I help active adults, like you, solve chronic health issues and improve quality of life through acupuncture, manual therapies, herbs, and corrective exercise. I have natural solutions for your health concerns. I work with you to transform your posture, breathing, movement, and the health of your tissues so that you can enjoy the pain-free, energetic, engaged life you crave.

While I see a vast array of conditions, I specialize in treating pelvic floor conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, diastasis recti, prostatitis, and erectile dysfunction. You deserve a quality of life that is solid, dependable. Live every day without fear. No more holding back while playing with your grandchildren. No more planning activities around access to bathrooms.

I combine physical medicine, acupuncture , osteopathic manual techniques (cranio-sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, myofascial therapy, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage), and Traditional Chinese Medical herbal formulas or supplements in each session in order to give you the most thorough, well-rounded treatment, individually tailored to your constitution, body type, and health concerns.

It’s time to get your groove on—because your quality of life matters.

I am an accomplished alternative healthcare professional, with over 22 years of hands on experience in the bodywork field. I am passionate about acupuncture because of what it has done for me personally, and the positive results that I have witnessed for so many of my patients. It is important to me as your practitioner, to provide a treatment plan that is unique to you, and supports your health goals. I usually ask that you commit to 3 treatments. Generally, results are experienced by then. At that time we will re-evaluate and determine which course of action is best.

I have been a licensed acupuncturist since 2003. My training includes TCM, Japanese and Acupuncture Physical Medicine. APM is a unique needle technique taught at Tri-State College. This technique uses a motion that releases muscle constriction and trigger points, thereby promoting the free flow of Qi. My experience includes treating a variety of medical conditions including but not limited to anxiety, depression, muscular conditions, sciatica, neck and back pain, tendonitis, asthma, headaches, neuropathy, sleep disorders, skin conditions and fertility. Primarily I use needles, but may also use cupping, guasha, and massage. I have experience with adults as well as children. I also take no-fault insurance and participate in some private insurances.

Dr. Michelle Hughes is a Fellow of The American Board Of Oriental Reproductive Medicine and has been practicing for over 14 years.

I love doing medical acupuncture and am pleased to open my practice, Huffman Clinic, PLLC, in Davenport, Iowa, where I can serve clients in the Iowa and Illinois Quad Cities and the surrounding area. I bring with me 35 years of practicing traditional western medicine in family practice and then radiology. To prepare for my practice dedicated to medical acupuncture, I did intensive training with Dr. Tsun-Nin Lee at the Academy of Pain Research. I find the integration of concepts from traditional and modern forms of acupuncture with Western medical training enables a more comprehensive approach to health care.
I appreciate the opportunity to serve clients by assisting them in achieving and maintaining wellness. My acupuncture treatments include the traditional needling, electrical stimulation, auricular stimulation and moxibustion. To this I add the modern acupuncture technologies of laser, infrared heat, and measuring energies through computer software. It gives me great pleasure to alleviate pain and illness using these modalities that are free of side-effects. I also encourage my patients to come in for regular energy readings so we can maintain balanced energies to support ongoing good health and a strong immune system.
See for yourself how acupuncture frees up your energy and offers relief from pain, relief from allergies, and relief from both chronic and acute medical challenges. Allow acupuncture to lead you to living a healthier, easier, happier life.
