Common Questions About Acupuncture Treatments
Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture have any side effects?
Acupuncture points tend to be located near nerves. When these points are stimulated, they send a message to the brain and spinal cord, causing the brain to release natural chemicals. These chemicals can alter or eliminate the message of pain being delivered to the brain. This can help people feel better physically and emotionally, thus improving their quality of life.
Is an acupuncturist a legitimate healthcare professional?
Yes. In Arizona, acupuncture practitioners must be licensed, possess a master’s degree, and be able to demonstrate proficiency in a classroom setting and clinical environment. In addition, all licensed acupuncturists must pass board exams in Eastern and Western medicine. Kristi attended a local Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture school for five years before taking three board exams and becoming a licensed acupuncturist.
What does acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture can treat a multitude of ailments and diseases. According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture can be a beneficial treatment for the following:
- Chronic pain: migraines, neck and back pain, tendonitis, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis
- Digestive disorders: irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, gastritis, and constipation
- Urinary and reproductive disorders: incontinence, menstrual cramps, irregular or heavy periods, infertility and menopausal symptoms

Patient Testimonials
I came to her with pretty severe lower back pain (bulging discs) that had popped up after a long trip. In two treatments I felt markedly better. The thing that was surprising was that I have not walked well since a bad fall four years ago. Yet when I leave Harter, I feel more erect and powerful/in control of my gait. You’ve got to love that!
Don’t waste your money elsewhere! I will go to Harter Acupuncture for all my treatments from now on.
Kristi’s and her services well exceeded my expectations and alleviated the early signs of carpal tunnel that I was experiencing. I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon her during such a great time of need (mentally and physically) in my life. I definitely consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to benefit from her expertise on a regular basis. I highly recommend entrusting her and her blessed, healing hands to provide a better quality of life to you and yours.
Best ever! I have suffered migraines FOREVER and she was able to make them almost non-existant. It took 12 sessions, but she has a very affordable treatment plan. Well worth it!!
