Now Offering Acupuncture in St. Louis at Health by Design

Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most respected forms of medicine, with roots in traditional Chinese practices and growing recognition in modern functional medicine. At Health by Design, we use acupuncture as a powerful, natural tool to support your body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance.
Dr. Ellie Reidt, our certified acupuncturist, provides these treatments with expert care and a personalized approach. Each session is customized based on your health history, current symptoms, and overall wellness goals.

Top 5 Reasons We Use Acupuncture in Functional Medicine:

Chronic Pain Relief – Acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, release tight muscles, and stimulate endorphin release, offering relief for conditions like back pain, joint pain, and headaches.

Hormone Balance – From menstrual irregularities to perimenopause, acupuncture supports endocrine function and can help regulate cycles and improve symptoms like mood swings and fatigue.

Stress & Anxiety Reduction – By calming the nervous system and promoting parasympathetic activity, acupuncture helps the body manage stress and restore emotional balance.

Digestive Support – Acupuncture can aid in regulating the gut-brain axis, improving digestion, easing bloating, and supporting conditions like IBS.
Improved Sleep & Energy – Many patients experience more restful sleep and increased daytime energy after acupuncture treatments, as it helps reset circadian rhythms and support adrenal health.

You’ll be treated in a soothing environment with soft lighting and relaxing music, allowing you to fully unwind while Dr. Ellie places the needles with gentle precision. Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes and are designed to leave you feeling restored, both physically and mentally.
