Acupuncture

Lisa Eaves is a board certified, licensed acupuncturist in the District of Columbia and in the state of Virginia. A graduate of the Maryland Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Bethesda, Lisa is a founding member and President of the Acupuncture Society of the District of Columbia.

Lisa has treated many conditions for which acupuncture has proven effective. Of particular interest and an area of expertise, is the treatment of patients to enhance fertility. Lisa has collaborated with fertility specialists in the area, but has brought her expertise to the office of Reproductive Endocrinologist and Fertility Specialist, Dr. Fady Sharara, in Reston, Virginia, combining the modern medicines of the west with the traditional practices of the east.

The name of her practice in the District of Columbia, “Heal From Within,” reflects her belief in the system of Chinese Medicine, that we have, for the most part, everything we need to be healthy and to heal ourselves. Stress, physical or emotional, weakens and constricts the flow of energy in our bodies. We’re exposed to environmental toxins. Some have unhealthy habits that contribute to our dis-ease (diet, work habits, activities). Through the use of acupuncture, Lisa facilitates a natural healing process, unique to each individual.

The National Institutes for Health and the World Health Organization have both found acupuncture to be effective in treating the following conditions:

• Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain Women’s Health Issues
• Sciatica Headaches, Migraines
• Acute & Chronic Pain Digestive Problems
• Stress Post-Stroke Recovery
• Fatigue, Insomnia Surgery & Injury Rehabilitation
• Anxiety, Depression Sprains & Sports Injuries
• Infertility Carpal Tunnel

Acupuncture is relaxing and nourishing. It is not painful. Needles are used only once, and then discarded. Courses of treatment vary according to the condition.
