Not all acupuncturists are the same. There are a number of different styles of acupuncture, and many acupuncture schools right here in the USA. Our medical director, Dr. Laura Parks, studied her Masters degree in Acupuncture from a 5 Element Acupuncture school Maryland University of Integrative Health (formerly Tai Sophia Institute) in Laurel, Maryland, graduating in 2010. Later, Dr. Parks attained her Doctorate in Acupuncture at Five Branches University in San Jose, California, which has more of an emphasis on TCM style acupuncture.
Here at Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, Dr. Parks is a Nationally Board Certified (NCCAOM) and state of South Carolina licensed acupuncturist with over 15 years of clinical success as an acupuncturist.
Since graduating over 15 years ago, Dr. Parks has dedicated her life to helping others with their health and wellness, and helping others maximize their true potential in health and in life. Acupuncture can help the body and the mind, helping with major life transitions like divorce, grieving, relocation, weddings, empty nest, and anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma and insomnia.
For physical ailments, anything you would consider seeing your doctor for, there is an acupuncture treatment for. We highlight treating chronic pain, autoimmune issues, neurological issues and neuropathy, migraines, women’s health and infertility, but treat much more than that. So many complex, chronic health issues respond amazingly well to acupuncture and the advanced therapies that Dr. Parks applies during treatment.
