Pain Management

1/3 of the US population lives with daily pain. If you have pain, you may have already tried multiple prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and/or possible surgical interventions. Whether your injury is acute or chronic, acupuncture treatments are individualized to target the pain as well as the root causes behind your pain. Dr. Novak will design treatments that will help to decrease inflammation, improve mobility, and allow the body to heal itself from the inside out with minimal risk and few to no side effects.
