Less Pain, Lower Stress
Feel Your Best

Come Experience the Healing Power of Acupuncture

If you’re reading this, you’re probably not enjoying life as much as you’d like to be.

I get it. In my early 20’s I suffered from severe back pain – after years of athletics, my back was mess. And to be honest, my emotional health wasn’t all that great either.

Fortunately, I found Chinese medicine, acupuncture and martial arts, and they led to rapid healing of my back pain and reduced stress.

So perhaps you want your symptoms to go away, but other therapies or treatments haven’t delivered the results you were looking for.

Maybe medications offered some relief, but you’re concerned about side effects from long-term use.

Acupuncture offers the possibility of feeling better, enjoying life more, and leaving the pain behind – without the risks often associated with prescription medications and surgery.

I’m certainly glad I discovered that East Asian medicine worked for me. If your health problems are making it hard to enjoy life, acupuncture may be just the solution you’ve been looking for.

Why Acupuncture

Acupuncture is effective

It’s effective

With over 2000 years of use, it has stood the test of time.  Study after study has shown its usefulness across a wide range of conditions. And it’s often effective even when many other treatments have failed. 

Acupuncture is safe

It’s safe

Used by millions of people a year, with virtually no side-effects, acupuncture has proven to be one of the safest medical therapies available.

Acupuncture is natural

It’s natural

Skillful acupuncture treatment mobilizes and amplifies the innate healing ability of your body/mind.  It stimulates natural healing mechanisms that may not be functioning correctly when you are experiencing pain and disease.

Acupuncture feels good

It feels good

To the surprise of most acupuncture “newbies”, it is typical to feel relaxed, and even go to sleep, during an acupuncture treatment.  This is just one way acupuncture demonstrates its ability to normalize the functioning of the nervous system and restore balance.

Conditions Treated Olympia Acupuncture

Conditions Treated


Pain Management:
Alleviate acute and chronic pain without drugs or side-effects.  Acupuncture can increase production of your body’s natural pain killers, increase circulation to areas that need it, and reduce inflammation where it is too high.


Allergies:
Acupuncture can be very useful to regulate the immune system. Many patients find it can reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms.


Stress, Anxiety, Mental Health:
Stress causes or contributes to at least 75 percent of all chronic disease, and is a factor in 5 out of the 6 leading causes of death. Acupuncture is one way to break the stress cycle, and restore emotional balance.


Digestive Health:
Without a healthy digestive system, both your body and mind suffer. Acupuncture helps normalize digestive function, reduces gas, bloating and indigestion, and helps with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.


Sports Injury/Performance:
Whether you are a serious athlete or a weekend warrior, it’s likely you’ll injure yourself at some point. When those injuries linger, acupuncture can speed healing and restore function.


Motor Vehicle Accidents
When we are injured in a motor vehicle accident, there is not only pain from the physical trauma.

Testimonials

    I’ve had regular migraines for over 12 years – they began after the birth of my first daughter, and I’d have them a few times a month. They made my life miserable, and nothing I tried seemed to help.

    For some reason, Jim realized that the migraines might be tied in with the emotional trauma experienced during that birth. The Doctors and Nurses had been very uncompassionate during the birth, and forced me to take certain drugs and procedures against my wishes, so I felt like this precious time had been stolen from me.

    I’m still amazed, but since that one EFT session many months ago, I have not had a single migraine. What a blessing!

    “I’ve had back pain and sciatica on and off for years, as a result of herniated discs. Jim has been a great help. The pain and discomfort goes away after just a few treatments, and I’m able to go back to my daily activities. I highly recommend him. Plus, it’s always a pleasure to visit his office – the atmosphere of relaxation and healing is just wonderful.”

    “I’m so excited I had to share this news with you. I CAN WIGGLE MY TOES!!! I haven’t been able to do that for years. I was putting lotion on my legs last night and looked over to see myself wiggling my toes on the other foot. So, I wiggled all of them. I know this seems silly to you but it’s a major thing for me. I even called the boys into my room and showed them. They were impressed. I have you and acupuncture to thank. It’s so cool. Oh and the EFT is working well also. Woke in the middle of the night a few nights ago and had to do a session. Got me where I wanted and back to sleep. That too was pretty cool. Just wanted to tell you this before I forgot.”

    “Jim totally changed my life. He is extremely compassionate and listens (ok, this may be biased, but in my experience this isn’t always a guy’s strong suit). I was very apprehensive about seeing him, because I react to everything, and what is normal for someone else is over the top for my system. Jim totally understood. We tried the acupuncture needles first but they were too much. Jim worked at it until he found the right thing that really worked for my system… I didn’t realize there are other things besides needles acupuncturists can use.”

    “I was, to say the least, skeptical of the benefit of acupuncture. However, being in chronic pain, there wasn’t much to loose so I made an appointment. After only two visits, I’m sorry I didn’t try it 8 years ago. I can now manage the pain at will with no medication. Jim provided immediate help and gave me some simple pressure points to remove the pain for days at a time. I very heartily recommend trying this medical specialty.”

    “Although I still don’t really understand why it works, acupuncture has certainly been helpful for me. I have referred a number of patients to Jim, many of whom have gotten similar relief as I did. If you have a condition that you would like to try to treat with acupuncture, I would highly recommend Jim Stegenga as someone to discuss it with.”

    “I recommend Jim to my friends and relatives. We not only used acupuncture but other therapies such as Chinese herbs and acupressure. I now have less pain and stiffness in my arthritic finger joints; the chronic neck pain in my neck/shoulder is gone; my broken metatarsal (foot) healed and the pain is gone. I have benefited all three times that I was a client of Jim’s over aspan of 4 years.”
