Acupuncture in Wilmington
If you’re curious about acupuncture or you’re not ready for chiropractic, this is a calm, effective path to relief. At Simple Well Being, LLC, Dr. Amanda Keates offers acupuncture as a stand-alone service for pain, digestion, fertility support, and overall wellness. Patients appreciate her grounded approach and plans that fit real life. Many come for gentle care that respects modesty and time.
How Dr. Keates Practices Acupuncture
Dr. Keates is certified through the chiropractic board to perform acupuncture with 200 hours of training; she is not a licensed acupuncturist. She currently practices Traditional Chinese acupuncture and is transitioning to a Japanese style.
When helpful, she may add moxibustion, which is gentle herbal heat to warm and stimulate points, or cupping, which uses light suction to loosen tight tissue and improve circulation. Ear seeds are available for home care; she does not offer acupressure. When appropriate, your plan can be coordinated with chiropractic, applied kinesiology, or functional nutrition for whole-person results.
What Conditions Does Acupuncture Help?
Patients visit for many concerns, and acupuncture can support the body’s own healing for issues such as:
- Musculoskeletal pain, including back, neck, and shoulder discomfort
- Digestive issues such as bloating or reflux
- Fertility support and preconception care
- VA-referred musculoskeletal complaints for veterans
- Headaches and neck tension
- Erectile dysfunction; intimate-area needling is typically not required
What to Expect: Safe, Helpful Care
Your first visit includes a focused intake and needling the same day. Please wear loose clothing that allows access to your arms and to your knees and above; no full undressing is required. Sessions are typically 45 minutes or less.
Acute problems are often scheduled about two times per week for roughly four weeks, then once weekly, while wellness and chronic care may settle into monthly or every-few-weeks visits.
If you take anticoagulants or have special considerations, we will talk through safety; veterans can use VA referrals here, and modesty garments are available when needed.
