Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that promotes the body's natural healing processes. Chinese medicine views the body as a systematic whole that works to maintain a harmonious balance. When symptoms arise, it is our body's way of communicating to us that something is out of harmony.
Chinese medicine is a safe and effective way to treat a multitude of conditions. Often times, patients will come in with a complaint and after a series of treatments other symptoms that they weren't originally focusing on will also resolve. This is because Chinese medicine takes the whole body into perspective.
Does Acupuncture hurt? Unlike the hollow hypodermic needles used to administer shots at the doctor's office, acupuncture needles are solid yet flexible and they compare to the size of a horsehair. Upon insertion, you may feel little to no sensation. Some describe a sensation of mild tingling, heaviness, pulling, or warmth while the acupuncture needles are in place.

Many years ago I had a medical condition western medicine could not solve thus I sought help through acupuncture. Within weeks after over a year of using traditional western methods I was cured through acupuncture. Naturally I continue to seek acupuncture as my treatment choice.
After returning to WNC, I sought acupuncture with Sara for an acute medical issue. She is thorough with her questioning eliciting answer which must have proved invaluable in her treatment. I had not been asked such specific questions about my problems and their efforts on me. She not only helped heal my body, she helped

I've been to several acupuncturists and Sara is by far the BEST. She is thorough yet efficient. She has a caring, accepting bedside manner. She does everything! Needles, cupping, moxibustion and more. BONUS! I have found her to be the best at actually putting the needles in. I barely feel it most times!

I was in Asheville for a conference and ended up with terrible insomnia. I did some research on the local acupuncture clinics and found Sara. I was able to get in quickly. Sara was exceptional! She is very knowledgeable and took her time with a through history - asking many questions. She performed acupuncture skillfully and also did some cupping for my upper back and shoulder pain. I highly recommend her if you live in the area or are just visiting and in need of help - you will love her!

I HIGHLY recommend working with Sara Mills at the Acupuncture Center of Asheville. I was new to acupuncture when I decided to see Sara for my knees. They have been a constant source of pain for several years after injuring both several times. The progress Sara has made on my knees has been incredible - I can run again!!Through our treatments we expanded it and have worked with stress, focus, sinuses, digestion, back pain, etc. and it has been a life changing experience. I am still amazed how drastically I would feel a physical shift from the beginning to the end of a session. Working with Sara

I've had numerous treatments with Sara treating various things like allergies, pulled muscles, neck, shoulder, and back pain. She is very attentive to which part of the body needs the most attention and always makes sure I'm relaxed and comfortable during sessions. I always leave extremely relaxed and feeling in a better state of mind and body. I will definitely return for more sessions in the future.

I have been a long time sufferer of chronic low back pain, and in effort to avoid surgery, I decided to try other treatment modalities, including Acupuncture treatments from Sara Mills. After my first treatment with Sara, my pain significantly decreased. Her E-Stim treatment was fantastic; her needling technique as well as her massage were all wonderful. If you’re looking for a professional, compassionate and knowledgeable Acupuncturist, who is also passionate about her patients and their well-being, you should make an appointment with Sara. Sara is wonderful at helping me manage my pain. I couldn’t

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about Acupuncture until I did four sessions with Sara Mills. She goes in depth about your health and issues so she can create a custom plan for your treatments. I was impressed by her level of professionalism and enjoyed the entire experience. I can tell that it's helped my allergies and so I've started another round of treatments. I'm definitely a believer now!

Sara is a wonderful practitioner! She is very attentive and has a warm welcoming demeanor. I never felt rushed and she addressed all of my concerns. I've seen great results in my personal health and the more I go the better I feel. The Acupuncture Center itself is a charming building filled with good energy. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone and feel blessed to have found her.
