Acupuncture

"In a time of rampant opioid abuse in our communities,  Acupuncture offers a safe and effective way to address pain concerns without the use of drugs."

Acupuncture for pain

Acupuncture is an ancient medical practice that involves inserting hair thin needles into specific points on the body in order to balance energy and blood flow to promote healing and well-being. 

Acupuncture is used to treat various physical and mental conditions, including pain, stress, and chronic illnesses. It is a safe and time tested medical modality that is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments to restore overall movement and balance, reduce and eliminate physical and emotional pain and support immunity and good health. 

At FPCA, we practice the model of individualized, patient-centered, and science-based

care and offer Acupuncture with Electrostimulation to address both chronic and acute pain.

"The healer you have been looking for
is your own courage to know and love yourself completely"

Yung Pueblo

“I was fortunate my first acupuncture experience was with Dr. Gabby, and I am sold! In my rec athlete days, I tore multiple muscles, separated my shoulder, and strained a few other things, plus I have a collagen disorder. If it weren't for Dr. Gabby LITERALLY stitching me back together, I would not be where I am today. She helped me step lightyears forward in my healing - accelerating my physical, emotional, and spiritual healing in ways I have sought for years. She guides you, but also allows you to direct the sessions so you feel yourself gaining control of your frame - further strengthening your sense of intuition. I always walk out of her treatments feeling fuller, energized, and yet calm - ready to tackle whatever task lies ahead of me. Can't recommend her enough! Thank you Dr. Gabby :)"
