Acupuncture Associates is an acupuncture practice in Kingsport that takes an integrative, results-conscious approach to care. Under new ownership, the practice positions acupuncture as a natural complement to conventional medicine and focuses especially on pain conditions while also addressing broader health concerns through traditional Chinese medicine. Its care emphasizes identifying underlying patterns rather than only relieving symptoms, with the goal of restoring function and improving how the body works. The practice also stresses practicality and safety, using sterilized needles that are discarded after use and acknowledging that some patients, including those with bleeding disorders or taking blood thinners, may need additional consideration. Its overall approach is measured and pragmatic, with attention to whether treatment is helping within the first few visits.
