How Acupuncture Works
If you have never tried acupuncture before, it is natural to have questions, especially about the needles. Here is what actually happens when you receive an acupuncture treatment, explained in plain terms.
When an acupuncture needle is inserted, the body recognizes it and responds by directing blood flow to the area. That increase in circulation brings oxygen, nutrients, and immune system activity to the tissue, which helps address the problem locally. At the same time, the nervous system responds by releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers, which creates the deep sense of relaxation that acupuncture is known for.
There is also a neurological component. Research using MRI imaging has shown that acupuncture affects the brain's perception of pain, which helps explain why patients often experience relief not just at the needle site but in areas throughout the body.
The result is a treatment that works on multiple levels at once: reducing inflammation, relieving pain, calming the nervous system, and allowing the body to shift out of stress mode and into a more restorative state. That is why acupuncture is effective for such a wide range of conditions, not just pain, but also stress, sleep, fertility, and more.
Conditions We Treat with Acupuncture
Acupuncture is effective for a broader range of conditions than most people realize. Our licensed acupuncturists treat patients for both pain-related and non-pain-related conditions, and in many cases acupuncture can be combined with chiropractic care or massage therapy for a more complete treatment approach.
Fertility acupuncture is a particular area of expertise at our practice. Dr. Jeon has advanced specialized training in fertility support and works closely with patients who are trying to conceive, undergoing IVF, or dealing with hormonal imbalances.
If fertility is your primary concern, we encourage you to learn more on our dedicated fertility acupuncture page.
Learn More About Fertility Acupuncture
Fertility Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been shown to support reproductive health in a number of meaningful ways, and fertility acupuncture is one of the most sought after services at our practice.
Dr. Jeon has advanced specialized training in this area and works with patients who are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for or currently undergoing IVF or IUI, dealing with a frozen embryo transfer, or managing conditions that affect fertility such as PCOS, endometriosis, irregular cycles, high FSH, or hormonal imbalances.
Acupuncture supports fertility by improving circulation to the reproductive organs, reducing stress, and helping to regulate hormonal function. Many patients find that it complements their existing medical treatment plan and provides meaningful relief from the emotional and physical toll that fertility challenges can bring.
If fertility is your primary concern, we encourage you to contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jeon.
What Makes Our Acupuncture Different
If you have looked into acupuncture before, you may have come across offices offering discounted cash rates with quick in-and-out sessions. That model exists and it works for some people. But it is not what we do here, and the difference is significant.
Private Rooms
Every acupuncture session at Stiso Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Massage Therapy takes place in a private room with individual lighting and music tailored to your comfort. You are never in an open room with other patients, and you never have to limit your treatment to only the areas that are accessible through your clothing. Your session is completely yours.
Session Length
Our acupuncture sessions run 45 to 75 minutes. That is not an accident. Effective acupuncture takes time. The needles need to stay in place long enough for the body to respond fully, and rushing that process produces inferior results. We do not run you through in 20 minutes and move on to the next patient.
Multiple Styles
Our acupuncturists are trained in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean acupuncture styles, allowing them to tailor the approach to your specific condition and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all technique.
Cupping
We also offer cupping therapy, which uses suction to increase circulation, release muscle tension, and support the body's natural recovery process. Cupping is often used alongside acupuncture as part of a comprehensive treatment session.
Chinese Herbal Counseling
For patients who are interested in a more holistic approach, our acupuncturists offer Chinese herbal counseling to complement their acupuncture treatment plan.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a natural, non-surgical approach to reducing the visible signs of aging. By inserting fine needles at specific points on the face, the treatment stimulates collagen production, improves local circulation, and helps tone and firm the skin over time.
Patients often notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin elasticity, and a more youthful appearance.
Unlike surgical or chemical alternatives, facial rejuvenation acupuncture works with the body's own natural processes. It is painless, requires no downtime, and can be combined with a broader acupuncture treatment plan for results that address both appearance and overall wellbeing.
