Autoimmune Conditions in Frederick

Empowering Your Body’s Natural Healing

Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to pain, fatigue, and a wide range of health challenges. These conditions can affect mobility, energy, and overall quality of life. At Acupuncture Medical Clinic of Maryland in Frederick, our licensed acupuncturist provides safe, non-invasive therapies that work with your body to reduce symptoms, improve balance, and support long-term wellness.

Conditions Treated with Acupuncture for Autoimmune Disorders

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis – Reduce joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
  • Lupus – Alleviate fatigue, support circulation, and ease discomfort.
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – Improve mobility, manage muscle spasms, and reduce pain.
  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – Support thyroid balance, energy, and overall well-being.
  • Type 1 Diabetes – Complement conventional care by reducing complications like neuropathy and circulation issues.

How Acupuncture Helps Autoimmune Conditions

Acupuncture calms the immune system, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture encourages balance and supports natural healing processes. While not a cure for autoimmune diseases, acupuncture can significantly ease symptoms, enhance energy levels, and improve quality of life.

In addition to traditional acupuncture, advanced therapies such as Electro-Acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, and O3 ReBoot Therapy® can be integrated to help reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.

Benefits of Acupuncture for Autoimmune Conditions

  • Decreased pain and inflammation
  • Improved mobility and energy
  • Reduced frequency and severity of flare-ups
  • Support for emotional well-being and stress reduction
  • A safe, drug-free complement to conventional care

Common Questions

Can acupuncture cure autoimmune conditions?

No. Acupuncture does not cure autoimmune diseases, but it helps manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and reduce flare-ups.

Is it safe to combine acupuncture with conventional treatments?

Yes. Acupuncture is safe to use alongside medications or therapies prescribed by your physician.

How soon will I notice improvement?

Many patients notice relief within a few sessions, though long-term conditions often require ongoing care for the best results.

Jessica was kind and compassionate from the start. We went over all my health issues and discussed what I wanted to fix. She explained many other helpful things to do in addition to the acupuncture. She helped me with getting the information on my insurance coverage.
At my very first appointment she explained what her plans to treat me were and asked me to let her know as we were doing the acupuncture how I was doing.
She called me the following day to see how I was and if I had any questions.
Jessica is so knowledgeable and shares the information in an easy to understand way.
Her staff is just as kind and helpful.
They care about each patient and are sincere in treating you.
I can not recommend more highly!
I am feeling a difference already and look forward to my continued visits.
