MINOT, N.D. (KXNET) — Want to learn more about acupuncture? Dr. Shelby Sortino of Ascend Wellness explains the many benefits of acupuncture for people all over the world.
“In Western medicine, acupuncture basically involves making very small incisions with needles to increase blood flow to the area and promote healing, but in Eastern medicine, acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, and its effectiveness can be a little harder to quantify,” explains Shelby Sortino, PhD, chiropractor and acupuncturist at Ascend Wellness.
She sees patients of all ages and treats many different types of conditions.
“It can help with anything from pain-related symptoms, headaches, digestive issues, women’s health, menstruation, infertility, pregnancy and childbirth,” Dr. Sortino said.
She says you’ll be able to sit with the needles in place for around 20-30 minutes in a calm, relaxing environment.
Many customers are amazed at how easy it is, even those who are afraid of needles.
“Essentially, it’s about the size of a hair, so it’s really tiny, and people are surprised at how calming it can actually be,” Dr. Sortino explained.
