STILLPOINT ACUPUNCTURE

What STILLPOINT ACUPUNCTURE does

Stillpoint Acupuncture is a private, founder-owned Traditional Chinese Medicine practice operating two physical clinics in central North Carolina (Greensboro and Siler City) since 2001. The firm delivers an integrated suite of TCM modalities — acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, gua sha, cupping, and lifestyle/nutrition consultation — through licensed practitioners who collaboratively cross-cover patient care. Treatment courses typically run 4-10 visits, addressing pain management, women's health and fertility, digestive disorders, neurological conditions, pediatric concerns, mental health, and adjunctive cancer and hospice support.

Revenue is generated per-visit on a direct-to-consumer basis with no insurance, employer, or reseller intermediaries. Pricing is publicly disclosed and tiered by visit type: $150 for a 90-minute new patient visit, $100 for standard follow-up, $140/$70 for comprehensive/simple acupuncture, $50-$90 for pediatric visits, $15-$65 for herbal medicine consultations, and a sliding-scale community clinic tier starting at $90. Patient acquisition runs through the practice's website (stillpointacupuncture.com), online booking via JaneApp, phone scheduling, and word-of-mouth referrals, supported by a published testimonial library.

Operationally, the practice employs approximately 14 staff including practitioners, a practice manager (Melissa Peet), and administrative roles, with 17 different practitioners having served across its 24-year history. As of October 1, 2025, Blake Faulkner took ownership of the Greensboro clinic while founder Heather McIver (L.Ac., M.Ed, MSOM, Dipl.OM) concentrates on the Siler City location, formalizing a partial succession while preserving the unified Stillpoint brand and collaborative care model. The firm is HIPAA-compliant, holds no patents, and has no disclosed external funding, partnerships, or M&A activity.

Products and services

• Acupuncture Traditional acupuncture using fine needles inserted at specific points on the body to remove obstructions along qi pathways and correct imbalances that produce pain or dysfunction; used for acute and chronic pain, women's health, fertility, digestive, neurological, pediatric, emotional, and supportive cancer care.
• Chinese Herbal Medicine Customized Chinese herbal formulas prescribed for individual patients at particular points in time and adjusted as symptoms evolve; used for internal medicine, gynecology, pain, and neurological conditions.
• Moxibustion Warming therapy that burns artemesia (mugwort) over acupuncture points to increase local blood flow, warm tissue, enhance acupuncture point function, and stimulate immune response.

• Cupping Suction cup therapy applied to the back or abdomen to alleviate pain and relieve surface tension and tightness in muscles through suction rather than hands-on work.

Broad incumbents

• Elements Massage: Franchise therapeutic-massage brand emphasizing clinical-quality bodywork and repeat-visit pricing. Overlaps with Stillpoint's pain-management and chronic-condition patient base from a massage-only modality.
• Massage Envy: National franchise chain delivering subscription-based massage, skin care, and stretch services through owned clinics. Comparable as a scaled direct-to-consumer wellness provider competing for the same patient wellness budget, though focused on massage rather than acupuncture.
• StretchLab: Franchise assisted-stretching concept targeting mobility, pain relief, and recovery in retail locations. Comparable as a subscription-driven, repeat-visit wellness service competing for similar chronic-pain and athletic-recovery patients.
• Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa: National franchise spa chain offering massage, facials, and hair removal on membership pricing. Competes for consumer wellness spend and weekend/evening appointments in the same general personal-services category.
• The Joint Chiropractic: National franchise chiropractic chain offering accessible, walk-in musculoskeletal care with insurance and cash-pay models. Competes with Stillpoint's pain-management segment from a different but adjacent alternative-medicine modality.

Direct peers

• Modern Acupuncture: National franchise acupuncture clinic chain offering per-visit treatments with standardized pricing and multi-state locations. Direct competitor in consumer-facing acupuncture with similar service menus but vastly greater scale and brand spend.
• Wello Acupuncture: Community-acupuncture-style practice focused on accessible, repeatable treatment pricing. Closely comparable model to Stillpoint's community clinic offering with sliding-scale and high-frequency visit patterns.
• Acupuncture Integrative Medicine: Independent integrative-medicine clinic offering acupuncture alongside conventional care for pain, fertility, and chronic conditions. Comparable practitioner-led, multi-modality Chinese Medicine practice serving similar patient segments.

Others

• Pacific College of Health and Sciences: Accredited acupuncture and Chinese Medicine college producing licensed graduates and running teaching clinics. Relevant ecosystem peer as a source of new practitioner talent and as a competing teaching-clinic patient channel.

Regional players

• Triangle Acupuncture Clinic: Acupuncture practice serving the Raleigh-Durham (Triangle) region of North Carolina with comparable Chinese Medicine service offerings including herbs and cupping. Direct regional competitor for North Carolina patient share.
