Female Acupuncturists near Pittsburgh, PA

At Life Balance Acupuncture, I take a holistic approach to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms (but we treat them immediately and effectively too for fast relief!). Acupuncture treatment helps the body to correct imbalances that occur from injury, stress, trauma, poor diet, and disease so it can heal itself naturally. Therefore, I am able to treat a wide variety of conditions, both physical and mental/emotional regardless of their origin. Many patients report feeling better within themselves, are motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes, and want to take back control of their health and well-being.

All great Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners in history are expertise in using acupuncture and medicinal herbs together for greater effectiveness. While acupuncture has gained popularity in America, many people do not know each component has its own strength. Some conditions cannot be treated effectively without the use of herbs. When herbal treatment is used alone, it's also more affordable. With the commitment to provide effective, comprehensive and affordable treatment, I spent years in the study of medicinal herbs in addition to acupuncture. I am licensed in both acupuncture and herbology.

Amy Green is a highly skilled neurofunctional, sports and orthopedic acupuncturist with 24 years of clinical experience. She has served as a mentor for both acupuncturists and massage therapists/bodyworkers. Amy works with patients suffering from acute or chronic pain, injuries, migraines and those who need pre and post-surgical support. She enjoys helping those who have fallen through the cracks of the health care system and need support finding both hope and relief.

In every patient, I see an opportunity to make a difference in that person's life. Many people come to acupuncture after trying every other option. In acupuncture, there are so many ways to solve a person's illness. As a practitioner, it is incredibly rewarding to take a patient out of pain, ease their anxiety, help them sleep or engage in activities that they thought might never be possible again.

I am a board-certified acupuncturist that specializes in treating pain that has not responded to other types of treatment. I work with a wide variety of adult and adolescent patients to reduce or eliminate pain while addressing other health issues, such as the anxiety and depression that often follows an injury. I also specialize in neuro-acupuncture for acute and chronic central and peripheral nervous system disorders. I treat a broad spectrum of health concerns, but special areas of interest for me are post-concussion syndrome, migraine, fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, shingles pain and Bell's Palsy.
