Q
What can acupuncture do for me?
Lisa Lapwing suffered from back pain her entire life. An avid martial arts practitioner and exercise junkie, she dealt with her pain through strength training—until she met someone at her gym who recommended acupuncture. She tried it ,and it took away the worst of her pain in four to six sessions. She became a convert. She sought out education and training and settled on a leading school in Austin, Texas. That was 2007. Three and a half years later, she graduated and has been a certified, licensed Acupuncture Physician ever since.
“Name the pain, I can treat it. Acupuncture is truly miraculous in the ways and the varieties of health issues it can help with. I currently specialize in men’s health issues—BPH, ED, infertility. I treat prostate cancer patients before, during, and after their treatments. No, I don’t cure their cancer. But I can certainly provide pain relief and ease depression and anxiety as they fight it. “I once had a woman reach out to me about her sister. She suffered from an incurable disease similar to ALS and was in severe pain,
with creeping paralysis and diminishing mobility. I was able to relieve her pain and give her a calm, peaceful, hopeful space before she transitioned.” It is important, and Dr. Lisa makes the point emphatically, that people who wish to try acupuncture receive their treatment from a certified and licensed professional. “I know of chiropractors and physical therapists offering acupuncture services and I find that frightening. It takes skill and specialized knowledge to know exactly where to insert an acupuncture needle,

how deep to put it, how to achieve the desired result.” Acupuncture is not mysterious anymore. Backed by medical science and centuries of documented use, it may be just the miracle you’ve been searching for! M AY/ JU N E 202 3
