Introduction to Acupuncture & Wholistic Care

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to influence circulation, calm the nervous system, and encourage the body’s natural healing response. Patients commonly notice improvements in pain, sleep, digestion, and mood, along with a sense of relaxation during and after each session. Chiropractic care complements acupuncture by addressing the spine and joints, restoring alignment and mobility so the body can function the way it is designed to. At Gardens Wholistic Health Center, we integrate these therapies with targeted nutrition and lifestyle recommendations for care that is comprehensive yet simple to follow.

Dr. Bill Rice combines more than over four decades of experience of trusted local service with advanced training across multiple disciplines. His credentials include Doctor of Chiropractic, Licensed Acupuncturist, Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition, and Fellow of the American Chiropractic College of Nutrition. This depth allows us to look at your health through multiple lenses and choose the approach that best serves your goals.

Why Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care Matter

Pain and stress are two of the most common reasons people seek care. Long periods of sitting, repetitive movements, old injuries, and daily pressures can overload the body’s systems. Acupuncture helps balance this response by moderating stress hormones and promoting circulation, while chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint mechanics so muscles do not have to compensate. Together, they help you move better, sleep better, and think more clearly. For women and couples exploring fertility support, acupuncture can be a gentle ally alongside medical care. For athletes, combining adjustments with acupuncture and cupping can speed recovery between workouts and help prevent future strain.

How Gardens Wholistic Health Center Can Help

From there, Dr. Rice outlines a step-by-step plan that may include:

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Your first appointment focuses on clarity and comfort. After completing your intake forms, you will meet one-on-one with Dr. Rice to review your health background and discuss what a successful outcome looks like for you. We perform a careful exam to find the root contributors to your symptoms, then explain our findings in plain language. If appropriate, you may receive your first treatment the same day. Before you leave, you will know how many visits are recommended for the initial phase, what each visit includes, and how to support your progress at home. Our office is known for running on time, with a welcoming environment and straightforward communication at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many acupuncture or chiropractic visits will I need?

    Plans vary by condition and goals. Many patients notice meaningful changes within the first few sessions. We reassess regularly and adjust frequency as you improve.

  • Does acupuncture hurt?

    Most people feel little to no discomfort. Sensations may include a light tap, warmth, tingling, or heaviness. Many patients relax so deeply they rest during the session.

  • Is chiropractic care safe?

    When performed by a trained clinician, chiropractic adjustments are considered safe and effective. We tailor technique to your age, history, and comfort, and we always explain before we begin.

  • Can I combine acupuncture and chiropractic in the same visit?

    Yes. Many patients benefit from pairing the two for faster relief and longer-lasting results. Your plan is customized to your needs.

  • Do you accept my insurance?

    Medicare DOES NOT cover acupuncture in my office. I accept most insurance for chiropractic care, including Medicare, but coverage is more limited for acupuncture.
