Maybe you have tried everything within standard medicine to help treat your chronic health condition, but someone suggested a proven holistic approach to you as a way to manage your condition.
At Total Health Primary Care in Selma, TX, Dr. Anthony Wright and Dr. Gloria Wright are board-certified physicians trained in acupuncture or needle therapy practices. They await your phone call for a scheduled appointment to address your concerns.
What is Needle Therapy?
Needle therapy was part of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese traditional medicine practitioners believe that your body can fall out of alignment with the energy that flows through it. When this happens, an unaligned body is more susceptible to pain and illness.
Needle therapy can help restore your energy or "Qi" and have a healing effect on your medical conditions. Acupuncturists pierce differing points in the body with sterile, steel needles that can treat aches, tingling, numbness, and heaviness. This process produces a relaxation of the body, so it's always best to have someone drive you to these appointments.
Conditions Treated with Needle Therapy
Our doctors at Total Health Primary Care in Selma, TX, use Acupuncture to treat many chronic and painful health conditions, such as:
- Sports injuries

Needle Therapy treats more than these conditions. As always, please consult with our doctor about the best course of treatment.
What is a Needle Therapy Appointment Like?
After a consultation and deciding on needle therapy, our doctor will thoroughly examine your skin for the accurate pressure points for this procedure.
The needles themselves are sterile, steel, one-time-use needles that are not hollow and are about the size of the width of a hair. You shouldn't feel much beyond a skin prick when our doctor inserts them. The needles will stay in the skin for up to twenty minutes, depending on your medical condition or severity of pain.
There are several different types of needle therapy. There is needle therapy that focuses on unblocking pulled or bunched muscles. Traditional needle therapy focuses on refocusing your Qi energy. Modern needle therapy focuses on stimulating the immune system to reduce pain.
