Acupuncture Services now offered at

Lighthouse Pain Management Center

Warwick, RI, February 25, 2015 – Lighthouse Pain Management Center Acupuncture is pleased to announce that AcuTherapy, an acupuncture medicine clinic, now has a presence at the Warwick, RI location. The center plans acupuncture to start, and will implement other healing modalities in the future to meet the health care needs of our community. This new service is provided by Elizabeth D. Neil, L.Ac., Doctor of Acupuncture, at AcuTherapy. Neil graduated and earned a Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture, Newton, MA. She specializes in Battlefield Acupuncture, an Ear acupuncture therapy designed to treat addictions and assist in pain relief in a diverse array of acute and chronic pain conditions, regardless of cause, duration, or severity and the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture protocol that is an exciting alternative to plastic surgery and potentially unhealthy ‘non-invasive’ techniques, because it not only focuses on the face but on the whole body as well.

Neil believes in an integrative approach to healthcare. “I am excited to be able to offer these services locally for people in our community who are suffering and searching for options,” says Neil. Acupuncture helps relieve many types of chronic and acute disorders and has proven to be quite beneficial for patients who do not respond to traditional treatment or medication,” said Ron Tyszkowski, DC, CEO of Lighthouse Pain Management Center. “We’re pleased to offer our patients both conventional and integrative therapies to provide a personalized healing plan that is patient centered and supported by scientific research. I am totally awed by the power of acupuncture to help people feel better, be well, and make a life change. In addition to providing quality healthcare to our patients, Lighthouse strives to offer convenient support services for the treatment and management of pain. With the introduction of AcuTherapy to our clinic, patients now have the opportunity to utilize alternative medicine.”

Neil brings years of experience in the health and wellness field. She has experience treating chronic and acute conditions ranging from neck and back pain syndromes to the management of side effects from medications, stress and depression, and post stroke integrative rehabilitation. Additionally, she is continues to develop her skills through the study of Acupuncture for the Cancer Patient, Integrative Oncology Training, Oncology Skincare, and Pediatric Acupuncture.

AcuTherapy will be beneficial to patients at Lighthouse who are receiving advanced traditional medical care for conditions such as pain management or cancer, but are seeking to incorporate acupuncture and other forms of alternative medicine as a complement to their treatment. Having an acupuncture clinic on site will offer patients and their physicians convenient access to those services. Neil also provides some services under the scope of acupuncture that do not involve needles. Gua sha, also known as dermal scraping, and cupping are used to help with certain pain conditions without using needles.

Sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour in length, and treatment plans vary based on each patient’s individual pattern of symptoms. Acupuncture is provided on a check or cash basis with no referral required. Payment for services is due at the time of service. AcuTherapy licensed acupuncturists do not accept tips.

The National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization recognize the efficacy of acupuncture to aid in the treatment of 43 common illnesses that include gastrointestinal

disorders, pain management, muscle, joint and nervous system disorders, and emotional and psychological disorders.

The clinic is located in the 1st floor of 935 Jefferson Boulevard, and will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays all day. For more information, call (401) 751 - 6568 or visit their website www.AcuTherapyWorks.com.

About Acupuncture

Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world.  It involves placing very fine needles at specific locations on the body, which stimulates the internal healing mechanisms in the nervous system muscles and connective tissue. Western practitioners believe acupuncture regulates the body’s endocrine functions, releases endorphins that inhibit pain, increases circulation, enhances the body’s immune function and changes the way the brain perceives pain.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has shown it to be an effective treatment for many diseases, symptoms or conditions:

Allergic rhinitis (including hay fever) Biliary colic Dysentery, acute bacillary Dysmenorrhoea, primary Epigastralgia, acute (in peptic ulcer, acute

and chronic gastritis, and gastrospasm) Facial pain (including craniomandibular

disorders) Hypotension, primary

Induction of labor Leukopenia Malposition of fetus, correction Morning sickness Periarthritis of shoulder Postoperative pain Renal colic Sprain
