About Ackerman
Clinical expertise. Human care.
A family-owned clinic built around listening, comfort, and individualized treatment.
Our team brings acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage therapy, and specialized bodywork together in one welcoming Blaine clinic. We meet you where you are and help you choose care that fits your goals.

Our Approach
More personal than a chain. More comfortable than a clinic.
Ackerman Acupuncture & Massage is family-owned, but the experience is built around you. Our practitioners combine focused clinical knowledge with the time and attention needed to understand what is affecting your daily life.
Some patients come to reduce pain or recover movement. Others need a place to manage stress, support women’s health, improve well-being, or simply reset. We do not force everyone into the same protocol—or make you pass a vocabulary test before you book.
Our Acupuncturists
Different specialties. One thoughtful standard of care.
Choose based on what brings you in, or call us and we will help you find the right starting point.
