Acupuncture is a natural medical treatment that mobilizes your body's healing and immune response. Acupuncture was developed thousands of years ago to be a preventative system of medicine. While best known for pain, acupuncture can treat a wide range of conditions, including infertility, sleep issues and digestive disorders.
Chinese herbs are natural whole foods, mostly consisting of the aerial and root parts of plants. This includes root, tubers, seeds, leaves, and stems. The herbs are taken in their whole form, not isolated into single chemicals. Extensive study has been conducted on the physiological properties of herbs.

I never did acupuncture before so I didn't know what to expect. I was having back problems and wanted to find something that could help relieve the pain and get me back to feeling good. When my PT recommended Five Point Acupuncture, I instantly booked my first consultation with Mark. He is so informative and professional. I'm happy to say my back pain is gone and I've just continued to go since I find it so relaxing and overall helpful to my health. I'd 100% recommend Mark at Five Points Acupuncture & Wellness.

Due to the pandemic and my field or work (health care), I developed PTSD and everything else that comes with it such as insomnia, panic attacks, agoraphobia, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc.
I was on 5 medications at one point. With acupuncture and other interventions such as walking , talking, and gardening I am now on 3 medications only. I am looking forward to taper off another medication in the near future. I believe adding acupuncture to my treatment plan has made a significant difference.
Mark is very kind and has excellent bed manners. The first time I came in I was shaking of fear. He’s

Let me start by saying Mark is very friendly and professional! I have been seeing Mark for neck pain and balance issues due to an inner ear problem. I have been suffering with this for the last two years. I began seeing Mark 2 months ago after being referred to him by a family member.
I have seen a great improvement in my balance as well as the neck pain! Before seeing Mark I felt discouraged that nothing was going to help me. I was wrong!
Thank you Mark for helping me!

Mark is a miracle worker. I’ve been seeing him for back, hip and leg pain that has been an ongoing issue for over seven months now with no relief. I tried everything, medication, physical therapy, and daily exercises. I could not sleep or sit long due to the pain. I started acupuncture at Five Points Acupuncture & Wellness with Mark only a short time ago and my pain is almost nonexistent now. Before going to acupuncture I was struggling with chronic pain and losing sleep. I thought that I would never be able to sleep more than a few hours again. I am so glad that I started seeing Mark. I highly

I'm so glad I found Mark and his practice. This past winter I suffered a soft tissue injury in my heel. I walked with a cane for three months in the spring and the medical help I received from my health insurance was not helping. Six months into my recovery I still was having trouble walking. Luckily my partner recommended acupuncture. I was definitely skeptical, but after my first session I knew it was a good decision.
Mark's office is incredibly clean. It's quiet, there are noise machines and soothing music, and only one person is allowed in at any time. Mark takes extra precautions to keep

I can't thank Mark enough for putting together an acupuncture plan for me for fertility. I had an early miscarriage in May of 2018 and was having a hard time getting pregnant after that due to irregular cycles / ovulation. Mark immediately made me feel like I had come to the right place. He listened, asked questions and genuinely cared. I saw him twice a week to start and immediately my cycles were 30 days on the dot. On my third cycle with Mark I got a positive pregnancy test! Going to acupuncture each week make me feel like I was being proactive and I definitely saw a change my emotions

I have suffered from intense, painful menstrual cycles for most of my life. Only recently have I discovered that the intense hormonal mood rollercoaster I experience beforehand was called PMDD which, when brought up to gynecologist, seemed there was only hormone pills in order to control. I did not want to play russian roulette with my hormones. I was told acupuncture could help, and I found Mark at Five Points Acupuncture because of the good reviews stating that he is good at helping women's hormonal/reproductive issues.
I have been seeing Mark once a week since the beginning of January

After many years of suffering with digestive issues, I found permanent relief via the acupuncture treatment Mark provides. Through treatment sessions and Chinese herbs, I am regular and do not suffer from gas and bloating. I also have more energy.
In addition to helping me with my digestive issues, Mark's treatment has also focused on making my periods regular and minimizing the PMS symptoms. Now I hardly have PMS at all. Recently, Mark began treating me again because I was suffering from stress and anxiety which made it difficult for me to sleep and relax. Through acupuncture and a Chinese

Mark is magical!!!!! Prior to using Mark, my husband and I had being trying to have baby for a long time and was not successful. We finally decided to go with the fertility treatment (twice) and was still unsuccessful. We saw in the internet that acuputure would help. Therefore, before we start our 3rd fertility treatment, we seek help from Mark. Using his treatment program (before, during and after ivf) we finally got a positive result in our 3rd if cycle. I am now in my 17th weeks.....baby and I are both doing great!!! Mark is professional, patient, and definitely knows acupuncture. I

I've been a patient of Mark's since 2008. He is a deeply caring practitioner who takes a gentle approach to any condition. Through treatments and Chinese herbs, Mark helped me reduce stress, address digestive issues, smooth out emotional highs and lows and took away headaches, cramps, bloating, etc. associated with my period. He helped me reach a new state of health I never knew existed! Mark also has a great sense of humor, which makes his office a really open and inviting healing environment. I highly recommend Mark, especially to anyone considering trying acupuncture for the first
