Acupuncture & acupressure
Point-based techniques may be considered as part of a personalized plan for pain and tension.
PAIN RELIEF · FORT MYERS & SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
A thoughtful approach to pain relief.
Pain is personal. Ellen takes time to understand what you’re experiencing, what matters to you, and which hands-on or point-based techniques may be appropriate for your care.
Care begins with listening
Care that starts with you
Your experience deserves a closer look.
Whether discomfort is new or has been part of your life for a while, a visit begins with your story, health history, and goals. Ellen can discuss possible approaches, answer questions, and help you decide on a next step that fits.
Ellen Poage, APRN, MPH, CLT-LANA, brings nearly 30 years of clinical and lymphatic-care experience, with acupuncture training through the University of Miami.
Acute or persistent discomfort
Talk through where you feel pain, how it affects daily life, and what you have already tried. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so evaluation comes first.
A personalized toolkit
Different tools. One individual plan.
Depending on your evaluation and goals, Ellen may discuss one or more complementary approaches.
Dolphin Neurostim
A handheld device used for microcurrent point stimulation (MPS) at selected acupuncture or trigger points, when appropriate.
Complementary bodywork
Depending on your needs, care may also include cupping, auriculotherapy, or other gentle hands-on techniques.
The Dolphin Neurostim
Targeted microcurrent point stimulation.
The Dolphin Neurostim delivers low-level electrical stimulation at selected points. Ellen may use it as one part of a broader pain-care session, alongside other techniques when appropriate.
It is a tool, not a cure or a substitute for diagnosing the cause of pain. The right approach depends on your symptoms, history, and medical care.
What to expect
A clear, collaborative first visit.
You’ll have time to describe what is bothering you, review relevant health history, and ask questions. Ellen will explain which options may fit and check in as care progresses.
- Start with your symptoms and goals
- Review relevant health history
- Discuss suitable options
- Adjust based on your response
Pain care is individualized. Complementary techniques may not be appropriate for everyone and do not replace medical evaluation or other treatment recommended by your clinician. Dolphin Neurostim should not be used for undiagnosed pain; Ellen will review whether it is suitable for you.
