Maryland Holistics’ resident practitioner, Eric Windsor, adjusts acupuncture treatments to each patient’s aches, pains, and medical history. A 10-minute consultation precedes the nigh-painless insertion of sterile needles, which aim to treat pain, sports issues, women’s fertility issues, or needle deficiency. With the latter option, a follow-up treatment addresses unresolved aches or stress. Patients may see significant results in one or two sessions, but Maryland Holistics recommends four to six treatments over several weeks for chronic conditions, such as tennis elbow or baseball spleen.
