpartum
Preparing your body for pregnancy is important—whether you're trying to conceive naturally or with some extra help. Acupuncture can help balance the reproductive system, and get you ready for this important stage. After birth, the healing process is often overlooked, but is so crucial. Postpartum care consults help you understand how to heal - taking care of yourself during this time sets the foundation for long-term health and well-being.
Pediatric Acupuncture
Yes, children can receive acupuncture too! Pediatric treatments are tailored specifically for little ones, often involving gentle techniques that differ from adult sessions. This approach can be especially beneficial for common childhood concerns such as digestive issues, sleep disturbances, or even emotional health. Teens, too, can find relief from stress, anxiety, and mood imbalances during this crucial time in their development.
Chronic & Autoimmune
Living with chronic or autoimmune conditions can feel overwhelming, but acupuncture offers a gentle way to support your body’s healing. It's not just about managing symptoms—acupuncture can directly address these conditions by promoting balance and restoring the body’s natural functions. Whether it’s reducing inflammation, easing pain, or calming your system, acupuncture works to support deep, lasting healing
