Senses working at their best capacity. A body released from pain. A mind freed from crippling anxiety. Nights cradling you in hours of restorative sleep.

Age does not discriminate when it comes to health issues such as:

  • Back pain, joint pain (knee and hip in particular), sciatica, migraine headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and chronic pain
  • Emotional imbalances created by stress, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Disrupted sleep due to insomnia and sleep apnea

Led by Kathleen Burke, LAc., an authority in a wide variety of acupuncture techniques with more than 20 years of experience in this extraordinary curative science, Visionary Acupuncture is a healing center for every age group in the Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tempe communities.

Additionally, Kathleen has honed her skills, focused her training, and advanced her knowledge to particularly treat the illnesses associated with aging—that all too often (and unnecessarily) have left vital and productive individuals feeling like they are leading diminished lives with reduced purpose.

A life of health and balance
—can you see it?

Frequently Asked Questions

Acupuncture is a core part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and East Asian Medicine. It is based on the Meridian System, Five Elements Theory, and the balance of Yin & Yang. Treatment focuses on the flow of Qi (Chi) through meridians (energy pathways) and specific acupoints (acupuncture points).

We offer several modalities, including traditional Chinese acupuncture, Japanese meridian therapy (Toyohari), electroacupuncture, auricular (ear) acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, Gua Sha, and nutritional counseling. We also provide integrative approaches for comprehensive care.

Yes, acupuncture is safe when performed by a licensed professional. Kathleen Burke, L.Ac., is fully licensed in Arizona (License #LAC-0010001), with over 20 years of experience and advanced certifications, including Acu Nova and Toyohari training. Only practitioners licensed by the Arizona Acupuncture Board can legally provide acupuncture in the state.

Acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints along the meridians to balance the flow of Qi (Chi), harmonize Yin & Yang, and support natural healing. It is recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) for treating a variety of conditions.

The number of sessions depends on your condition and health goals. Acute issues may improve in a few visits, while chronic or complex issues often require ongoing care. We’ll create a personalized plan for you.

Most clients experience minimal to no pain. The needles are extremely thin, and most people find the sessions relaxing and often fall asleep.

During your initial appointment, you'll receive a thorough evaluation using TCM principles and discuss your health goals in detail, covering physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. You'll also be given at-home assignments to help support your treatment.

We do not bill insurance directly, but we can provide a superbill along with all codes and information you would need to submit to your insurance provider. Please confirm your coverage with your insurer.
