What Is Acupuncture and How Does It Work?
Acupuncture is a structured medical system that uses thin, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to reduce pain, support proper function, and restore the healthy flow of Qi. It is a core part of Chinese medicine in Atlanta and is commonly used for conditions such as back pain, headaches, migraines, joint stiffness, and stress-related concerns. Patients often choose this approach because it targets the root of the problem rather than just masking symptoms, while addressing the way pain affects the whole body. Treatments are gentle, safe, and well tolerated.
If ongoing pain or discomfort is limiting your daily life, acupuncture care in Atlanta can help you regain control and feel better. If you’re ready for a focused, effective approach, our acupuncturists offer time-tested techniques backed by years of clinical training, a clear path toward relief and long-term results.

I could not speak more highly of Mark Schwartz and this practice! If you are looking to conceive he should be a high priority on your list of appointments. As I was 38 when we started trying, I took the advice of a friend and made an appointment to see him as our first step, before even consulting a fertility Dr. He was the first person that actually acknowledged that my heavy and extremely painful periods weren’t normal and I should consult with someone. This is after years of telling multiple OBGYN’s that they are so bad I pass out from the pain. As a result, our process of getting pregnant took a little longer, as I needed surgery for a large fibroid and a moderate case of endometriosis. I saw Mark once a week throughout all of this and my recovery from the surgery was a breeze. Four months later, now at 39, I am pregnant with our first child. I can’t imagine having gone through any of that with out Mark’s services, guidance & support. He is extremely knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the way in a very practical manner. He was a source of calm throughout the craziness that fertility issues and pregnancy can bring. I continued to see Mark during most of my 1st trimester and the accupuncture helped tremendously with my insomnia and other common 1st tri symptoms. I will be back when we try for baby #2.

I have been suffering of terrible migraines for years, (at least 8 years, and the episodes were at least twice a week); every time I would go to the doctor, thy would give me a bunch of medicines, that would help with the pain, but it wouldn´t really help to prevent it, actually, with the years it got worst, adding to the migraines a terrible stomach pain because of so much pills I was taking.
I was researching about acupuncture, and I was very nervous to try it, but I am so glad I did, especially at this place. First the place is super clean, plus, all the measures taken now with covid; really nice and polite people, and the best thing, it´s been almost 3 months now that I don´t have a headache, not even a low one. Sure, I had to go to numerous sessions, but it was completely worth it; so definitely if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.
I am extremely gratefull to them, especially to Kelly!!

Simply wonderful! Here’s my story and I hope it encourages women struggling with fertility to seek Mark’s care. I was told by numerous OB GYNs that it would be extremely difficult for me to have a child of my own. My egg supply was considered incredibly low (5 follicles total) and I had an undetectable AMH. I had tried rounds of Clomid to no avail. I went through a very expensive IVF treatment at a prestigious facility in Colorado in which they were unable to retrieve any “healthy” eggs. Zero eggs. I was newly married and devastated so I decided to try acupuncture. I started going to Mark in July 2017 on a weekly basis and within six months got pregnant. I am proud to say I have a healthy little boy. I am forever grateful to Mark for his kindness, continued care and support throughout my journey.
FAQs About Acupuncture in Atlanta, GA
What does a typical acupuncture session in Atlanta involve?
Here at Buckhead Acupuncture & Herbal Center, a typical session starts with a brief check-in on your symptoms and progress. Our acupuncturists then place thin, sterile needles at specific points, and you rest comfortably for about 30–45 minutes while the treatment does its work.
Are there specific acupuncture techniques used for migraines?
Yes. For migraines, we use targeted needle placement along the head, neck, and hands, often paired with techniques that release muscle tension. Our goal is to reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraines, addressing the root cause rather than just masking the pain.
How does acupuncture in Atlanta address stress-related fatigue?
We use acupuncture to calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and restore steady daily function. When stress keeps your body in constant tension, fatigue follows. Our treatments help break that cycle, so you feel more rested, focused, and physically resilient throughout the day.
Is acupuncture effective for joint stiffness or mobility issues?
Absolutely. Joint stiffness is one of the most common concerns we treat here at Buckhead Acupuncture & Herbal Center. Our acupuncturists focus on reducing inflammation, easing surrounding muscle tension, and improving range of motion, helping you move more freely with less pain.
What age groups can safely receive acupuncture treatment?
Acupuncture is safe for nearly every age group, from children to seniors. We offer pediatric acupuncture with gentle, age-appropriate techniques, and we adapt every treatment to each patient’s needs. Our acupuncturists assess your health history first to ensure care is safe and effective.
