Mankato Acupuncture Clinic is the private practice of Stephanie Hylla. She is licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, and is a National Board Certified Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
In 2020, Stephanie graduated with a doctoral degree in acupuncture from Pacific College of Health Science, San Diego. She earned her masters degree in acupuncture from the Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) in 2010. Shortly thereafter, Stephanie traveled to China and completed a Certificate of Study at Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She also received her undergraduate degree from the College of St. Benedict in her hometown of St. Joseph, MN in 1995.
Since 2019, Stephanie has been adjunct faculty at NWHSU and works as a clinic supervisor for the acupuncture program. Her clinic site is Courage Kenny, Golden Valley, where she trains advanced acupuncture students in how to treat traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. She does this in both the in-patient Transitional Rehabilitation Program, and out-patient group settings.
Stephanie served as the President of the Alumni Board for the Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine program at NWHSU for five years, and earned the 2017 Distinguished Service Award for her alum advocacy successes.
Stephanie is very passionate about what Traditional Chinese Medicine has to offer and has a wonderful desire to educate the public in how it can complement any level of health care treatment. It is her mission to show how both Eastern and Western Medicines can work together to fulfill the common goal of giving people the best healthcare options they deserve.
Very Neat, Clean and Rrofessionally Run
“I have long-standing chronic neck and upper back pain, due to spasms, and acupuncture has helped me control this pain. My first appointment helped with understanding how Eastern and Western medicine differed. Needling was explained well, along with needle disposal. The clinic is very neat, clean and professionally run. I always feel welcomed and very comfortable.
Initially I thought I would go to the clinic, have a treatment, then maybe not want to continue, but I have found the treatments helpful enough that I continue to have acupuncture every 2-3 weeks, at my own expense. Even though my insurance doesn’t cover it, I find them helpful enough that I keep going. I would recommend the Mankato Acupuncture Clinic as another form of therapy that can be used to improve one’s overall states of health and pain control.”
