ALLERGY AND SINUS RELIEF IS POSSIBLE! OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH PAIN RELIEVING TREATMENTS SO YOU CAN GET BACK TO

LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE!

Dr. Kristen Markwith, gives us insight on how her treatments help with sinuses and allergies that affect so many of us!

Affecting the tissue lining your sinus cavity, sinus allergies are not fun to deal with. These sinus allergies cause inflammation and swelling to the tissue, making it hard to breathe through your nose, as well as mucus build up which may lead to a runny nose or postnasal drip.

"Acupuncture treats the symptoms associated with allergies and sinuses by improving blood flow, relaxing the muscles and draining the mucus. We also use O3 Reboot Therapy ™ that works from the inside of the body." says Dr. Markwith.

"It's the combination of our therapies within our treatment plans that is the real game changer!”

Trend Acupuncture's O3 Reboot Therapy™ uses a highly active form of oxygen to encourage the body to selfheal from the inside. When paired with acupuncture, the treatments tag team these symptoms for lasting relief. Gene P. tells us his experience!

"Sometimes, our patients say they notice their congestion lessen during their treatments. Their relief is why I do what I do! I'm here to help those that want help." says Dr. Markwith.

Allergy and sinus season is upon us and if you're like Gene who doesn't like the drowsiness and fatigue after medications, schedule an appointment for consultation with Dr. Markwith.

This lists a few of the allergy symptoms her treatments can treat: • Runny Nose • Stuffy Nose • Inflammation • Congestion • Itchy Eyes • Scratchy Throat

"I searched on the internet about alternate ways to help with my sinus allergies and acupuncture was one of the top answers. I don't like the side affects of over the counter medications, they make me sleepy, but I want to golf!”

Gene is one of Dr. Markwith’s many patients who golfs on a regular basis. He was so disappointed that he had to cut his games short from the overwhelming pressure build up.

"When I’d seen acupuncture was a top recommendation, I remembered seeing Dr. Markwith's commercial on TV and thought 'this has to be a sign, I have to make an appointment'. I called and was scheduled within the week thankfully!”

Gene spoke with Dr. Markwith and the treatment plan sounded amazing. He started immediately with treatment after his consultation. "After the first 2 weeks, I was able to get through all 18 holes of a golf game without any issues!" said Gene.
