What We Do Here

We practice ancient medicine, offering holistic, non pharmaceutical solutions to many health concerns. We aim to keep you physically and emotionally healthy so you could lead an active life and enjoy everything Montana has to offer.

Most people seek acupuncture for pain relief because acupuncture encourages production of endorphins, which work similar to pain killers when delivered to the area of pain. 

Yet, pain is only one of many things acupuncture deals with. Acupuncture cures many chronic health issues by literally changing your brain chemistry, neurotransmitters, and your response to pain. By altering the neurotransmitters of your brain, acupuncture stops the autonomic (automatic and involuntary) response of the nervous system, thereby alleviating symptoms of many conditions.

Acupuncture is a whole system approach to health that addresses physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Not only it is a great alternative to prescription pain medication, it is also wonderful for mental health which is why people turn to acupuncture for relief from stress, depression and anxiety.

A Healing Journey

My very first acupuncture treatment was with Irena Ginsberg in Nov. ‘21, after seeing a GI specialist at the hospital. I was dealing with food poisoning & could not keep any food down.

Gentle and Kind

I recently had my first-ever acupuncture experience with Irena. I was nervous, but she and Lara were very welcoming. Irena’s approach was gentle and kind.

406 Acupuncture

Went to 406 with a specific problem, Irena checked my pulses and stated what she felt was the root of my problem. I was skeptical, being used to western medicine. She advised an herbal tea and weekly acupuncture. After 6 weeks of treatment, my problem is history. You owe it to yourself to experience a holistic approach to your health.

She helped me understand how to deal with the various triggers that were causing my condition. I still “Anxiety & Sleep Issues”

Relief by 406

For years I worked construction in NYC and eventually had problems with my back and neck. After visiting many doctors the answer was always the same “take these pills”.
