About Acupuncture

Acupuncture originated in China about 5,000 years ago. Practitioners treat the person as an integrated whole in body, mind and spirit, and seek to remedy the root cause of illness, not only the symptoms.

UHS offers acupuncture services through its specialty clinic, located on the lower level of the health center.

Services are by appointment; call (413) 577-6511.
