Comprehensive Acupuncture Therapy at Tampa Spine and Wellness
At Tampa Spine and Wellness, we incorporate various acupuncture techniques to alleviate pain, restore balance, and enhance overall wellness. Our treatments may include:
✔ Traditional Chinese Acupuncture – Stimulating specific energy points along the body's meridians to restore the natural flow of qi (chi).
✔ Western Medical Acupuncture – Targeting nerves, muscles, and connective tissues to enhance circulation, release tension, and stimulate natural painkillers.
✔ Acupuncture with Heat & Pressure – Using therapeutic warmth and controlled pressure to maximize the effects of treatment.
✔ Laser Acupuncture – A needle-free, non-invasive option that uses laser light to stimulate acupuncture points for pain relief and healing.
​
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been practiced for centuries as a natural and effective approach to treating a wide range of conditions. By gently inserting ultra-thin needles at specific points on the body, acupuncture can relieve pain, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. While many patients seek acupuncture for pain management, it is also known to increase energy, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
If you’ve been in an auto accident, acupuncture can help treat lower back pain and neck pain due to injury. It can also help bring relief from headaches, menstrual cramps, and much more!
​
According to Chinese medical acupuncture, stimulating specific acupuncture points corrects imbalances in the flow of energy or life force — known as qi or chi (CHEE) — through the channels known as meridians. The blockage of these meridian channels can cause pain or illness. In contrast, many Western acupuncture practitioners view acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. This stimulation appears to boost the activity of your body's natural painkillers and increase blood flow.
​
It’s no secret; Many first-time patients may feel apprehensive toward acupuncture treatments. Have no fear. The risks of acupuncture are low if you have a competent, certified acupuncture practitioner like Dr. Lott. At Tampa-Spine and Wellness, we prioritize risk-free, stress-free, and highly-effective sessions. Possible side effects and complications may include:
How Does Acupuncture Work?
​
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective
​
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body’s energy, or qi (chi), flows through meridians (energy pathways that connect different parts of the body). When meridians become blocked or imbalanced, it can result in pain, illness, or reduced vitality. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupuncture points to restore the proper flow of qi, allowing the body to heal naturally and function optimally.
​
Western Medical Perspective
​
From a Western medical standpoint, acupuncture is known to:
✔ Stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue
✔ Trigger the release of endorphins and natural pain-relieving chemicals
✔ Improve circulation and promote tissue healing
✔ Reduce inflammation and enhance overall relaxation
By combining both Eastern and Western approaches, our acupuncture treatments at Tampa Spine and Wellness provide a comprehensive and highly effective method for managing pain and improving overall health.
​
What Conditions Can Acupuncture Treat?
​
Acupuncture is an excellent natural therapy for a variety of conditions, including:
✔ Lower back pain and neck pain (especially after an auto accident)
✔ Headaches and migraines
✔ Muscle tension and joint pain
✔ Sciatica and nerve pain
✔ Arthritis and inflammation
✔ Menstrual cramps and hormonal imbalances
✔ Anxiety, stress, and insomnia
✔ Digestive disorders and nausea
✔ Post-surgical pain relief
​
If you’ve recently been in a car accident, acupuncture can be an effective treatment for injuries such as whiplash, spinal discomfort, and muscle stiffness. It is also beneficial for overall relaxation and stress reduction, helping your body recover from the emotional and physical strain of an accident. For all your acupuncture needs in Tampa, including Seminole Heights, our team is here to help.

Is Acupuncture Safe? Understanding the Risks & Benefits
​
Many first-time patients may feel apprehensive about acupuncture, but rest assured—when performed by a skilled, certified practitioner like Dr. Lott, acupuncture is extremely safe and highly effective. At Tampa Spine and Wellness, we prioritize risk-free, stress-free, personalized care to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your treatment.
​
Possible Side Effects (Extremely Rare in the Hands of a Professional)
​
✔ Mild Soreness – You may experience slight soreness, minor bruising, or a tiny amount of bleeding at the needle sites.
✔ Organ Injury (Extremely Rare) – If needles are inserted too deeply, there is a slight risk of puncturing an organ (particularly the lungs). However, in the hands of a trained, licensed acupuncturist, this is exceptionally rare.
✔ Infections (Prevented by Sterile Practices) – Licensed acupuncturists are required to use sterile, disposable needles to eliminate the risk of infection. We adhere to the highest safety standards to ensure a clean and sterile treatment environment.
While acupuncture is safe for most individuals, some patients may not be suitable for certain types of treatment. If you're unsure whether acupuncture is right for you, our team is happy to discuss your health history and recommend the best treatment options for your needs
