Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture, performed by Dr. Danyo, combines the modern knowledge of disease, neuromuscular anatomy and pain chemistry with classical Chinese acupuncture. It is believed to affect the central nervous system by releasing chemicals and hormones that influence our body’s regulation of muscles, organs and nerves.
As a physician specializing in pain management, Dr. Danyo uses his expertise to combine acupuncture with Western medical treatment techniques such as spinal injections and nerve blocks. It is performed in a safe and comfortable medical environment and is often a simple, painless and effective part of a patient’s overall pain management and wellness plan.
