Acupuncture in Green Bay, WI

At Wagner Integrative Health, acupuncture is part of our whole-person approach to healing. This time-tested therapy has been used for thousands of years to support the body’s natural healing processes, reduce pain, regulate the nervous system, and restore balance.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with very fine needles to influence the nervous system, circulation, and the body’s energetic communication pathways. When used as part of an integrative treatment plan, acupuncture can help improve symptoms while supporting the body’s ability to heal and recover.

Our acupuncture services are provided by Dr. McKaye, a trained professional, who understands both traditional acupuncture principles and modern integrative medicine, allowing us to combine this therapy with functional medicine, lifestyle care, and conventional medical treatments when appropriate.

Patients seeking acupuncture in De Pere, Green Bay, and the surrounding Fox Valley often come to Wagner Integrative Health when they are looking for thoughtful, personalized care that looks beyond symptoms to identify and support the root causes of imbalance.

Conditions That May Benefit from Acupuncture

Acupuncture is commonly used to support patients experiencing a wide range of symptoms and conditions. Many patients seek acupuncture when other treatments have not provided complete relief.

Acupuncture may be helpful for:

• Chronic pain conditions
• Neck, back, and joint pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Chronic fatigue and low energy
• Stress, anxiety, and nervous system imbalance
• Digestive concerns
• Hormonal health concerns
• Dysautonomia and nervous system regulation
• Recovery from injury or surgery
• Sleep disturbances

Because acupuncture supports the body’s nervous system and circulation, it is often a valuable complementary therapy alongside other integrative treatments offered at Wagner Integrative Health.

How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture is based on the understanding that the body has complex communication systems that regulate healing and balance. Traditional acupuncture refers to these systems as the flow of “qi,” or vital energy, throughout the body.

Modern research shows that acupuncture can influence:

• Nervous system regulation
• Circulation and tissue healing
• Inflammatory pathways
• Hormonal signaling
• Pain perception pathways

By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture helps the nervous system shift from a stress-dominant state toward a more balanced state that supports healing, recovery, and resilience.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Visit

Your acupuncture treatment begins with a discussion of your symptoms, health history, and goals for care. Because our clinic practices integrative medicine, acupuncture is often incorporated into a broader treatment plan designed specifically for you.

During treatment, very thin sterile needles are gently placed at specific acupuncture points on the body. Most patients experience little to no discomfort and often describe the treatment as deeply relaxing.

Sessions typically last between 30–60 minutes depending on your treatment plan.

Many patients notice improvements in relaxation, pain levels, or overall well-being after treatment, while others experience gradual improvements over a series of sessions.

Integrative Care at Wagner Integrative Health

Acupuncture is rarely used in isolation. At Wagner Integrative Health, it is often combined with other integrative and functional medicine therapies to support the body from multiple angles.

Depending on your health goals, acupuncture may be incorporated alongside:

• Functional lab testing
• Nutritional and lifestyle interventions
• Targeted supplementation
• Hormone optimization
• Peptide therapies
• Other integrative medical treatments

Our goal is not simply to manage symptoms but to help you move toward lasting health, vitality, and resilience.
