A treatment modality that has been around for centuries, acupuncture is the process of inserting fine needles to induce a physiological change. Acupuncture has been shown to increase blood flow, increase collagen production, stimulate muscles, and decrease nociception (pain signaling). 

​Treatments target local tissue, spinal-segmental levels, as well as extra-segmental inputs and often involve the use of electrical stimulation (electroacupuncture) to enhance the beneficial effects. 

For those who have never experienced acupuncture, Dr. Scappaticci implements multiple painless needling techniques to ensure the patient is comfortable during treatment.
