How Acupuncture works:​
​
Acupuncture works by inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points along the body's meridians to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and restore balance to the flow of qi. The exact points used will depend on the patient's symptoms and the acupuncturist's assessment.

Why Choose Acupuncture?
Acupuncture:
🌿 releases neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which are involved in regulating mood and emotions. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters in the body, acupuncture can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.
🌿 stimulates the body's immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells and other immune system cells. This can help to improve the body's ability to fight off infections and other illnesses.
🌿 releases endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Endorphins can help to alleviate pain and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.
🌿 reduces inflammation and swelling, which can contribute to pain and injury. By increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, acupuncture can help to promote healing and reduce the risk of further injury.
🌿 reduces muscle tension and spasms. By targeting specific points along the body's meridians, acupuncture can help to relax tense muscles and relieve muscle spasms, which can be a common cause of pain and discomfort.
🌿 regulates the production and release of hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. This can be particularly helpful for conditions such as PMS, irregular periods, and infertility.
Testimonials
🌿
Our sessions with Dr. Maryna began my healing process. Since then I have been getting better and better. I went to the doctor and got the diagnosis of Arthritis and immediately thought I would have to have hip surgery. But I decided to try alternative means first. I did a lot of search and research around healing arthritis. The key has been acupuncture, massage, exercise and food. I went from barely being able to walk due to extreme pain in my hip to now being back to being able to walk 2-3 miles. And increasing week to week. When I saw Dr. Maryna I could barely walk, I was in so much pain. I am nearly pain free, as long as I keep up with my activities.

Dr. Maryna is an exceptional pain and injury specialist. Dr. Maryna doesn't just focus on the pain itself, but also on the root cause of the pain. She understands that physical pain is often connected to emotional and spiritual issues. Her treatments have helped me not only with pain, but also with digestive issues that I have experienced.
I have personally gone to her when I experienced an injury and I can attest that her treatments have been immensely helpful in my recovery process.
