About Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involving the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. It stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms by improving circulation, balancing the nervous system, and supporting internal organ function. When combined with modern Functional Medicine practices, acupuncture becomes a powerful tool to treat both symptoms and root causes, supporting healing from the inside out.
At Kore, we integrate acupuncture with personalized assessments to address pain, hormonal imbalances, stress-related issues, digestive concerns, and more. Every session is tailored to your unique story and health history — whether you're seeking support with fertility, mood, pain, or overall wellness.

FAQ
Who is acupuncture recommended for?
Acupuncture is highly versatile. It’s recommended for individuals experiencing pain (neck, back, joints, or nerve-related), hormonal concerns (like irregular cycles or perimenopause), sleep issues, digestive troubles (like IBS or bloating), and even emotional health challenges such as anxiety, PTSD, or burnout. It’s also supportive in fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel little to no pain during acupuncture. The needles are ultra-fine—much thinner than those used for injections—and are gently inserted. You may feel a light tingling, warmth, or a sense of heaviness, which indicates the body’s response to treatment.
How many sessions do I need?
Your treatment plan will be customized based on your condition and goals. Some people feel benefits after just 1-2 sessions, while others need a series of weekly treatments for deeper or long-term concerns. Dr. Walter will discuss a plan that fits your needs.
Do I need to be an existing patient?
You don’t need to be a current Kore patient to book acupuncture. Your initial appointment will be an in-depth consultation with Dr. Walter to ensure safety, appropriateness, and maximum effectiveness of treatment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
To ensure you're comfortable and get the most out of your session, we recommend:
• Loose-fitting clothing like t-shirts, yoga pants, sweatpants, or shorts
• Clothing with sleeves or pant legs that can be easily rolled up
• Layers, especially if you tend to get cold—acupuncture promotes relaxation, and warmth helps the process
We want you to feel completely at ease during your treatment, so wear what makes you feel relaxed and cozy!
