LISTENING HANDS
ACUPUNCTURE
Joey Ziegler, LAc,DAHM
I believe that the body knows what it needs to heal; we just have to know how to listen. I utilize a combination of gentle palpatory methods, mainly adapted from osteopathic medicine and traditional Japanese medicine in order to assess how and where is best to engage with your system. I see myself as a collaborator with my patients, engaging in an ongoing conversation.
In addition to acupuncture, I offer gentle bodywork, Chinese herbal medicine, as well as diet and lifestyle guidance when appropriate.
Outside of seeing patients, I am an active professional musician. I also love spending time in nature, and practicing qigong and taiji.
All healing begins with listening

Testimonials
“He took care to explain his approach and communicate clearly through the treatment, providing great care with utmost professionalism in a relaxing atmosphere.”
“I’m kind of scared of needles so he took things slow and respectfully and explained what he was doing which i appreciated. You know it’s a good session when you somehow fall asleep with needles attached to you. ”
“I’ve had chronic back pain for the majority of my life, and I’ve been wanting to go back to acupuncture to find some relief. I’ve had great acupuncturist in the past, but what makes Dr. Ziegler stand out is how genuinely present he was. He made it an incredibly safe space. I left the session feeling rejuvenated and felt so much relief in my back. Thank you, Dr. Ziegler!”
“Joey is outstanding in his ability to address a wide range of symptoms in a holistic manner. As a very disabled patient, I felt better after every session. Joey is a treasure in providing a relaxing environment for acupuncture and bodywork. ”
“Not only has Joey helped me find real relief for my ongoing issues, but his holistic approach has improved my overall well-being. Each session is both relaxing and restorative, and I always leave feeling better—both physically and mentally. What stands out the most is the warmth and kindness he brings to every appointment. ”
