Acupuncture
Ancient medicine. Proven results. Personalized for you.
WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is one of the world's oldest and most thoroughly studied medical systems — practiced for over 2,500 years across Asia and now recognized by the World Health Organization as an effective treatment for over 100 conditions.
At its core, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to restore the natural flow of Qi — your body's vital energy. When that flow is balanced, the body heals. When it's blocked or disrupted, pain, illness, and dysfunction follow.
At Evergreen Wellness, acupuncture is practiced by Dr. Kevin Kim — a third-generation acupuncturist with over 25 years of clinical experience.
HOW IT WORKS
Each acupuncture session begins with a full consultation.
Dr. Kim listens to your history, assesses your condition, and builds a treatment plan specific to your body and your goals. No protocols. No guesswork. Just personalized care from someone who has spent a lifetime in this medicine.
Fine, sterile needles are placed at precise points — triggering the nervous system's natural healing response, reducing inflammation, releasing endorphins, and restoring energy flow throughout the body.
Most patients are surprised by two things: how gentle it is, and how good they feel walking out

ACUPUNCTURE FAQ
-
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture is. The needles used are nothing like hypodermic needles — they are extremely fine, solid, and designed to stimulate rather than pierce. Most patients feel little to no discomfort and many find the experience deeply relaxing.
-
Every patient is different. Some conditions respond quickly — within 3 to 5 sessions. Chronic or complex conditions typically require a longer course of treatment. Dr. Kim will give you a realistic expectation at your first visit based on your specific situation.
-
Your initial consultation and first treatment runs approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Follow-up sessions are typically 45 to 60 minutes.
-
Eat a light meal 1 to 2 hours before your session. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs.
-
Yes. Acupuncture is one of the safest medical treatments available when performed by a licensed practitioner. Dr. Kim is licensed in both North Carolina and California and has over 25 years of clinical experience.
