Awarding Winning Acupuncture in Ocala, FL

ornament-slider

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.

I am leaving a review for the Deep Tissue Trigger Point Therapy service provided by Lucia Vazquez.Communication- 10 out of 10Service- 10 out of 10Atmosphere- 10 out of 10I felt very comfortable expressing my opinions and asking for anything during my massage appointment with Lucia Vazquez. Although I didn't have to, it was important to me to feel at ease. The massage was the best I've ever had. Lucia was able to find knots that I didn't even know I had, and by the end, I felt incredibly relaxed. I would definitely recommend Lucia to my friends and family, and I plan to book another appointment with her in the future.

Love this practice! They offer a variety of times and a great mix of services so you can select a treatment that’s best for your needs. I’ve seen a few of their therapists now and have been very happy with each! My favorites are the deep tissue and medical massages.

I have chronic neck and back pain. And I’ve suffered with it for years and years. I’ve had “ massages “ and some were actually really good. BUT none of them actually made a difference until today. I travel for work ( contributes to the pain) so I generally don’t have time for me. However today I was home and had some time to kill and I was in pain. I RANDOMLY selected B. W. H. M. W. C. and scheduled an appointment with JOANNE for that afternoon. No hassle. No problem. It’s a nice atmosphere. Typical. But who cares. I could and probably should go on for pages about the therapeutic treatment I received today. JOANNE is a solid and knowledgeable professional. And a nice person. She beat me up for an hour 😂. And I would have gladly let her continue for three more. The thing that amazed me is that I could feel my body changing. My legs seemed longer. I gained circulation in my hands where there was none. And I felt like a totally different person. My neck is NOT 100%. But that would have been “ water into wine “ if you know what I mean. And I do feel that given the time and additional visits I would be as near to that lofty number as is possible for me. I will be back. Soon. JOANNE showed me today what a great therapeutic massage is supposed to be. Run, walk, shamble to this establishment and expect to be astounded.

I like that she let me talk but also when I wanted to relax she accommodated that also! She was very in tune with me and I will for sure return for more facials! Then at 5:30 I got a Swedish massage with Caitlyn who did my prenatal massages last year (nov.&dec.2023) to prepare me for my water birth which I successfully had 1/14/24!!!! She is amazing, knows just what to do and I had an amazing relaxing time at be well holistic all around! The oils and scents they use are perfect, the place is always clean, I feel at home and I’m so happy to be pampered and truly cared for and not just another client or product! They value my well being with awesome care!! Thank you!!!

I have been struggling from a long-ago exercise injury to the groin. I’ve been through PT, deep tissue massage, acupuncture, electro-conductive therapy (excruciating), steroid injection, and finally surgery. Nothing has worked like the medical massage I had with Joanne. I’m walking again without pain. Unbelievable!!!! I am finally hopeful again.

Best Massage Ever!! I've had many massages here and at other places. By far this is the best; from the cleanliness to staff professionalism. I have never been dissatisfied, in fact I leave much better and feeling like a spring chicken.If you are looking for a place that takes care in their craft, you've found it.Update: Over the years I have continued to receive the best massages. The staff, the space, and the energy of Be Well Massage and Wellness Center is unparalleled, they are the Best of the Best!Yesterday, I tried the infrared sauna for the first time. Wow, what a great experience. I feel like I was able to breathe better and was able to get a nice detox. The whole experience was just more than I expected! It was perfectly paired with my massage.

This place is a total hidden gem in Ocala. It's been my first massage treatment and I went with almost the full package: infrared sauna, 1 hour massage + facial and chiropractor. As a first time customer, you also get rebates. The staff is very attentive, explains everything and never makes you feel uncomfortable. The sauna was already very relaxing, chilling music and breathing exercises guide you through 30 minutes of mild sweating - which felt great and detoxifying. Afterwards, I got warmed cleaning towels, a robe and slippers and we went to my massage therapy. The massage therapist can concentrate on areas or do a full body massage, I picked the latter. I liked how soft-spoken she was which took away all of my anxiety, yet being able to give a powerful massage (she encouraged me to pick the intensity). During the treatment I felt so relaxed, I almost dozed off. BTW you never feel indecent, you can dress down to your level of comfort and she'll leave the room while you're getting on the table. All parts the therapist is not working on are covered by a warm blanket. The last treatment was the Chiropractor, which was a life altering experience for me. My neck and back got cracked in place and I honestly felt like I'd been reborn afterwards. I can only recommend BeWell massage to the fullest, the whole experience helped me to take my stress and anxiety from a long road trip away and made me feel like walking on clouds for a whole day. Treat your body and soul once in a while, you will not regret it.

As a local, Be Well has always been my favorite spa! What kept me coming back time and time again was the atmosphere and how calming and soothing it is inside. I love what the company represents with all organic products, all the way down to their laundry soap! There is an air of kindness to the building always, and Brittney did exceptionally detailed bodywork to me. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! It’s good for the soul to all who walk in.My boyfriend and I got a couples massage the first time we ever went and it was so enriching, calm, and effective for the both of us. We will continuously support this lovely establishment.

My boyfriend and I came to get deep tissue + hot stone massage for his birthday. We both came with back pain and got out from there same thing maybe worse… we asked especially for deep tissue strong massage that we didn’t got. They forgot about the stones and had to deal with that on the time of the massage. The massage was very pricy and we both went out from there really disappointed. We need to go do another massage after this

I’ve had more than a few massages in my 68 years, but none better than the one I experienced today with Hannah Talsky. She was interested in exactly what I needed before starting and then she hit every area perfectly. The atmosphere (ambience) was perfect, and everyone I met was kind and professional. I’m glad I stopped in to check it out instead of calling for my appointment as I was greeted by Hannah and knew instantly that I was in the right place. I’ll be back - soon !!

I’ve been to this spa/wellness center once before and had an amazing service! I’ve tried going back twice now and unfortunately both times I’ve scheduled service I’ve had my appointment cancelled because either the booking system isn’t being properly maintained so members of staff that are not available show up as available or I’ve been the only appointment for an “available not available” staff member and then you get a late night call and an hour before service appointment cancellation email. This has now happened to me twice. I won’t be trying to book service here again. I hope you can get your booking system fixed and staff scheduling coordinated more effectively for future customers.

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.

I have been struggling from a long-ago exercise injury to the groin. I’ve been through PT, deep tissue massage, acupuncture, electro-conductive therapy (excruciating), steroid injection, and finally surgery. Nothing has worked like the medical massage I had with Joanne. I’m walking again without pain. Unbelievable!!!! I am finally hopeful again.

Best Massage Ever!! I've had many massages here and at other places. By far this is the best; from the cleanliness to staff professionalism. I have never been dissatisfied, in fact I leave much better and feeling like a spring chicken.If you are looking for a place that takes care in their craft, you've found it.Update: Over the years I have continued to receive the best massages. The staff, the space, and the energy of Be Well Massage and Wellness Center is unparalleled, they are the Best of the Best!Yesterday, I tried the infrared sauna for the first time. Wow, what a great experience. I feel like I was able to breathe better and was able to get a nice detox. The whole experience was just more than I expected! It was perfectly paired with my massage.

This place is a total hidden gem in Ocala. It's been my first massage treatment and I went with almost the full package: infrared sauna, 1 hour massage + facial and chiropractor. As a first time customer, you also get rebates. The staff is very attentive, explains everything and never makes you feel uncomfortable. The sauna was already very relaxing, chilling music and breathing exercises guide you through 30 minutes of mild sweating - which felt great and detoxifying. Afterwards, I got warmed cleaning towels, a robe and slippers and we went to my massage therapy. The massage therapist can concentrate on areas or do a full body massage, I picked the latter. I liked how soft-spoken she was which took away all of my anxiety, yet being able to give a powerful massage (she encouraged me to pick the intensity). During the treatment I felt so relaxed, I almost dozed off. BTW you never feel indecent, you can dress down to your level of comfort and she'll leave the room while you're getting on the table. All parts the therapist is not working on are covered by a warm blanket. The last treatment was the Chiropractor, which was a life altering experience for me. My neck and back got cracked in place and I honestly felt like I'd been reborn afterwards. I can only recommend BeWell massage to the fullest, the whole experience helped me to take my stress and anxiety from a long road trip away and made me feel like walking on clouds for a whole day. Treat your body and soul once in a while, you will not regret it.

As a local, Be Well has always been my favorite spa! What kept me coming back time and time again was the atmosphere and how calming and soothing it is inside. I love what the company represents with all organic products, all the way down to their laundry soap! There is an air of kindness to the building always, and Brittney did exceptionally detailed bodywork to me. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! It’s good for the soul to all who walk in.My boyfriend and I got a couples massage the first time we ever went and it was so enriching, calm, and effective for the both of us. We will continuously support this lovely establishment.

My boyfriend and I came to get deep tissue + hot stone massage for his birthday. We both came with back pain and got out from there same thing maybe worse… we asked especially for deep tissue strong massage that we didn’t got. They forgot about the stones and had to deal with that on the time of the massage. The massage was very pricy and we both went out from there really disappointed. We need to go do another massage after this

I’ve had more than a few massages in my 68 years, but none better than the one I experienced today with Hannah Talsky. She was interested in exactly what I needed before starting and then she hit every area perfectly. The atmosphere (ambience) was perfect, and everyone I met was kind and professional. I’m glad I stopped in to check it out instead of calling for my appointment as I was greeted by Hannah and knew instantly that I was in the right place. I’ll be back - soon !!

I’ve been to this spa/wellness center once before and had an amazing service! I’ve tried going back twice now and unfortunately both times I’ve scheduled service I’ve had my appointment cancelled because either the booking system isn’t being properly maintained so members of staff that are not available show up as available or I’ve been the only appointment for an “available not available” staff member and then you get a late night call and an hour before service appointment cancellation email. This has now happened to me twice. I won’t be trying to book service here again. I hope you can get your booking system fixed and staff scheduling coordinated more effectively for future customers.

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.

I had a fantastic experience at Be Well last Friday. The online health screening simplified the check-in process on the day of the appointment, which is a plus for me. The staff is super friendly, and the center is spotless and relaxing.

Acupuncture FAQs

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.
