Appointments will be available on Tuesdays, with availability expanded on request. Ms. Senko, who holds master’s degrees in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training and Acupuncture and is a certified strength and conditioning specialist, has a 15-year background as a licensed athletic trainer in high school, college, and hospital settings.

Acupuncture appointments are open to the public. It is not necessary to be a patient at Corrective Chiropractic.
Acupuncture, a form of Chinese medicine in which very thin stainless steel needles are inserted a short distance into the skin along specific body lines, is intended to rebalance the body and restore its health. The procedure promotes good blood flow, reduces pain, improves muscle tone and digestive function, and aids relaxation. Although the precise mechanisms of action remain elusive, acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating many conditions, such as back and neck pain, headaches, osteoarthritis, chronic viral conditions, GI problems, gynecologic issues, asthma, allergies, drug addictions, and more. Successful treatment depends on many factors, but most people receive some beneficial effect after the first few treatments or gradually over a longer period.
Chinese herbal medicine, which is an alternative approach to improving the body’s performance and is frequently used in conjunction with acupuncture for almost any human ailment, has at least 2,500 years of written history. Starting as folk medicine, today it is a complex medical system that shares its theory, diagnoses, and treatment plans with other branches of Chinese medicine. Chinese herbs are used to support the internal processes of the body and as an adjunct to acupuncture to extend and accentuate healing. Because Chinese medicine treats the whole person and not the disease, herbologists like Julie Senko match each prescription exactly to the patient’s condition and needs. One of the benefits of using Chinese herbs in combination with acupuncture is the degree of effectiveness achieved along with the lack of side effects.
