Acupuncture is a treatment that involves the painless insertion of very fine needles into specific areas on the body. Our acupuncturists develop a treatment plan based on your needs using the foundation of Eastern and Western medical principles. Chinese herbal medicine is performed by a qualified, licensed practitioner.
Our practitioners have Masters Degrees in Oriental Medicine with over 900 hours in didactic and clinical coursework in Chinese Herbal Pharmacology. Cupping therapy is most often used for certain types of pain, as well as treatment of colds, flu, and asthma. About 25% of patients will be left with circular red marks that can last up to several days and are generally painless.

At Metro Acupuncture, we believe our patients should not have to choose between "conventional" and "alternative" medical treatments. Our healthcare philosophy is rooted in a holistic approach, specifically designed to meet the needs of the whole individual, and achieved through the integration of all available modalities.
The diagnosis of cancer affects patients on multiple levels, sending shock waves through the lives of the person diagnosed as well as their families. Vital health care decisions may need to be made rapidly, and complex, confusing information from multiple sources can make this situation more difficult.
With the improvement of digestion comes the improvement of the whole body and mind. At Metro Acupuncture, we believe that poor digestion can be alleviated with acupuncture, herbal medicine and positive life style changes. The Japanese refer to the area where digestion occurs as the hara, or the center of being.
Experiencing an occasional headache can be part of life. Daily headaches or migraines interfere with our ability to function at our best. For some patients with chronic headaches, medications are the answer; however, no medicine is without side effects. If medications are not working as well as they used to, acupuncture is often an effective treatment.

Really appreciate Dr. Bowman. Not only does she have an incredible wealth of knowledge about both Eastern and Western Medicine but she really takes the time to not only get to know you but also your condition to help you in the best way possible. I've been seeing her for over 2 years now and know this has helped me tremendously.

Mark at Metro Acupuncture was amazing. I came in with a very injured back after a weightlifting incident and he SERIOUSLY helped me. It took a couple days to feel the cupping and acupuncture work but it made a tremendous difference. In a week i was almost back to normal, without Mark it probably would have been a month or more. Thank you for healing me!

This was my first time experiencing acupuncture therapy and wow what can I say.... I have experienced a real difference in my overall health. I started my treatment with Mark 7 months ago and within 3 months I felt I was much less stressed, calmer and more centered. I was feeling so much better. Mark is very experienced and skilled at what he does. I almost never experienced any pain from the treatment needles and I think that says a lot about how skilled Mark is. Their staff is very professional too. I have been recommending Metro acupuncture to my family, coworkers and friends already so I think

This was my first time in going to an acupuncturist and Mark has been a great help in healing my tennis elbow and shoulder. He is very effective at providing education on his healing techniques and getting feedback on their effectiveness. He has also been flexible in trying something different if a technique is not effective. One example is with him suggesting using a foam roller and sending me videos on how to use it effectively. Overall, my experience was very positive and I would suggest trying Metro Acupuncture if you have pain and/or an injury that won't go away.

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I did not know what to expect. A friend recommended Dr. Laura Bowman of Metro Acupuncture. Dr. Bowman and I discussed my objectives until she had a clear understanding of my needs and I had a clear understanding of what the procedure would entail. I particularly appreciated how she described the process step by step.
I was delighted with the results of the procedure and plan to make additional visits to Dr. Bowman. I most highly recommend Dr. Laura Bowman of Metro Acupuncture.

As a young adult, I have received acupuncture for many years for various medical issues. Metro Acupuncture is by far the most attentive and caring acupuncture clinic in all of Atlanta. Receiving care from Dr. Laura Bowman has been by far the most positive medical experience I have had in my life thus far. There is no doubt in my mind that Metro Acupuncture is the place to go if you want to experience the best!

Dr. Kelly is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. She passionately pursues all alleys of interest to her to their full extent and learns from every experience she has, seizing all opportunities to further her education through conferences and personal encounters. She is not only a fantastic Anesthesiologist, but someone remarkably talented in the field of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She goes above and beyond for her patients as well as her family and friends. I highly recommend this practice to anyone.
