Feel Better, Faster
What to Expect From Acupuncture
Your first acupuncture visit is designed to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported.
We’ll start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, and goals so your treatment can be fully tailored to you. From there, you’ll relax on a treatment table while very thin, gentle needles are placed at specific points on the body.
Most patients find acupuncture deeply calming, and often leave feeling more relaxed, grounded, and at ease.
Treatment plans vary depending on your needs, but many patients begin to notice improvements within just a few sessions.

How Quickly Will I See Results?
Every patient is different, but many people begin to notice changes within 3–5 sessions.
Acute concerns may improve more quickly, while chronic conditions often benefit from a series of treatments over time.
My goal is not just short-term relief, but helping you feel better in a lasting, sustainable way.

Why Choose Acupuncture
Safe & Effective
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine used around the world. Research studies have proven its effectiveness to treat a wide range of conditions. I use only sterile, single-use, disposable needles.
Gentle & Pain Free
I use the gentlest of techniques, resulting in a pain-free experience. The needles are so thin that people are amazed that they don’t even feel them. Non-insertive techniques are also available.
All Natural
Acupuncture works with your body to stimulate its own healing, all without unwanted side effects or the use of medication or chemicals. Your body is an amazing thing and does the healing!
Relaxing
Acupuncture “turns on” your body’s relaxation response, leaving you stress-free and feeling relaxed. Your acupuncture nap will be the best part of your day! Snoring is welcomed.

Why People Choose Me
When you’re in pain and not feeling your best, even the simplest of daily tasks can be a burden. But life doesn’t stop when you’re hurting. I know because I’ve been there.
My name is Leslie Murphy, and I too once had to struggle with chronic pain on a daily basis that impacted every area of my life.
Everything changed when I discovered acupuncture and utilized this natural medicine to reclaim my health. It’s what prompted me to become an acupuncturist and open my acupuncture clinic in Cornelius, NC so that I can help others say goodbye to pain and illness for good.
Listen to me share my story about why I became an acupuncturist and why I love this medicine on the Best of LKN podcast!
