Today is an amazing milestone for us, as we are celebrating 5 years of service to our wonderful patients on September 20th, 2015. We weren’t sure if we were completely crazy trying to take something like this on. But, now, in retrospect, we couldn’t imagine a more fulfilling “job” to go to each day. We have had the opportunity to get to know our surrounding community and to help them the best that we can. We did a count of how many treatments we have done in this time, and it came out to approximately 60,000 treatments! Based on the average amount of needles we use, 15-20, that comes close to 1,000,000 needles. Thank you all for your support, and letting us be a part of your health and wellness.
We are taking Urban Acupuncture Center mobile to your workplace to focus on community style acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, increase energy and concentration, and boost the immune system. Our corporate wellness programs help promote healthier and happier employees and decrease likelihood of sick leave. Acupuncture serves as a tailored approach to help each and every of your employees (or clients) reach their health and wellness goals.
What Does On-Site Community Acupuncture Look Like?
• A quiet, communal space (conference room, lounge area, etc.) with adequate chairs is all we need.
• Employees relax in their chairs while acupuncture is administered in a community-style atmosphere.
• There is no need to disrobe – the acupuncture points needled are on the ear, hands/wrists, and feet/ankles.

About Matthew:
Upon arriving at the Ohio State University in 2006, I felt completely lost amongst the thousands of potential paths open to me. Through a whirlwind of self-exploration, music, spiritual investigation and other meaningful encounters, I knew that I had found my purpose as a healer. I resonated strongly with Chinese medicine’s big picture: the mind, body, and spirit as one whole; using logic, creativity, observation, intuition, and heart to bring balance. I want to live in a world where Eastern and Western medicine have put their guards down and become good friends, with the shared goal of benefitting humanity. Eastern medicine excels at promoting wellness and balance, while Western medicine is unrivaled in disaster management; with their forces combined we could have our cake and eat it too. Outside of acupuncture, I regularly practice a Chinese martial art called Baguazhang, which is the foundation of my internal cultivation. I nourish myself with good food, company, and art forms of many kinds. I have a great passion for music, the greatest healer of all. Nature has always been a source of comfort to me, when I feel like something’s missing I can usually take a step out into nature and feel at home again.
