Acupuncture

Restore Balance in Your Body.

Acupuncture is backed by thousands of years of practice as well as modern research. It has been shown to support both physical and emotional health. It gently stimulates the body’s natural healing response, calming the nervous system, reducing inflammation, and regulating hormones. Many people notice relief from chronic pain, better sleep, smoother digestion, and improved energy levels.

A Reset for Stress and Emotional Health.

Acupuncture doesn’t just address the physical body — it supports mental and emotional health. By activating the parasympathetic “rest-and-digest” system, acupuncture helps lower stress, quiet anxiety, and promotes a deep sense of calm.

Meet Lindsay

I’m Lindsay Culbert, a Licensed Acupuncturist at ROOT Wellness Hub with a passion for self healing. I combine Classical Chinese Medicine and herbal therapy to help empower patients to take control of their health. Compassionate and intuitive, I bring both expertise and artistry to my practice.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree from North Greenville University and a Masters Degree from Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine. I’m currently working on my herbal certification and doctorate at Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medicine in Asheville, NC. I take pride in coming from a family of healers and herbalists, with this being a gift passed down to me through multiple generations of amazing women.

When I’m not studying, I enjoy discovering new up cycling projects in thrift stores, swimming, writing poetry, and spending time with her two huskies.

I am passionate about helping connect the dots between chronic illness / autoimmune conditions and mental health. I can assist with pain management, women’s health and fertility support, mental wellness, and more. I would love to support you on your health journey.

 FAQs

  • Most people feel little to no pain. The needles are very thin—about the width of a human hair. You may notice a slight pinch or a dull, heavy sensation when the needle is inserted, but many people find sessions relaxing.

  • Acupuncture can support relief from chronic pain (like back, neck, and joint pain), migraines, digestive issues, stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and even women’s health concerns. It is also used to support overall balance and wellness.

  • Yes—when performed by a licensed practitioner, acupuncture is considered very safe. Needles are sterile, single-use, and disposed of after each treatment. Side effects are rare and generally mild (such as slight bruising).

  • It depends on your condition and your goals. Some people feel relief after just one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments over several weeks. Your acupuncturist will create a plan tailored to you.

  • Your acupuncturist will ask about your health history, current concerns, and overall lifestyle. You’ll then relax on a treatment table while thin needles are placed at specific points. The first session lasts approximately 60-90 minutes, with follow-up sessions lasting about 45-60 minutes. Many people feel calm and refreshed afterward.

  • Yes! At ROOT, we offer specialized acupuncture treatments for children ages 4–13. Pediatric acupuncture uses extra-gentle techniques and fewer needles, tailored to a child’s comfort level. Many children respond very well to acupuncture for concerns such as sleep difficulties, anxiety, digestive issues, or immune support. We always create a calming, supportive environment so both kids and parents feel at ease, and don’t worry - these services are offered on days when therapy is not taking place.
