You may benefit from our wide variety of acupuncture options that we offer (Gua Sha, Auricular, Cupping and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture).
What is medical acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a growing part of integrative healthcare practice. When qualified physicians administer acupuncture, it’s called “medical acupuncture.” These physicians are trained in both modern medicine and acupuncture, which gives them the ability to examine a problem, make a diagnosis, and offer treatment options from both the modern medical and Chinese acupuncture standpoint. Medical acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting fine needles into certain points across the body, to encourage healing and pain relief. Needles are used to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins.
Conditions recommended for treatment with Medical Acupuncture:
- Chronic pain, such as neck pain
- Joint pain
- Dental pain
- Postoperative pain
- Acute sinusitis
- Acute rhinitis
- Common cold
Dr. Mainier can assess your case and tailor treatment to individual symptoms. Her goal is for you to have more energy, less pain, remain optimistic, and achieve your wellness goals.
