Acupuncture & Electro-Acupuncture at Anchor Point Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a non-invasive therapy that involves the gentle placement of very fine needles at specific points on the body to support nervous system regulation, circulation, and physiologic balance. These points help activate the body’s natural healing responses and promote improved function over time. Many patients describe acupuncture treatments as deeply relaxing and restorative, often reporting improvements in comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.
Electro-acupuncture is a modern enhancement of traditional acupuncture that uses mild, controlled electrical stimulation at acupuncture points. This technique allows for deeper neuromuscular and nerve-level support and may be incorporated for patients with chronic pain, nerve dysfunction, muscle weakness, or neurologic recovery needs. Electro-acupuncture is always applied thoughtfully and adjusted to patient comfort.
Anchor Point Acupuncture is a locally owned integrative acupuncture clinic serving Rockville, Gaithersburg, Bethesda, and surrounding Maryland communities. Care is personalized, unrushed, and focused on measurable results.
