Oriental Medicine

Acupuncture is a technique that involves inserting very thin metal needles into the skin at precise points on the body to clear energy channels, with the aim of restoring and maintaining health.

The spots of insertion are picked based on a complex network of lines of energy, termed meridians. Meridians are thought to encircle the body like global lines of longitude and latitude.

Came here to relax and get away from reality. Although my therapist was good, the atmosphere/environment was absolutely terrible. At the 25th street location, they share an office with a chiropractic center and they were beyond noisy and unprofessional. The walls are paper thin as it is an older building, but at one point I asked if they were having a party that we weren’t invited to. Not 45 mins into the 90 min massage, it sounded like a construction zone in the room next door (maybe working on the hydraulic chiro table? Who knows). My poor therapist had to ask them to be quiet and stated that she often has to do that. I was given a 5% discount which wasn’t expected but appreciated. I usually never complain but being a massage therapist myself, I know those types of conditions not only prohibit relaxation but they can also block a therapists concentration and flow. I won’t go back again, but it wasn’t because of the therapist, it’s due to the atmosphere and unprofessionalism of their cohabitants

I was told to be at the massage office at 9 am, and arrived perhaps 5 minutes early. There was no one there, so I settled down with a book to wait.When the massage therapist arrived on his motorcycle the first thing I noticed was that he wore a full beard.I do not expect the men and women who wait on me in public ot be young and attractive, but I do expect them to be clean-cut and properly groomed. This means, no facial piercings, no visible tattoos, and no facial hair. It is a fact that people instinctively distrust men with beards.In any case his personal appearance colored my judgment of his performance, and I will NOT be back to that office for a massage.

Having had rotator cuff surgery in the past, I thought that was my only option. Brittney has given me full range of motion with just one session!Brittney is extremely knowledgeable and answered my every question. She is a God send! I kid you not, she has changed my life. I am forever grateful, and I will be on her schedule again in the very near future!You rock Ms Brittney❣️

Brittney is extremely talented when it comes to body work. I am a fellow massage therapist and I am so inspired by her knowledge, patience, and intuition. Her wellness center has beautiful energy, and calming aromatherapy as soon as you walk through the front door. She offers a wide variety of services and every massage I’ve had with her is completely customized to what I need at that time. After my massage I got to experience the Halo Therapy Sauna and let me tell you, I felt like a new woman walking out. I felt so refreshed, relaxed, and people even commented that I was glowing! So thankful for Brittney, her staff, and her space. Be Well is a great place for holistic healing.

Acupuncture FAQs

ornament-slider

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a mainstay of traditional Chinese medicine, which has been practiced for thousands of years. The Chinese healing tradition sees the body as a delicate balance of yin and yang. These are two opposing, but inseparable forces. According to traditional Chinese medicine, disease occurs when the forces of yin and yang are out of balance.

 

What Should I Expect Before and After Acupuncture Treatment?

At your initial appointment, Dr. David M Park, D.O.M, L.Ac. AP 4075,

 Acupuncture Physician
 Clinical Professor at EWCNM
 Specialty: Tung's & Saam Acupuncture

A nationally certified Acupuncturist licensed in the state of Florida, will conduct a detailed evaluation. Using principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine, he will identify causes associated with your individual condition.

After determining your diagnosis,
he will develop a treatment plan incorporating an acupuncture prescription, herbal medicine, supplements and nutritional and lifestyle recommendations.

Dr. Park specializes in, pain control, anti-aging, cosmetic and general wellness issues. Vitamin B12 & Collagen Therapy for Skin, chronic diabetes, hypertension, arthritis & obesity care, well-being consult, anxiety, insomnia, stress, infertility, scar revision, post care after surgery or radiation, chemotherapy, moxa & cupping, TCM cupping is done on request. He offers the traditional needle insertion, dry needling, and electrical stimulation.

        
Sterile, superfine needles are placed at points that correspond to your specific needs. The needles are about the thickness of three hairs, are used only once and are disposed of immediately following your treatment.

You will feel a light tap when the needles are applied. After a moment, you may feel warmth, heaviness, tingling or pressure around the needle. These sensations are normal and desirable.
Acupuncture promotes marked relaxation such that most people fall asleep during the treatment. It is very common to experience a feeling of general well-being afterward.

A typical follow-up appointment lasts about 1 hour and includes time to talk about your progress as well
as receive an acupuncture treatment.
Each person and medical condition respond to treatment at a different pace. Acute conditions usually can be treated within 6-12 sessions, and chronic conditions can often take longer.

 

What Conditions Does Acupuncture Treat?

Acupuncture can treat many types of health issues. Most often, people use it to relieve chronic (long-term) pain, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Back pain, neck pain, knee pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • Pain management
  • Sports injuries.
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Skin disorders (Acne, eczema, hives, boils)
  • Digestive Problems (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, ulcers, acid reflux/GERD)
  • Allergies/Congestion
  • Repetitive strain disorders and overuse syndrome
  • Common Cold
  • Asthma
  • Bronchitis/Chronic Cough

 

Other Conditions Acupuncture May Help Include:

  • Immune Disorders (weak immunity, autoimmune conditions)
  • Hypertension/High Blood Pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer and cancer treatment side effects
  • Face pain and other nerve discomfort
  • Immune system problems
  • Infertility
  • Menopause and hot flashes
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Addictions and rehabilitation

 

What are the Benefits of Acupuncture?

There is some evidence to suggest that acupuncture may have a range of potential health benefits, including:

  • Relief of pain: Acupuncture may be effective at reducing pain associated with a variety of conditions, including headaches, low back pain, and osteoarthritis.
  • Reduction of nausea and vomiting: Acupuncture may help reduce the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, surgery, and other conditions.
  • Improvement of addiction: Acupuncture may be helpful in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with addiction to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
  • Improving fertility: Acupuncture may help improve fertility by regulating menstrual cycles and increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs.
  • Reducing stress and anxiety: Acupuncture may be effective at reducing stress and anxiety, and may also help improve sleep quality.
  • It is important to note that the effectiveness of acupuncture can vary from person to person, and more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits. If you are considering acupuncture, it is important to consult with a qualified practitioner who has experience in this treatment.

 

Herbal Oriental Medicine

In its wisdom, Oriental medicine is able to determine the strengths and weaknesses of individual patients. Many patients experience sub-clinical complaints, such as fatigue, headache, low sex drive or weight gain. Western medicine often does not recognize the significance of these complaints and messages from the body. Oriental medicine views any observable symptom or sign as related to Internal Organ function.

A careful patient interview and exam reveal to the TCM practitioner which systems in the body are strong and which are weak. This method allows not only treatment of the immediate condition, but also keeps the body/mind strong with preventative care.

We access the body’s innate healing mechanisms through the parasympathetic nervous system, the endocrine system and the circulatory system, thereby enabling TCM practitioners to address a variety of complaints.

 

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Acupuncture is considered to be a safe and effective form of treatment when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy and promote healing.

The needles used for acupuncture are sterile and disposable, and the risk of infection is low. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of side effects or complications, such as bruising or bleeding at the needle site, or feeling dizzy or lightheaded after treatment.

It is important to inform the practitioner of any medical conditions or medications that may affect the safety of acupuncture, and to follow any post-treatment recommendations provided by the practitioner.

 

How Often Should Acupuncture Treatment Occur?

The frequency of acupuncture treatment will depend on the individual's condition and goals for treatment. Some people may benefit from frequent treatments, while others may only need occasional treatment. It is generally recommended to start with a series of treatments and then reassess the progress and effectiveness of treatment.

Acupuncture treatment may be scheduled once or twice a week, depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to treatment. As the condition improves, the frequency of treatment may be reduced or spaced out further.

It is important to consult with a licensed acupuncture practitioner to determine the appropriate frequency and duration of treatment for the individual's specific needs.

 

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, and some people may experience a sensation of pressure or discomfort when the needles are inserted. However, acupuncture is generally not considered to be painful, and many people find it to be a relaxing and therapeutic experience.

The needles used for acupuncture are much finer than those used for injections or blood draws, and are designed to minimize discomfort. Some people may feel a sensation of warmth, tingling, or heaviness at the needle site, which is considered to be a normal response to acupuncture.

It is important to inform the practitioner of any discomfort or sensitivity during treatment, as the practitioner can adjust the technique or depth of insertion as needed.

Overall, acupuncture is generally well-tolerated and considered to be a safe and effective form of treatment.

 

Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy and promote healing. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, digestive disorders, respiratory conditions, and stress. While acupuncture has been used for centuries and is widely practiced, the scientific evidence for its effectiveness is mixed.

Some studies have found acupuncture to be effective for certain conditions, while others have not found it to be effective.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized acupuncture as a safe and effective treatment for a number of conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis. However, the effectiveness of acupuncture may vary from person to person, and it is important to consult with a licensed acupuncture practitioner to determine if acupuncture is appropriate for the individual's specific needs.

 

Are There Any Risks Associated with Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is generally considered to be a safe and effective form of treatment when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of side effects or complications. Some potential risks associated with acupuncture include:

  • Infection: The risk of infection is low with acupuncture, but it is important to ensure that the practitioner is using sterile, disposable needles to minimize the risk of infection.
  • Bleeding or bruising: There may be some minor bleeding or bruising at the needle site, but this is generally not a cause for concern and will resolve on its own.
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness: Some people may feel dizzy or lightheaded after acupuncture, particularly if they have not eaten recently or have low blood pressure. It is important to inform the practitioner of any medical conditions or medications that may affect the safety of acupuncture.
  • Needle breakage: In rare cases, a needle may break during acupuncture, which may require additional treatment to remove the broken piece.
  • Allergic reactions: Some people may have an allergic reaction to the needles or materials used in acupuncture, such as the adhesive used to hold the needles in place. It is important to inform the practitioner of any allergies or sensitivities before treatment.

To minimize the chance of any of the above risks, be sure to always use a trained professional.
