Medical Acupuncture is a patient-centered, results-driven wellness clinic in Oviedo, FL, serving the greater Orlando area (including Winter Springs, Casselberry, Geneva, Lake Mary, and more). Our team is dedicated to relieving pain, restoring function, and enhancing overall wellness through a unique blend of traditional acupuncture, cutting-edge therapies like shockwave and high intensity laser therapy, and holistic care approaches. Patients consistently praise our knowledgeable staff and effective treatments – many report significant relief from chronic pain conditions (such as back and knee pain) and appreciate our compassionate caremedical-acupuncture.wheree.com. We are proud to be recognized among Orlando’s best acupuncture clinics and are committed to helping you live a healthier, pain-free life.
At Medical Acupuncture, we specialize in acupuncture as a core therapy for pain relief, injury recovery, and overall health maintenance. Our founder and practitioners draw from both classical techniques and modern innovations in acupuncture. This includes mastery of time-honored methods like Master Tung’s acupuncture points (known for rapid pain relief in complex cases) as well as Quick Restorative Acupuncture (QRA™), a modern system designed to accelerate healing. We also utilize Functional Pulse Diagnosis (FPD) to assess your body’s internal imbalances, allowing us to tailor each treatment to your specific needs.
In addition to acupuncture, our clinic offers a range of holistic therapies to support your wellness journey:
Our integrative approach means we address the whole person – not just symptoms. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain or looking to improve your overall wellness, we have the tools and expertise to help.
One of the standout therapies we offer is Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) or simply shockwave therapy. This state-of-the-art treatment uses targeted acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. We utilize industry-leading equipment – including the Storz Medical DUOLITH® SD1 T-Top Ultra and Chattanooga’s radial pressure wave devices (RPW 2) – to deliver both focused and radial pulse shockwaves depending on the condition being treated. (These are the same top-of-the-line technologies distributed by CuraMedix and used in elite clinics worldwide.)
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that can accelerate tissue repair, improve blood circulation, break down scar tissue and calcifications, and reduce pain. Research has shown shockwave therapy to be highly effective for stubborn musculoskeletal conditions. For example, a clinical study on chronic plantar fasciitis concluded that focused shock waves significantly improved patients’ pain levels, functional ability, and overall quality of lifepubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Other studies in sports medicine have similarly confirmed that shockwave therapy can dramatically speed up recovery: in one trial with athletes suffering hamstring injuries, 85% of those who received shockwave therapy achieved at least a 50% reduction in pain after 3 months, compared to only 10% in the standard treatment groupshockwavecanada.com. It’s no surprise, then, that shockwave has become a go-to modality for treating a variety of injuries without drugs or surgery.
What conditions can EPAT/shockwave help with? Shockwave therapy is especially renowned for treating chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries. Some common injuries and conditions successfully treated with shockwaves include hamstring tendinopathy, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and jumper’s kneeshockwavecanada.com, among others. In our practice, we’ve seen excellent outcomes using EPAT to address issues like calcific tendonitis (e.g. calcium deposits in the shoulder’s supraspinatus tendon), rotator cuff injuries, and even stress fractures that won’t heal. The controlled acoustic pulses not only relieve pain but also kickstart the body’s natural healing processes — forming new blood vessels, reducing inflammation, and stimulating cellular repair in the treated area.
Trusted by Professional Athletes: Shockwave therapy isn’t just for clinic patients – it’s also widely used in professional sports medicine. Many teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL rely on shockwave treatments to help their athletes recover faster from injuries and stay in peak condition. In fact, numerous pro sports franchises (across the NFL, NBA, and NHL) provide shockwave therapy to their players using advanced Storz Medical machinesshockwavecanada.com. This is the same caliber of technology and treatment available to you at our clinic. Whether you’re an athlete with a stubborn injury or an active individual looking to get back to the activities you love, our focused and radial shockwave therapy can help you heal more quickly and effectively.
Complementing our shockwave program, we offer LightForce® High Intensity Laser Therapy by Chattanooga® / Enovis™ – the same Class IV laser platform used in elite sports medicine, orthopedic, and rehabilitation clinics around the world. Chattanooga is the world’s largest manufacturer of rehabilitation equipment, and following the acquisition of LiteCure in 2021, became the world’s largest manufacturer of high power laser therapy devices, with an estimated over one million LightForce treatments performed per month globally.
LightForce delivers photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) – a clinically validated process in which therapeutic light energy stimulates the mitochondria of damaged cells, restoring cellular energy balance and triggering the body’s own repair mechanisms. Our system uses a clinically proven dual-wavelength approach:
Unlike older “cold laser” or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) devices – which are typically limited to less than 0.5 watts – LightForce is a true Class IV high intensity laser delivering up to 40 watts of continuous power. This means deeper tissue penetration, larger treatment areas, and meaningful therapeutic doses delivered in just 4–7 minutes per session instead of the prolonged sittings required by low-power lasers.
How LightForce Therapy Benefits Patients:
On-contact treatment with the patented massage head allows our clinicians to compress superficial tissue while delivering laser energy. This “blanching” effect displaces blood chromophores, reduces reflection at the skin surface, and increases therapeutic energy delivered to the target tissue by approximately 15% compared to off-contact application.
Conditions LightForce Laser Therapy can address at our clinic:
Safety and clinician quality control: LightForce is the only Class IV laser classified as Class IIa under EU medical device classification – the safest classification available for high-power therapy lasers. The system’s Smart Handpiece© provides real-time visual and haptic feedback so our clinicians can maintain the correct treatment speed, ensuring consistent dosing and minimizing any risk of skin overheating. Treatment protocols are also customized to each patient based on chronicity (acute vs. chronic condition), body mass, height, and skin tone, so every dose is tailored rather than generic.
Contraindications: Laser therapy is not appropriate for everyone. We do not perform LightForce treatment over growth plates in children, over the abdomen or low back/pelvic area in pregnant patients, around glandular tissue (thyroid, testes, ovaries), over pacemakers or internal pain pumps, or on patients taking photosensitive medications. Your acupuncture physician will review your full history before recommending laser therapy as part of your care plan.
How laser therapy fits with our other services: High intensity laser therapy pairs especially well with shockwave therapy, acupuncture, and our manual modalities, because all of these treatments are designed to promote tissue repair and address pain through different complementary mechanisms. We generally avoid combining laser therapy with cryotherapy on the same area on the same day, as cold therapy reduces blood flow and can blunt the circulatory benefits of PBM.
We take pride in tackling a broad spectrum of pain conditions and injuries. Our combination of acupuncture, shockwave (EPAT), LightForce high intensity laser therapy, and other therapies allows us to address both acute injuries and chronic, hard-to-treat conditions. Here are some of the many issues we can help with:
