Best Places For Acupuncture In Minnesota
Holistic medicine has become an accepted and popular form of treatment for health and well-being. Acupuncture, an ancient medical procedure that originated in China, is often a holistic complement to modern Western medicine. Some hospitals and wellness clinics combine acupuncture and modern medical procedures, but many acupuncturists are private practitioners. Some are affiliated with major hospitals and are credentialed in both Western and Oriental medicine. Twin Cities metro has many certified acupuncturists — here are a few holistic treatment centers where licensed practitioners specialize in acupuncture and acupressure.

A holistic spa for massage therapy, Ochi combines Swedish massage with deep tissue Oriental acupressure to relieve muscle tension.

Ochi has downloadable coupon specials for deep tissue full body and foot massages, and promotions are ongoing. Ochi has a Burnsville location, as well.
