Acupuncture in Sioux Falls, SD
Acupuncture Care Focused on Your Individual Needs
At Moveology 605, acupuncture is offered as part of our personalized approach to musculoskeletal health, comfort and overall well-being. Our clinical team evaluates your needs and recommends appropriate treatment options based on your health history and individual goals.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment in which a trained practitioner places very thin, sterile needles at selected points on the body. It may be considered for certain symptoms or conditions, especially some types of musculoskeletal pain. The strength of the research varies depending on the condition, so it is recommended case by case.
Why Consider Acupuncture at Moveology 605?
Acupuncture at Moveology 605 starts with a clinical assessment, not a one-size-fits-all session. Our team reviews your health history, symptoms and goals, then decides whether acupuncture belongs in your plan.
When it does, it is coordinated with any other care you receive here so your treatment works as one plan. Acupuncture does not help every patient, and we will tell you honestly whether we think it is a good fit.
What Concerns May Be Evaluated?
People in Sioux Falls often ask about acupuncture for pain and musculoskeletal symptoms, as well as sinus congestion and seasonal allergies, such as:
- Ongoing low back pain
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Certain types of recurring headaches
- Knee and joint discomfort
- Muscle tightness and soreness
- Sinus Congestion & Seasonal Allergies
Acupuncture may help some patients manage nasal congestion and sinus discomfort, particularly when symptoms are associated with seasonal allergies. Research suggests potential improvements in nasal symptoms and quality of life. Results vary, and acupuncture is not a substitute for appropriate medical treatment of infections or persistent sinus problems.
Some research suggests acupuncture may help certain people with some of these concerns, including allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergies), while evidence for others is limited or mixed. Results are not guaranteed. A visit lets us evaluate your situation and recommend acupuncture, another treatment or a referral when that is more appropriate.

Acupuncture FAQs
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment in which very thin, sterile needles are placed at selected points on the body. At Moveology 605 in Sioux Falls, it is offered as one part of a personalized approach to musculoskeletal health and comfort. Research on acupuncture varies by condition, so our team discusses whether it may be appropriate for you after reviewing your health history and goals.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are much thinner than the needles used for shots or blood draws. Many people feel little or nothing when a needle is placed, while others notice a brief pinch, tingling, warmth or a dull ache near the point. Sensations vary from person to person. Let your practitioner know at any time if something feels uncomfortable so they can adjust.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
An initial consultation is required before your first acupuncture treatment. Your first visit with Dr. Paul Puetz, DC, Acupuncturist, starts with a conversation about your health history, current symptoms and goals. Your practitioner reviews whether acupuncture may be appropriate, explains the plan and answers your questions before any needles are placed. You will rest comfortably during treatment, then receive guidance on what to watch for afterward and whether follow-up visits are recommended.
How do I know whether acupuncture is appropriate for me?
The best way to find out is the required initial consultation with Dr. Paul Puetz, DC, Acupuncturist. We review your health history, medications, current symptoms and goals before recommending any treatment. Acupuncture is not right for everyone. Tell us if you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, use a pacemaker or have a needle sensitivity, so we can make a safe recommendation.
Can I schedule acupuncture without chiropractic adjustments?
Acupuncture is recommended based on your individual evaluation, and combining it with chiropractic care is not something you should assume is required. Scheduling options can vary, so please call Moveology 605 at 605-271-3578 and our team will explain the current options for booking acupuncture in Sioux Falls and help you choose the right first appointment.
How many acupuncture sessions might I need?
There is no single number that fits everyone. The number of visits depends on your concern, how long you have had it, your overall health and how you respond to care. Your practitioner will discuss a recommended plan after your evaluation and check your progress along the way, so recommendations can change as your needs change.
