She integrates her knowledge in eastern and western medicine to achieve the best possible and successful therapeutic outcome. Her greatest reward is patient satisfaction. Madeline Martinez, PA-C, L.Ac., M.S., is licensed and board certified both as an Acupuncturist and as a Physician Assistant in primary care and surgery. She has over 14 years' experience in medicine, including orthopedics, ER, family medicine, dermatology, and neurosurgery. As a result of the limitations of western medicine, including the potential side effects that medications can have, she was inspired to further her skills and education by obtaining a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is also trained in the MeiZen Cosmetic Acupuncture System, as well as Japanese healing techniques and is able to offer her patients different options in promoting good health and preventing disease. Preventative care is the key to optimum health. We have great success with acupuncture treatments used for a wide variety of illnesses or imbalances resulting in reduced pain (back pain, migraines, tendonitis, post-surgical pain, arthritis, chronic swelling, to name a few) as well as infertility, anxiety, improved energy and digestion, greater sense of well-being, and restful sleep. In addition, acupuncture is very successful for promoting smoking cessation and weight loss, as well as stabilizing and improving allergies and asthma. Acupuncture is extremely effective as a part of your regular health maintenance and disease prevention program. One of the many advantages of acupuncture is that it is safe, effective, and free of the many side effects commonly seen in modern medicine. During your acupuncture treatment, you can expect very fine, disposable, sterile needles, about as thick as a human hair, to gently be inserted at specific acupoints or locations on the body. These may be removed immediately or left in place for approximately 20-30 minutes while you rest. Typically, patients describe their treatments as very relaxing and notice an increase in health and energy in the hours and days following treatment.
