What to Know

Acupuncture is a time-tested practice that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. It works by inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points along energetic pathways called meridians, which help regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body.

Despite using multiple needles, treatments are typically gentle and deeply relaxing. Sessions usually last 30–45 minutes, with needles retained for 5–30 minutes.

Acupuncture can support:

  • Pain relief
  • Stress and anxiety reduction
  • Improved digestion
  • Hormonal balance
  • Better sleep and energy
  • Immune system support

Whether you’re addressing a specific concern or seeking overall wellness, acupuncture offers a powerful, holistic way to restore balance.

Is Acupuncture Effective and Safe?

Yes — acupuncture is both effective and safe, with a growing body of scientific research supporting its use for a wide range of conditions. Among all classical Chinese medicine practices, acupuncture has been the most widely studied and recognized in modern medical literature.

In 1997, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) publicly recognized acupuncture’s safety and effectiveness, a milestone that helped bring it into integrative healthcare settings. Today, many insurance providers offer coverage for acupuncture — further validating its role in modern wellness.

My wife was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer almost 2 years ago and we have seen a significant turnaround in her response to the chemotherapy and immunotherapy that she has been receiving for over a year and a half year with only slight changes but after starting with Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine, we have seen her numbers drop, many of the tumors she had when we started with them are now gone and the remaining tumor she has is down by 85%. The entire team is incredible and does whatever they can to help you in your time of need and I cannot recommend them enough.

Dr. Cardwell totally changed my life! He helped me return to a normal immune system & life after living in a house with mold. It took time/driving but it was so worth it! I can confidently say I’ve never met a doctor that has cared so much and helped with every health issue with patience and vast knowledge. He is a true gem and I am so grateful to him and Atlanta Integrative & Internal Medicine. They are all so warm and lovely for IVs, etc and make you feel like family. It’s how visiting the doctor should be!

After a bout of strep, I developed a rash and went to both my GP and derm who each prescribed me oral and topical steroids. Topical helped while using, but it would come back when I stopped and I was diagnosed with psoriasis. I went to AIIM and saw Jessica Caspar, APRN. She suggested ozone IVs and gave me ozonated olive oil. Within a few days of using the cream, my skin looks dramatically better! I am very hopeful and glad to not be relying on steroids. Highly recommend Jessica!

This has been a good experience. Dr. Patel is kind and takes time to explain things. I have learned more about my health here than at any other time in my life. The only downside is that all expense is out of pocket.

Dr. Cardwell has been treating me for the past five years. He is by far one of the best doctors I have seen. His level of compassion and the time he takes with his patients is something you very rarely see these days. I have some complicated issues and he has spent a lot of time researching what issues I am experiencing to help find a cure. I would recommend Dr. Cardwell and his staff to anyone.
