Acupuncture

Awakenings Health provides complete performance stimulating, and rehabilitative care through an East meets West philosophy.

Acupuncture is one of the most ancient and effective healing arts in the world. For several thousand years acupuncture has been used to treat a wide variety of symptoms, conditions, injuries, and diseases. To this day, it remains one of the most continuously practiced medical techniques in all of human history.

Although Acupuncture has been utilized as a complete form of medicine for thousands of years, Dr. Gries has built our acupuncture program to be integrated into all other aspects of your current healthcare regimen. He is able to discuss your condition with any of your health care providers to form a team approach aimed at maximizing your health.

Awakenings has adopted a well-rounded approach to providing acupuncture for our patients. Dr. Gries always makes sure to address the health of your body, mind, and emotional state:

For orthopedic issues or athletic enhancement, he specializes in a direct physical therapy style approach aimed at targeting specific muscle groups for all orthopedic disorders and optimizing and balancing your body mechanics.

For internal imbalances (manifesting as high blood pressure, digestive issues, sinus problems, allergies, sleep problems, stress, OBGYN or fertility issues, etc.) Dr. Gries diagnoses and treats the function of all your organ systems to treat the cause of your problems.

When life seems overwhelming and it is hard to get your thoughts wrapped around your problems and emotions under control, he also utilizes acupuncture and cognitive tools to help you regain balance and guide you through challenging times.
