Acupuncture is a family of techniques that can provide help for many problems. Very thin needles are used to adjust the flow of energy and balance meridians in the body. Community Acupuncture is traditional in China and involves people having acupuncture in a group. Cupping is an ancient technique that gently massages the muscles, increases blood flow, relaxes tension, and feels great. Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the core therapies of Chinese medicine and personalized formulas can be created for any condition.
At Acupuncture of Iowa the office is staffed by incredible folks who serve as office assistants for Laura. We also have two loving gentle dogs who spend their days here and their nights at Laura's house.

I am so glad I found Laura Christensen and Acupuncture of Iowa. She really takes the time to understand my concerns and help me resolve them. With a very complicated problem, she is persistent and willing to try new approaches to help me get the care I need. I love that the dogs are there to greet me and get a little attention.

I have seen Laura for different issues in the past which she has resolved. Laura is very personable but right to the point when it comes to finding the cause of one's health issues. Laura explains everything. If you can't understand something, she will explain it so you do. She is very knowledgeable in her field and I trust her completely.

When I was first sent to Laura I had been in debilitating pain for 2 years. I had tried many treatment modalities without success. I was leery to pursue acupuncture but I had nothing to lose. Laura was honest and upfront when discussing my prospects for success with acupuncture. I was so appreciative of her honesty. Today, after weekly treatments, I have manageable pain that has allowed me to begin to spend time with family and friends. And I have hope for continued improvement that will increase my quality of life. I would highly recommend a consultation and treatment plan with Laura.

Yes, yes and yes! I'm very thankful and grateful to have come across the wonderful individuals at this clinic, especially Laura. She does everything she can to assist with pain management and other issues and she works with you financially. Thanks so much Laura!

This was my first time seeing an acupuncturist. I found Dr. Christensen to be warm, kind, and caring. She explained things very well. She also, listened to what I was saying. I could tell she had read all of the pre-appointment information I had provided. She is very calm and soothing when she talks with me.

Laura is an excellent and experienced acupuncturist. She listens attentively and is invested in finding an approach to treatment that is appropriate and healing for my needs. I've been experiencing some chronic pain and she is working with me to feel more like myself.

I have been accessing acupuncture and herbal treatments for close to 20 years. The most meaningful experience is to be treated by Laura who knows my bodies' history well. She was a significant help in recovery from a brain injury after I was hit by a truck while riding my bike. It is a real advantage to seek treatment for temporary or new health issues as well as my monthly "tune up" for well being. Laura continues her training every year making me feel that her treatment is current and effective. I recommend her to people who speak of chronic pain, slow recovery from the flu, post-surgery w general anesthesia, and digestive difficulties.

Laura is really wonderful and so skilled at what she does. Laura and her team helped me get through a really rough time in my life, and now even though I feel great and have moved away, I will go out of my way to stop in for an appointment when in town. I've never had a bad interaction with office staff, and always leave the office feeling better than I did when I came in, regardless of the reason for being there! I would recommend Laura to anyone and everyone even somewhat interested in receiving acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture of Iowa is a wonderful clinic. I like visiting it because I am made to feel welcome whenever I go there, and because of the calm & relaxing atmosphere. Laura Christensen is the very capable practitioner of this clinic. She has a dedication to her patients' well-being that comes through on every visit. Her wisdom and expert skills have helped me many times in the past 12 years. Yes, there are needles used for the treatment of your condition, but often times I scarcely feel them.

If you are looking for a provider who offers top-notch care and seeks to improve her knowledge through attending high-level continuing education classes, then you need to visit Laura's clinic. And say hi to her lovely dogs.
