With roots in Chinese medicine dating back more than 3,000 years, acupuncture has stood the test of time. Today, its proven effectiveness has led to widespread recognition and integration into holistic and integrative healthcare systems around the world.

Dr. Podrecca completed advanced studies in China, where she earned her Doctor of Oriental Medicine (O.M.D.), with specialized training in women’s health and sports-related injuries. Her practice later expanded through personal experience: after contracting Lyme disease and successfully navigating her own recovery, she developed a deep clinical focus on treating Lyme disease and complex chronic conditions. This combination of extensive medical training, long-standing clinical practice, and lived experience allows Dr. Podrecca to offer compassionate, informed, and highly individualized care.
About Acupuncture:
Modern science has increasingly recognized that the human body functions as a complex bioelectrical system. Energy circulates throughout the body along well-defined pathways, often referred to as meridians. Specific points on the skin along these pathways are energetically connected to particular organs, tissues, and physiological systems.
When the flow of energy becomes disrupted, optimal function is compromised, which may result in pain, dysfunction, or illness. Acupuncture works by gently stimulating these points to restore balance and improve the circulation of energy throughout the body. By influencing the body’s bioenergetic systems and clearing blockages within energetic pathways, acupuncture supports the body’s natural ability to heal, regulate itself, and return to a state of balance and well-being.

For over 25 years, Dr. Podrecca has studied Chi Gong under the guidance of Master Quan, a traditional practice used in China for centuries to promote longevity, balance, and overall wellness. During her studies in China, Dr. Podrecca witnessed Chi Gong being integrated into care within cancer hospitals as part of supportive healing practices.
As part of her daily clinical approach, Dr. Podrecca teaches customized Chi Gong exercises to her patients to support healing related to their specific health concerns. This practice is particularly beneficial for arthritis, rejuvenation, and mobility challenges, helping patients improve movement, circulation, and overall quality of life.
