Acupuncture Clifton Park
Ashley Wells, LAc.
Licensed Acupuncturist
Ashley opened her practice in Clifton Park, NY in 2014. She has Masters degrees in Acupuncture, Oriental Medicine, and Biology and has completed a post graduate program at the White Pine Institute to further her knowledge in Chinese medicine theory.
At the office, a functional acupuncture approach is used to address the root cause of conditions. Electrical and non-electrical stimulation are used in combination with TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and the teachings of Kiiko Matsumoto. The most appropriate techniques are chosen based on the patient's presentation.
Ashley is also trained in and provides Chinese medical bodywork known as Zheng Gu Tui Na.
From Ashley:
Before becoming a practitioner of Chinese medicine, I taught biology and marveled at the intricacies and natural wisdom of the body. I had a life-changing experience with acupuncture when I was 26; after about 4 treatments, my extreme neck pain and dependence on using an inhaler for asthma were greatly improved. Acupuncture had a profound effect on my quality of life. That, my love for medicine, and belief in treating the root cause of illness inspired me to pursue this rewarding career.
The effectiveness of acupuncture and how it works within the body fascinates me; Chinese medicine facilitates healing by teaching the body to heal itself. It does this in a way that promotes balance and encourages well-being without creating harmful side effects.
This area holds a special place in my heart. I especially enjoy spending time in the Adirondacks. Ullr, my assistant and furry best friend, look forward to working with you!
