Founder and Acupuncturist

Soledad Duffy, L Ac, M.D ( Arg )

Hi!! I’m so glad you are here!

As someone trained in both Eastern and Western medicine, I’ve learned that the most valuable assessment begins not with what symptoms a person has, but what sort of person has these symptoms.

Working closely with people for a decade has sharpened my ability to recognize the natural patterns and challenges each body carries. This perspective allows me to understand not only the medical condition, but the human nature behind it and how their constitution and internal terrain shape the way illness appears and healing happens.

At Solstice Acupuncture, I’ve developed a practice tailored to women’s needs that allows me to bridge a gap between medical science and hollistic healing

Benefits Of Acupuncture

Evidence Based healing

Acupuncture has become increasingly recognized for its ability to promote natural healing and restore balance within the body. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, sleep issues, or digestive problems, acupuncture offers a safe, holistic approach to improving your overall well-being.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Improved Blood Circulation

Acupuncture stimulates local and systemic blood flow, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients while supporting tissue repair and healing.

Reduced Inflammation

By influencing immune and vascular responses, acupuncture can help calm inflammatory processes linked to pain, stiffness, and chronic conditions.

Modulation of Pain Signals

Treatment helps regulate how the nervous system processes pain signals, reducing sensitivity and supporting more balanced neural communication.

Nervous System Regulation

Acupuncture promotes parasympathetic (rest-and-restore) activity, helping regulate stress responses, sleep quality, and overall nervous system balance.

FAQs

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice, nearly 5,000 years old, that uses thin needles inserted at specific points along the body’s meridians. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, addressing various health conditions and promoting wellness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Are the needles sterile?

Yes, only high-quality stainless steel disposable needles are used in acupuncture treatments. These needles arrive in pre-sterilized, sealed packets to ensure complete safety and hygiene. After each use, they are immediately discarded, eliminating any risk of contamination or infection between patients.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Does Acupuncture hurt?

Because acupuncture needles are as thin as a hair, insertion is typically hardly felt. There may be occasional sharpness or dullness, but these sensations are far less unpleasant than Western injections, making the treatment generally comfortable for most patients.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How many sessions will I need?

Treatment frequency varies by condition severity and duration. Most begin with weekly sessions for 4-6 weeks, then gradually reduce to biweekly and monthly visits as symptoms improve. Classical acupuncture also prevents illness, so practitioners encourage regular visits to detect imbalances before symptoms appear.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
