Acupuncture is a treatment that involves the painless insertion of very fine needles into specific areas on the body. Our acupuncturists develop a treatment plan based on your needs using the foundation of Eastern and Western medical principles. Chinese herbal medicine is performed by a qualified, licensed practitioner. Our practitioners have Masters Degrees in Oriental Medicine with over 900 hours in didactic and clinical coursework in Chinese Herbal Pharmacology. Cupping therapy is most often used for certain types of pain, as well as treatment of colds, flu, and asthma.

At Metro Acupuncture, we believe our patients should not have to choose between "conventional" and "alternative" medical treatments. Our healthcare philosophy is rooted in a holistic approach, specifically designed to meet the needs of the whole individual, and achieved through the integration of all available modalities.
The diagnosis of cancer affects patients on multiple levels, sending shock waves through the lives of the person diagnosed as well as their families. Vital health care decisions may need to be made rapidly, and complex, confusing information from multiple sources can make this situation more difficult.
With the improvement of digestion comes the improvement of the whole body and mind. At Metro Acupuncture, we believe that poor digestion can be alleviated with acupuncture, herbal medicine and positive life style changes. The Japanese refer to the area where digestion occurs as the hara, or the center of being.

I honestly don't know where I would be mentally or physically right now without this clinic! For the last two years it's helped so much with Covid long haul symptoms, with tapering off seriously physically-dependent prescriptions, every day stress and anxiety, even when I've hurt my back. I've seen Dr Laura, Mark, and Andrea and I love them all. I've also been to lots of other acupuncturists out there to shop around and a lot of other places I've been to I've not found any relief after.
That is not the case here; particularly Dr Laura's background in her learning and who she learned from, she seems to have a lot of very specific acupuncture points that work especially well with me, my mind and body react almost instantaneously. Will never stop going here as long as I live in Atlanta! Thank you! Jennifer

I have been going to Metro Acupuncture for several years. I was not familiar with acupunture before, but since going here, I've had great results. Now, I am a believer of acupunture! They are friendly professionals. I personally see Dr. Mark. I trust his work as much as I trust my physician. As long as I live in Atlanta, I will continue to use their services. I don't think I'd find anyone better anywhere. Thank you, Metro Acupuncture.

Really appreciate Dr. Bowman. Not only does she have an incredible wealth of knowledge about both Eastern and Western Medicine but she really takes the time to not only get to know you but also your condition to help you in the best way possible. I've been seeing her for over 2 years now and know this has helped me tremendously.

Mark Lewinter has helped me recover from Bells Palsy following intense stress and illness in late January of this year. Acupuncture has been incredibly helpful in the healing process of my facial nerve, and Mark recommended cupping to help relieve my chronic tension. Although both techniques have produced amazing results for me, it is Mark's overall focus on my well being, inside and out, that makes the difference. Mark's knowledge of Chinese medicine and healing is incredible, and I truly appreciate his professional and caring approach. Thank you Mark, for your continued expertise and genuine love of what you do.

Mark Lewinter is a wonderful and warmhearted acupuncturist. The office atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Mark's acupuncture techniques are gentle and very effective. I highly recommend Mark for any of your health concerns. I have now been seeing him for a few months and my pain and inflammation have decreased. Thanks so much Mark! Looking forward to seeing you soon! #acupuncture

Mark at Metro Acupuncture was amazing. I came in with a very injured back after a weightlifting incident and he SERIOUSLY helped me. It took a couple days to feel the cupping and acupuncture work but it made a tremendous difference. In a week i was almost back to normal, without Mark it probably would have been a month or more. Thank you for healing me!

I have suffered from severe migraine headaches for over 20 years. I've seen countless doctors and been on every medication available at one time or another, with little or no relief. The frequency and intensity of these headaches peaked last year and I was getting at least one a week. They would last 24 to 48 hours and I would have to be in bed, in a dark room the entire time.
I started seeing Mark at Metro Acupuncture and, almost immediately, the frequency, intensity and duration of my migraines decreased. I've been seeing him for a year, and I can honestly say that he has changed my life!

This was my first time experiencing acupuncture therapy and wow what can I say. I have experienced a real difference in my overall health. I started my treatment with Mark 7 months ago and within 3 months I felt I was much less stressed, calmer and more centered. I was feeling so much better. Mark is very experienced and skilled at what he does. I almost never experienced any pain from the treatment needles and I think that says a lot about how skilled Mark is. Their staff is very professional too. I have been recommending Metro acupuncture to my family, coworkers and friends already so I think an official review was due!

This was my first time in going to an acupuncturist and Mark has been a great help in healing my tennis elbow and shoulder. He is very effective at providing education on his healing techniques and getting feedback on their effectiveness. He has also been flexible in trying something different if a technique is not effective. One example is with him suggesting using a foam roller and sending me videos on how to use it effectively. Overall, my experience was very positive and I would suggest trying Metro Acupuncture if you have pain and/or an injury that won't go away.

Metro Acupuncture is the very best! I began seeing Mark for infertility about a year and a half ago. I had recently lost my husband so I was going through the pain of a death while simultaneously dealing with the ups and downs of the IVF process. The results of my care from Mark and his staff have been immeasurable! While my primary goal was to increase fertility, I was able to reduce my stress level, lower my anxiety, improve my sleep habits, and improve my overall quality of life.
His staff, Farrah and Samantha, are so very professional and helpful in the scheduling process. I would recommend Metro Acupuncture to ANYONE and EVERYONE in search of an exceptional Acupuncture team.

Dr. Kelly at Metro Acupuncture is a wonderful doctor and acupuncturist. She truly cares about her patients and takes time to listen and plan the best course of treatment. I have a bladder disease (IC) and I searched the ICA website for any source of help I could find. I saw a presentation online with Dr. Kelly talking about IC. I was ready to travel to whatever state she was practicing in!
I was thrilled when I discovered she was 20 minutes from my house! She has helped me get my life back! She is always searching for new things to help me! Her office staff is also wonderful! They are always so friendly and make you feel so comfortable. I would give them 10 stars if it was an option!

It took me way too long to think of trying accupuncture for my migraines. I had been on daily drugs, botox, etc. but once I was pregnant I couldn't take any of the those and the pain was horrible. Mark has been treating me for about 4+ months now and I have been migraine-free as long as I stay on top of my appointments. I didn't think it would be possible but it has been - so wonderful. And great office staff. Highly recommend.

As a young adult, I have received acupuncture for many years for various medical issues. Metro Acupuncture is by far the most attentive and caring acupuncture clinic in all of Atlanta. Receiving care from Dr. Laura Bowman has been by far the most positive medical experience I have had in my life thus far. There is no doubt in my mind that Metro Acupuncture is the place to go if you want to experience the best!

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I did not know what to expect. A friend recommended Dr. Laura Bowman of Metro Acupuncture. Dr. Bowman and I discussed my objectives until she had a clear understanding of my needs and I had a clear understanding of what the procedure would entail. I particularly appreciated how she described the process step by step. I was delighted with the results of the procedure and plan to make additional visits to Dr. Bowman. I most highly recommend Dr. Laura Bowman of Metro Acupuncture.

Dr. Kelly is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. She passionately pursues all alleys of interest to her to their full extent and learns from every experience she has, seizing all opportunities to further her education through conferences and personal encounters. She is not only a fantastic Anesthesiologist, but someone remarkably talented in the field of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She goes above and beyond for her patients as well as her family and friends. I highly recommend this practice to anyone.

Early last year after a severe head cold, I started having chronic neck and upper back pain along with constant headaches. I was not able to sleep at nights and concentrate during day because of constant pain and headaches. Over the last fourteen months, I saw many doctors without getting any results. I am so glad I listened to a co-worker and tried acupuncture at Metro Acupuncture. Dr. Kelly and Mark are both very knowledgeable and want to help you.
They are not after money. They genuinely want to help their patients to get better. My pain level has been reduced substantially after 5 treatments! I feel like a normal person again! I would highly recommend both Dr. Kelly and Mark.

Excellent acupuncture service and good recommendatons on herbs. They practice traditional chinese medicine techniques, and customize treatment based on the issue you would like to solve. They are sensitive to patient needs, and leave you with a beeper in case you need anything while you are on the table. They are concerned with solving your problem, and reducing your acupunture visits. Its the best acupuncture clinic that I have been to in ATL (I have tried 5).
