Acupuncture
A non-invasive treatment using tiny needles to manage pain and promote overall well-being.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture effectively decreases pain and restores function, tapping into the body's natural healing mechanisms through a method refined over centuries.
This time-tested practice goes beyond pain relief, offering a non-invasive solution for chronic conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, and even digestive, respiratory, and autoimmune disorders. You’ll begin with an initial consultation with Dr. Savage to determine if acupuncture is the right fit for you. If you’re a candidate, you could receive your first treatment on the same day. Our dedicated team is committed to providing effective treatments, helping patients reclaim a life lived pain-free.
