The theory and practice of acupuncture originated in China over two thousand years ago as a method to promote health and help people heal from disease. It is one component of the larger medical system known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points to stimulate the body to heal itself through a combination of energetic and physiological means.
The use of Chinese herbs as medicine has the same long history as acupuncture does. Chinese "herbs" are actually comprised of plant, animal and mineral substances. Today in China there are literally thousands of substances used for medicinal purposes, although most herbalists in this country utilize several hundred different substances.
WellPoint offers psychological counseling services on-site. The following providers don't work for WellPoint, but they are trusted affiliates and we often collaborate to serve our patients' highest needs. We are so fortunate to have them as part of the WellPoint family. Both Mike Remshard and Karen Levinson offer counseling services at WellPoint. They handle their own own scheduling, so please contact them directly via the info found below.
Acupuncture is generally a very safe procedure with minimal side effects. Occasionally there may be bruising at the site of needle insertion. Mild soreness may be felt after treatment but this will usually dissipate within a few hours. We only use sterilized, single-use, disposable needles. At your initial visit we will thoroughly discuss your health history and other pertinent information. As part of the examination, your practitioner may feel your radial pulse, look at your tongue and palpate other parts of your body.

I went to see Teresa. She spent over an hour speaking to me, which made me feel good. It was necessary to treat me. I wont be returning simply because it's important to know what's being put in my body and Teresa did not discuss that with me. She just gave me a formula to take and instructed me on how to take it. My goal was to have ongoing treatment but not at the expense of not knowing what I am being given. Having control over what's being put in my body is vital for me.

I've never been given any medicine without knowing what I am taking and I won't start. I also didn't feel confident that she really understood what was going on with me or had any knowledge about my diagnosis. I pay attention to everything from the time I walk in to the time I leave and expect a certain type of service.

I have had consistently good experiences with WellPoint. Adam has worked with me remotely to prepare and adjust an herbal remedy for many months now and has always been patient, knowledgeable and helpful. Most importantly, he has been effective in crafting a treatment for my particular needs. I recommend WellPoint highly.

As a 68 yr old lady, after a hit & run in 91 my back got worst, I hardly was able or do anything, not stand straight, but on the first visit Mrs, T. Tat, did a miracle, I was able to walk straight & hardly felt no pain, if I know then, what I know now, I would had gone to an accupunturist sooner, THANKS TERESA, I RECOMEND A VISIT, ,,Y OU A MIRACLE WORKER!

Teresa is an expert at her craft. My visits have helped me immensely and I have always felt very comfortable there. Maya at the front desk is a pleasure as well. I highly recommend this office to everyone.

Adam is an exceptional acupuncturist very knowledgeable in sports injuries. I had a shoulder rotator cuff injury, tendinitis around the elbows and inflammation of my right knee. All areas have healed without invasive procedures. The facility is modest yet well appointed. The staff are personable.

I went to see Adam for knee pain from a recent injury. Within a couple of treatments my pain was gone. Then he was able to help me with my chronic headaches. Adam was able to explain what he was doing in a clear way. He really knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend WellPoint Acupuncture enough. Teresa has helped me so much, and I've had a lot of acupuncture over the years. My first appointment lasted about 90 min and she really took the time to go over my history and listened to what I was hoping to get out of the sessions. I've been seeing her weekly ever since!

Wow!.What a great and wonderful experience. I came to Wellpoint in December of 2012. I had just found out that my insurance, Health Partners, pays for treatment. Because it was the end of the year I had the opportunity to visit many times in a week to use up my visits. My acupuncturist, Teresa is very knowledgeable as well as kind. I was treated for common things associated with Diabetes, mostly high blood sugar, and food cravings.

I was also menopausal and was having crazy hot flashes. Teresa treated me for all of them and even has reversed my menopause! I didn't even know that was possible. Since my visits i have lost 15 pounds, no longer suffer from hot flashes or mood swings and I no longer crave sugary foods. She also treats me for symptoms related to a recent Sinus surgery and those symptoms have improved tremendously.

As things comes to mind, I mention and she relieves them right away. I have seen results after the 1st visit. Acupuncture can be used for relief from the simplest thing. The office is clean and professional and after each session I leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. I would recommend Wellpoint Oriental Medicine to anyone who is in pain, or has ongoing problems in the body. It works wonders. They sell Chinese Herbs too. Good people!

I met Adam and Teresa in June 2011 when I walked into their office and almost burst into tears. I had been seeing doctors and therapists for the previous four years for a variety of sports-related injuries, and had experienced little to no improvement. I knew nothing about acupuncture at the time but was confused, in pain and had nothing to lose. The injuries included a torn hamstring tendon that was initially misdiagnosed by an MD in 2007 and that led to extensive back, hip and knee pain, as well as a torn ligament in one shoulder and severe muscle tightness in the other. Walking into their office that day and subsequently making my first appointment with Adam turned out to be life-changing.

I experienced improvement within weeks and physically felt like a new person within the first two months of treatment. I was able to return to competitive rowing under Adam's care, and the chronic pain I had been living with for years started to disappear! I was truly amazed by acupuncture's positive effects and only wish I had known about it as a treatment option sooner. Adam proved an amazing person to work with.

He was the first health care provider who truly listened to how I had been feeling, as well as the first to help me make sense of my symptoms. I cannot overstate the depth of his patience, attention, knowledge and care. I saw Teresa a handful of times as well. She was equally as thoughtful and skilled. I would recommend them both to anyone in need of medical help or advice, or to those simply looking to improve their overall well-being.

During a recent workout at the gym, I severely injured my lower back. I had pain in my back and shooting pains running down my legs. I was forced to miss several days of work until a close friend of mine who had a similar back injury referred me to Adam, from WellPoint. During my initial visit, Adam provided a comprehensive examination and was able to pinpoint the source of my discomfort and put me on a treatment plan that worked to perfection.

I was able to return to work (and the gym) in no time. I continue to visit WellPoint on a regular basis and have never felt better. I highly recommend WellPoint to anyone who is looking for a cure to their nagging injury.

Great place, great people, second to none care. I came here with lots of muscle tension and pain due mostly to computer use and ergonomics at work. I am now pain free and have noticed a lot of improvement in many other areas as well. If you have never been treated with acupuncture before, this is a perfect place to do so because Adam will explain everything to you with the utmost patience. I would also suggest you try the honey, made by his very own bees. You will not regret.

Wellpoint is great. 3 out of 5 members of the family are going to see both Adam and Teresa. Everyone has had a great improvement in condition treated and overall wellbeing. Since I have seen Adam 4-5 times, my energy level has been very stable, mood and digestion is much better. Teresa saw my son one time and she was wonderful with him and even one treatment plus medicine she prescribed had a positive effects so far with his mild intermittent asthma.
