Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that helps align the body through meridians. Prior to getting ac-upuncture, the doctor will ask about your health history and may give you a physical exam. During your session, thin needles may be placed in specific areas to address your concern or condition.
As a practitioner from China, Dr. Ma brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to residents at his practice in Sum-merfield. As an herbalist, Dr. Ma may custom blend Chinese herbs exclusively for you as part of the session.
An acupuncture session usually takes 30 minutes, although some appointments may be longer. The number of treat-ments will depend on the condition being treated, however, you should feel improvement with each treatment.
These testimonials are from real recipients of acupuncture from Dr. Ma at the Acupuncture Xin Chinese Clinic.
“Dr. Ma is truly remarkable and his exceptional understanding of the functions of the human body is only exceeded by his heart and dedication to helping people live pain-free.” – Sue, The Villages Continue reading
