When conditions do arise however, acupuncture can be very effective in providing relief. Patients who come in for acupuncture un Maryland and Northern VA have reported benefits in many areas, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fertility<\/li>\n<li>Immunity<\/li>\n<li>Energy optimization<\/li>\n<li>Increased Cellular Respiration<\/li>\n<li>Anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Facial Rejuvenation<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n<li>Digestive Issues<\/li>\n<li>Autoimmune Disorders<\/li>\n<li>Inflammatory Disorders (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Acupuncture for Weight Loss<\/h3>\n<p>Whether losing weight on your own or with the help of one of Nava&#8217;s medical weight loss programs,\u00a0 acupuncture can be used to enhance your weight loss experience. Full body treatments (60 minute sessions) can be used to address symptoms that may occur throughout the weight loss process. Shorter, 30-minute sessions may be implemented to target areas such as the channels associated with digestion and metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>Acupuncture may be able to help with the key symptoms that may occur during a weight loss or detox program, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Hunger<\/li>\n<li>Mood<\/li>\n<li>Sleep<\/li>\n<li>Digestion<\/li>\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As with any other acupuncture service, these treatments can be tailored to the client and can easily be altered at each treatment to fit the client\u2019s symptoms at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Nava acupuncturists can also mark points for injections (B-12, MIC\/B-12, Lidocaine, etc), to be administered by a qualified Nava practitioner.<\/p>\n<h3>Acupuncture and Pain Management<\/h3>\n<p>Acupuncture can be very effective at relieving both chronic and acute conditions. That is why over 80% of patients who seek acupuncture nationally, do so for various pain conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Acupuncture and Hormone Therapy<\/h3>\n<p>When paired with Nava\u2019s Hormone Optimization Therapy, acupuncture can be used weekly to further enhance the client experience by helping provide relief for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hot Flashes<\/li>\n<li>Mood Swings<\/li>\n<li>Low Libido<\/li>\n<li>Generalized fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Impotence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Acupuncture Side Effects<\/h3>\n<p>While some patients will not experience any side effects, a few are actually quite common. Following is a list of the most frequently reported side effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Bruising &amp; soreness at needle sites<\/li>\n<li>Mild muscle twitching<\/li>\n<li>Emotional release<\/li>\n<li>Lightheadedness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For many patients trying acupuncture for the first time, it\u2019s common to ask \u201cdoes acupuncture hurt?\u201d Typically, the answer is no, though some patients report feeling the needles as they are placed in the skin. It\u2019s important to remember that the needles are very thin, and are not hollow like hypodermic needles. This allows them to enter the skin with very little or no discomfort.<\/p>\n<h3>Acupuncture Modalities Offered at Nava<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>TCM<\/li>\n<li>Japanese<\/li>\n<li>5 Element<\/li>\n<li>Balance Method<\/li>\n<li>Gua Sha<\/li>\n<li>Cupping<\/li>\n<li>Moxa<\/li>\n<li>Trigger Point<\/li>\n<li>Classical<\/li>\n<li>Korean 4 Needle<\/li>\n<li>Electrical Stimulation<\/li>\n<li>Tens<\/li>\n<li>Ear Seed<\/li>\n<li>Scalp<\/li>\n<li>Pain Management<\/li>\n<li>Weight Loss<\/li>\n<li>Infertility<\/li>\n<li>Internal Medicine<\/li>\n<li>Stress and Emotional Balance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ready to Schedule An Acupuncture Appointment?<\/h3>\n<p>Schedule your appointment in:<br \/>\nMaryland Acupuncture in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/navacenter.com\/acupuncture-in-columbia\/\">Columbia, MD<\/a><br \/>\nMaryland Acupuncture in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/navacenter.com\/acupuncture-in-bethesda\/\">Bethesda, MD<\/a><br \/>\nNorthern VA Acupuncture in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/navacenter.com\/fairfax-va-acupuncture\/\">Fairfax, VA<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Having a Great Experience With Nava Pays Back<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a great experience with Nava, spread the word and you can rack up NavaRewards.
