​How many treatments are needed before experiencing relief?

Most patients will feel relief between 1-8 treatment sessions. Generally we ask clients to come once per week for 5-10 weeks, depending on the severity of your chief complaint.  For many conditions you will notice results right away, and for other complex conditions it may take up to 5 treatments to begin seeing change. 


​How much does it cost?

Our rates: initial evaluation and each treatment is $70. Since one treatment may not allow us to reach your health goals, we have package rates: 
  • $300 for 5 treatments = $60 per session
  • ​Wellness exam and treatment = $70 per session.

We do not bill insurance companies for services. Please inquire about discounts available to students or those in financial hardship.


​What is a wellness exam and treatment?

Health is "a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - World Health Organization (WHO). Staying healthy takes maintenance and constant upkeep, like any machine. Our bodies are constantly aging, degenerating, exposed to external factors, stress, damaging emotional factors, and what we put into our bodies (diet). A wellness exam with InBalance AcuPT can reveal muscle weaknesses, anatomical restrictions, movement dysfunctions, and lifestyle mismanagement.  We treat with manual therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy, and lifestyle consultation to make sure your health is In Balance! Keeping your health in balance can prevent physical injury, optimize immune system, minimize degeneration, stabilize mood, and contribute to your happiness. Depending on the state of your health, wellness treatment may be required once a month, quarterly, biannually, or annually.
