We offer acupuncture at The $35 Chiropractor in Queen Creek, Arizona. Acupuncture here means a clinical treatment using sterile, single use needles placed into specific points to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension and support recovery alongside chiropractic care.
What acupuncture includes
Our acupuncture sessions include a focused intake, a physical and movement assessment, a treatment plan that fits your goals, the needle treatment and clear aftercare instructions. Treatments can be standalone or combined with chiropractic adjustments, massage or other therapies when appropriate.
We follow standard needle safety and infection control practices. If you want details on how we handle needle safety, read our page on needle safety.
Who benefits from acupuncture

We tailor the approach for each person based on their movement, pain pattern and treatment goals.

- Support for headache and neck pain management
- Non opioid option for chronic pain management
- Can be integrated with chiropractic adjustments and massage for broader recovery
Our process for acupuncture
- Initial intake. We review your health history, current symptoms and any medications or implants to check for contraindications.
- Assessment. We perform a physical and movement assessment to identify tension patterns, restricted joints and areas that will guide point selection.
- Treatment plan. We explain the proposed point selection, session length and how acupuncture fits with other care options such as chiropractic adjustments or physical therapy.
- Treatment session. You rest on the treatment table while we place sterile, single use needles. Needles are left in place for a prescribed time while we monitor comfort and response.
- Aftercare and follow up. We provide simple advice for activity, hydration and symptom tracking. We arrange follow up visits as needed to adjust the plan based on progress.
Pro tip: Bring loose clothing or shorts so we can access the area being treated, and allow time after the session to notice how your body responds before strenuous activity.
What good acupuncture work looks like
Good work produces a gradual reduction in pain or tension, improved movement, and clear next steps. Sessions focus on measurable changes in range of motion and symptom reports. We document findings and adjust the plan if you do not improve as expected.
Why choose The $35 Chiropractor for acupuncture
We provide acupuncture as part of a broader musculoskeletal care approach that can include chiropractic adjustments and other therapies. That integrated view helps when pain has multiple contributors, such as restricted joints and tight soft tissue. Our team explains how acupuncture fits with other options so you understand the rationale for each treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel minimal discomfort when a needle is inserted. Needles are very thin and insertion is brief. Many patients report a dull ache or deep pressure at points, and some feel relaxed or sleepy during the session.
Is acupuncture safe?
When performed with sterile, single use needles and standard infection control, acupuncture is safe for most people. We screen for medical conditions and medications that may increase risk and modify treatment accordingly. For more on our safety practices, see the needle safety topic.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the condition, duration of symptoms and how you respond. Acute problems often need fewer visits, while chronic issues typically need a plan of multiple treatments with periodic reassessment.
Can acupuncture be combined with chiropractic adjustments?
Yes. Many patients receive acupuncture together with adjustments or soft tissue work to address both joint function and muscle tension. We plan combined care so each treatment complements the other.
Are there conditions where acupuncture is not recommended?
We do not perform acupuncture in areas with active skin infection, over certain implants without clearance, or when bleeding risk is high. We will discuss alternatives and coordinate care with your medical providers when needed.
