If you're dealing with pain, limited mobility, or lingering tension that just won’t quit, acupuncture might not be the first solution that comes to mind—but it should be. At Rooted Rose, we use a targeted, evidence-based approach to help your body recover, adapt, and move with greater ease.

Our treatments are designed to support real change—not just temporary relief.

when you arrive

You’ll step into a quiet, low-key space that doesn’t feel clinical—more like a pause in your day. There’s no formal waiting room or reception desk. Just a gentle greeting and a place to land.

Your Intake

If it’s your first visit, we’ll begin with a focused conversation about what’s been showing up in your body and your life. This isn’t a rushed intake or a checklist—it’s a dialog. We’ll listen closely to your goals, patterns, and concerns.

For musculoskeletal issues—such as low back pain, hip imbalances, shoulder dysfunction, or chronic tension—we may include a short series of orthopaedic assessments and manual muscle testing. These hands-on evaluations help us assess muscle strength, joint function, and possible nerve involvement, guiding a more precise treatment strategy.

DUring treatment

Acupuncture needles are placed with care and precision. Some you’ll barely feel. Others might bring a brief dull ache or a twitching sensation.

There’s nothing you need to do during treatment. Some people rest, others meditate, some simply drift. This quiet resting period is often where the shift begins—your body moves into parasympathetic repair mode. You might fall asleep. You might feel sensations change. Or you might just feel still and at peace. Whatever unfolds, most people leave feeling subtly but unmistakably different.

After the Session

After treatment, you might feel lighter, more grounded, or deeply tired. You may notice a change right away—or a quiet absence of pain or static later that evening. Everyone responds differently. Some shifts are immediate, others are cumulative.

We’ll check in at each session to track progress, re-evaluate patterns, and adjust your treatment accordingly. Your care plan is shaped collaboratively—at a pace and frequency that fits your needs, goals, and budget.

Looking forward to taking excellent care of you and supporting your recovery.
