Are You Ready to Practice the Medicine You Trained For, Surrounded by a Team That Has Your Back?\n
Turning Pointe Acupuncture + Wellness is growing, and we're looking for a Licensed Acupuncturist who's ready to do meaningful work as part of a warm, collaborative, and genuinely skilled team. If you're passionate about orthopedic and sports medicine acupuncture, or eager to build that focus, we'd love to meet you.
\n
\n
This isn't a solo hustle. You'll be joining five wonderful practitioners (acupuncturists and massage therapists) and a practice manager who keeps things running smoothly, in a clinic built for real, whole-person care.
\n

\n
\n
- \n
- 5 treatment rooms
- A spacious reception area
- A dedicated movement studio
- Staff kitchen and break room
- Dedicated parking lot
- Retail space for herbs, supplements, and self-care tools

We're a general practice treating the full spectrum of conditions, plus a strong focus on preventative medicine, offering acupuncture, massage therapy, manual therapy, cupping, gua sha, herbal medicine, and group classes. Patients come to us because they trust the whole team; you'll be part of building that trust every day.
\n
What You'll Be Doing\n
- \n
- Treating patients using a patient-centered, orthopedic/sports-medicine-informed approach
- Seeing 2 patients per hour across multiple treatment rooms (up to 6–12 patients per 6-hour shift)
- Incorporating complementary modalities as needed — Tuina, Shiatsu, cupping, gua sha, herbal medicine
- Prescribing herbs and/or therapeutic movement where appropriate
- Completing accurate, timely chart notes via our EHR (full training provided)
- Working 2–3 shifts per week to start, with room to grow — weekend availability required
- Getting credentialed with major insurance panels (don't worry, we handle the entire process for you)
