WHAT ACUPUNCTURE TREATS
Acupuncture - What It Treats and How It Works
Acupuncture at Myrtle Grove Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center uses thin single-use sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to support circulation, reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and activate the body's natural healing response. Dr. Arthur Annis, DC, Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM) is nationally board certified in acupuncture — a credential held by fewer than 50% of acupuncture providers.
Myrtle Grove Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center treats patients for pain management, stress and cortisol regulation, headaches, appetite and weight management, skin conditions, hormonal support, and general wellness. Acupuncture is frequently combined with chiropractic adjustments at the same visit for patients managing musculoskeletal conditions.
Before your first session
What to Know Before Your 1st Appointment
Patients scheduling acupuncture at Myrtle Grove Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center in Wilmington, NC should wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to arms, legs, and the lower back. Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before the session — arriving on an empty stomach can cause lightheadedness. Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of treatment.
After an acupuncture session at the 5552 Carolina Beach Rd location, most
patients benefit from 24 hours of lighter activity. Drinking water and avoiding strenuous exercise the same day helps the body process the treatment. Most patients from Carolina Beach and Kure Beach notice results within 2–4 sessions for acute conditions and 6–8 sessions for chronic conditions.
