Lincoln Acupuncture Project

Full disclosure: I am married to the owner of Lincoln Acupuncture Project. So yeah, I'm clearly biased. But I've also been able to receive hundreds of acupuncture treatments from her in our years together, and I can attest to her skill as an acupuncturist and as a healer. She has helped me out of debilitating headaches more times than I care to recall, and with other problems I've had over the years. But I've also been witness to how skilled she is working with patients in the community clinic setting where she worked back in California, and now here in Lincoln, and what an asset community-style acupuncture is to a community. Especially I feel how healing work in a shared space (with other patients) helps break through the sense of isolation a person can so easily feel when they are injured, in pain, or sick or a long time. I love the way the Lincoln Acupuncture Project space turned out and it feels very peaceful being there, getting treatments alongside others.

I went in with pain and got the treatment and suggestions to get back to feeling good. She also helped my child break the cycle of health issues and get ready for a baseball tournament.It's a relaxing place to go, and I appreciated the description of a "community reservoir of calm." It is awesome to be with other people while taking time for yourself.I appreciate this place for making it simple to access a thousands-of-years-old healing practice that modern science has proven effective for various symptoms. Now that I know this place exists, it's going to be my go-to provider for a lot of those little health concerns that pop up, especially the ones that are probably too vague for a regular MD / drug-based therapy to successfully address.The needles are no big deal. They're extremely thin and not painful or so slight initially that you won't care. You are in charge of your treatment, so you can just try one needle and see what it's like, and you can ask any time to have any or all of them taken out. Also there's no blood, so put your mind at ease about that!Scheduling is ridiculously easy on the website. There's no pressure to come back often. Don't forget cash or check, and you might want earphones to listen to music. Your first treatment might be 20-30 minutes, plus all the time you need to talk through your symptoms. I could have taken notes for the self-massage techniques and vitamins she mentioned, which were also super helpful.
