"...wealth of knowledge and experience."
My experience at Summit Acupuncture is always stellar. Jason and Steph have a wealth of knowledge and experience, able to pinpoint (hah) subtle, acute, or large scale disturbances in the body and recalibrate accordingly. I always leave my acupuncture sessions feeling relaxed and at ease. I highly recommend Summit to anyone who's dealing with discomfort, be it physical, mental, emotional or otherwise. They will help!

Targeted Muscle Relief
Orthopedic Acupuncture addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, from acute injuries to chronic pain conditions. By utilizing a targeted approach, it can alleviate discomfort caused by muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, and nerve compression. As a result, patients often experience improved mobility, flexibility, and overall quality of life.
​
In addition to Motor Point Acupuncture, Summit Acupuncture practitioners are skilled in assessing and treating myofascial pain and trigger points. By incorporating these techniques, we can effectively release tight muscle fibers and restore proper muscle balance. This comprehensive approach not only helps to reduce pain but also prevents future injuries by promoting optimal alignment and biomechanics.
​
Patient education is another crucial component of our Orthopedic Acupuncture treatments at Summit Acupuncture. We believe that empowering our patients with knowledge about their musculoskeletal health is essential for achieving lasting results. Our practitioners provide tailored advice on corrective exercises, stretching, and self-care techniques to support your ongoing recovery and maintain the benefits achieved through our Orthopedic Acupuncture treatments.

"...I would recommend to ANYONE!"
I would recommend Summit and Dr. Stephanie to ANYONE! Every single treatment i’ve had here so far has been great, and Dr. Stephanie walks me through every step of the process, always checks in with me to make sure I am comfortable and is more than happy to answer any questions I have. We went from working on a back injury to a knee injury and I will continue to come to her with any needs I have in the future once both injuries feel stable.

What Should I Expect During My Orthopedic Acupuncture Treatment?
At Summit Acupuncture in Philadelphia, our expertise lies in the specialized and highly effective method of orthopedic acupuncture. This approach aims to alleviate pain and restore function by addressing trigger points and muscle tension. In this section, we'll walk you through the orthopedic acupuncture treatment process, making sure you feel informed and ready for the experience.
​
Initial Consultation:
Prior to your orthopedic acupuncture session, our skilled practitioners will carry out a comprehensive evaluation of your condition, encompassing your medical history, symptoms, and desired treatment outcomes. This information allows us to create a customized treatment plan designed just for you.
​
Preparation:
We suggest wearing loose, comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the areas being treated. If necessary, we'll offer draping to maintain your privacy throughout the session. Regardless of your attire, don't stress about it – we have an ample supply of drapes to accommodate you if you're coming from work or a workout!
​
Orthopedic Acupuncture Procedure:
During orthopedic acupuncture, we insert slender, sterile, single-use needles directly into taut muscle bands or trigger points. Our adept practitioners will carefully insert the needles, often using a gentle tapping motion. You might experience mild discomfort, pressure, or a "twitch response" as the needle reaches the intended area. This brief sensation signifies that the treatment is effectively addressing the muscle fibers. Most patients describe this feeling as peculiar and slightly achy but not painful.
​
Duration:
An orthopedic acupuncture session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, contingent on the intricacy of your condition and the number of treatment areas. Our practitioners will continually assess your comfort and treatment response, making adjustments as necessary to enhance pain relief and efficacy.
​
Post-Treatment Care:
Following the treatment, you may encounter temporary soreness or stiffness in the treated regions. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. To assist in recovery and encourage optimal results, we advise gentle stretching, hydration, and the application of heat. We generally do not recommend ice after orthopedic acupuncture, motor point acupuncture, or traditional acupuncture. Optimal heat application methods include Epsom salt baths, heating pads, or a hot shower. We frequently suggest Evil Bone Water or Dr. Guo's 37 Healing Salve post-treatment for pain conditions. These supplements can be purchased at our office following your visit.
​
Follow-Up Orthopedic Acupuncture Appointments:
Your specific condition and treatment objectives may necessitate a series of orthopedic acupuncture sessions. Our practitioners will collaborate with you to devise a follow-up plan that caters to your needs, ensuring enduring pain relief and improved function.
​
