Stokes Acupuncture

I’ve been going to Stokes now for a couple of months, and it has been a huge help to me. I suffer from chronic back problems, and I had decided to try acupuncture as a way to manage the pain. I also found that it has helped me manage a myriad of other smaller ailments, and I feel so much better after my treatments.
I see Christine (Not sure if that’s the right spelling– sorry!) and she has been great! She has a calming effect on me, and that’s good, because I’m sometimes a little too worked up. I really appreciate the Chinese massage that accompanies the acupuncture. When I leave I feel nice and relaxed and pain free.
They do accept some insurances, so take advantage of that if you can. It has made the decision for me so much easier!
Their location is also perfect for me — right off 104 in Webster. I usually make my appointments in the evening and can go after work on my way hope. Super convenient.
Initially I was wary of acupuncture, but then you experience things in life that make you open up to something different. I’m not happy about pain, but I’m happy that I was able to find a place that has helped me manage it and feel more normal, balanced, and healthy. I highly recommend checking out Stokes Acupuncture!

I agree fully with Brianna. Heather makes you feel comfortable. The rooms are warm with optional music. I don’t feel the needles at all and are as thin as a piece of hair! She is fantastic at what she does. I just can’t afford to go as frequently as I’d like. I would go weekly if I could!

I’m acupuncture’s newest best friend. I tell everyone I know that it’s one of the best things you can do for your body. It has helped so much with my overall health, balance, stress relief and a past knee injury. I do yoga often and consider the two to go hand in hand. It’s a great way to let go of life’s normal stresses and meditate or try to rest your thoughts during your visit.
I first tried out acupuncture after hearing from a friend that it helped her so much with stress reduction and relaxation. I thought hey, might as well try it out. I was apprehensive to pay out of pocket full price so I went with a Groupon/​Living Social deal. I started back in October and have been going on the regular ever since.
Heather is the owner and acupuncturist. I love her — she’s friendly and sweet, makes you feel comfortable, and knows her stuff when it comes to any question you might have about your body and if acupuncture can help (it usually can). I always feel wonderful after my treatments and my knee pain is virtually gone now. Many health insurance plans allow for half price treatments for a certain number of visits, which makes it much more cost effective. Heather can answer those questions too.
Also, the rooms are cozy and warm. You have the option to listen to soothing music, which I prefer to drown out other sounds and it’s good white noise. She often has an additional heat lamp going. I believe it helps to accelerate the release of heat from whatever area is causing you trouble (in my case my knee). For those of you fearing needles, these are nothing. They are about the thickness of a strand of hair so you barely feel anything. What you will feel is relaxed and relieved of pain afterward. When I have a tricky spot that’s been problematic, it will feel tingly as the needles unblock the acupuncture point. Trust me on this, it’s amazing. I highly recommend it!
