How Acupuncture Helps
UW Health's Integrative Medicine program offers inpatient acupuncture and massage therapy/bodywork treatments.Treatments require a physician's order.
Massage therapy and acupuncture may assist patients in dealing with many issues commonly experienced during a hospital stay, including pain, anxiety, nausea and sleep disturbances.
Our therapists work with you to evaluate your needs and assist you in restoring your body to a balanced state.

Sessions are scheduled based on the availability of a massage therapist or acupuncturist. Once an order for a session has been entered by the physician, we try to respond to requests within the next 24 hours. Due to limited staff availability at this time, we may not be able to honor all requests.
