Island Acupuncture opened its doors in 2001. We are committed to providing quality healthcare to our community. Island Acupuncture is the only healthcare practice in the Outer Banks that specializes in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is a family of traditional medical techniques, some of which are thousands of years old. We believe that the future of optimal health care lies in the integration of more traditional complementary approaches with modern western medical approaches.

All services are provided by a North Carolina State Licensed (NCALB) and National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine certified acupuncturist (NCCAOM). Our licensed acupuncturist holds a Master of Science Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and attended an accredited acupuncture college in the United States, with training in Acupuncture, Trigger Point Dry Needling, Herbal prescriptions, and Western medical assessment.

Our goal at Island Acupuncture is to relieve your symptoms and address the root cause of the problem in the most effective and timely manner possible.

Faq
Report
Acupuncture is a deeply relaxing and transformative healing art.
Acupuncture serves as a powerful tool for accessing your body's unique and innate ability to heal itself.
At Island Acupuncture we focus on 3 priorities.
The first priority is to relieve your pain or symptom.
The second is to address the root cause.
The third priority, and sometimes the most important, is a preventative, wellness or maintenance program.
Stress is one of the major causative factors in many illnesses and diseases.
One of the many ways acupuncture works is by strengthening the body and lessening the impact of stress on the body.
