Indigo Healing Acupuncture

LIFE-CHANGING SOLUTIONS AT INDIGO HEALING ACUPUNCTURE NEAR DRIPPING SPRINGS

Getting a good night of sleep without pain or anxious thoughts is more important than ever. Over the last 4 years, Indigo Healing Acupunc ture has attracted national acclaim for innovative natural treatments that consistently deliver long-term relief from chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia without the typical side effects of prescription and overthe counter drugs. In 2021 and 2022, the clinic won triple Dripping Springs awards for Best Acupuncture, Best Pain Management, and Best Alternative Medicine.

PAIN, ANXIETY AND POOR SLEEP AFFECT

EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE

As parents and workaholics know, too many restless nights can take a heavy toll on daily life. As pain levels increase, emotions may spiral out-of-control with frequent crying spells or anxiety, concentration and focus disappear into all-day brain fog, and severe fatigue impairs the ability to cope with life’s daily stressors often leading to outbursts of frustration and anger. Common side effects of typical pain and sleep medications can include brain fog, metabolic changes (typically weight gain), memory loss, mood swings, nausea, fatigue and more. In some cases, these side-effects feel worse than the pain that initially kept you awake.

LONG-TERM RELIEF IS POSSIBLE

At your first appointment you’ll meet one-on-one with Dr. Michelle Wendt, L.Ac., DACM to listen to your story and understand you as a whole person, not just a constellation of symptoms. We treat all ages, from infants to centenarians. Our team, including Acupuncturist Pakanok Klingfoi, delivers customized treatment strategies to naturally encourage homeostasis in the endocrine system and nervous system to promote deep and restorative healing from the inside out. We can help you relieve chronic pain, calm your anxious mind, and sleep through the night. With convenient appointment times available in the morn ing, afternoon, and evening, our patients benefit from a comprehen sive care strategy that relies on the healing synergy of acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbs, fire cupping, massage therapy, non-invasive

BioMat® Therapy, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, Ozone Regenerative Therapy, ATP Resonance Biotherapy™ and more!

Indigo Healing Acupuncture is continually evolving with a blend of tradi tional medicine, science, and personal connection designed to nurture and guide our patients through their most difficult health challenges. We often team up with local integrative MDs to put all the puzzle pieces together to solve mysterious medical conditions. Our overarching goal is to improve the life of every human who walks through our door in the Austin Hill Country.

WE ARE YOUR GO-TO EYE DOCTORS FOR YOUR FAMILY’S EYE CARE NEEDS

We are the original eyecare providers in the Bee Cave and Dripping Springs communities, and we personally and professionally manage your family's eye health requirements. With each appointment, our patients get to know us better, and we get to provide them with a treat ment plan that is tailored to their specific needs. Our practices provide complete eye exams, individualized LASIK consultations, and the management of medical eye conditions. In ad dition, if you prefer not to have your eyes dilated, we can capture a retinal image of your eyes using the Optomap® instead. You won't have to worry about driving right after your eye exam this way. We also specialize in fitting contact lenses for first time wearers and people who have previously had difficulties wearing contacts. No matter what, we will give you the attention and care that you deserve.

Not only do we have some of the state's best optometrists, but our trendy eyewear selections are sure to "wow" at your next gathering. Each of our Eyeglass Galleries offers a diverse collec tion of highly stylish eyewear created by the best European and American designers, ensuring that you'll discover a pair of glasses to suit your taste and budget.

GET TO KNOW OUR THERAPEUTIC OPTOMETRISTS: BRAD DOBSON, O.D. AND ALEXANDRA NELSON, O.D.

Our doctors make the perfect team. They’re the perfect combination of world-class skills and authentic care for their patients.
