Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a safe, time-honored practice that helps restore your body’s natural balance. By promoting the smooth flow of qi (pronounced “chee”), improving circulation, and calming the nervous system, it supports your body’s own healing. Patients often feel more than symptom relief—experiencing renewed energy, calm, and overall well-being.

  • "Long overdue review for genuinely the best healthcare I have ever received!"

    I started coming to Galen Wilson Acupuncture after over a year of intense knee pain from running. I’d done physical therapy and seen three different primary care doctors and the pain just got worse. Within two appointments, Galen knew that it wasn’t what the other doctors were telling me was the problem. His care helped relieve my knee pain - I’m finally running again! I left with no knee pain and a greater understanding of how to prevent future injuries.

  • "I was suffering (and I mean in terrible shape) from hip joint pain, low back pain, and very intense sciatic pain."

    I saw Dr. Galen for orthopedic needling…I had tried more traditional in the past without nearly as much benefit…This treatment helped so much. I couldn’t find anything that would provide relief besides some from steroid injections - but it would not last. The needling and corrective exercises he taught me have me back to doing what I love!

    -Jasper M.

  • "I highly recommend Galen!"

    I have been receiving treatments from him consistently over the past few months for several health issues including insomnia, lingering COVID symptoms, and chronic pain and have had very positive results. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, and has a terrific bedside manner making you feel comfortable, heard and cared for. I have been to many acupuncturists over the years and Galen is truly one of the best!

    -M.O.

  • "I have seen other acupuncturists before and no one has treated me as well as Galen has."

    He truly cares for his patients and it shows through his treatment. I have had severe back problems my whole life and Galen has provided a well rounded approach to treating the source of my pain. In addition to my physical injuries, Galen has helped remedy my mental health as well as digestive problems through his treatment.
