Frequent Question //
How Many Treatments Will It Take?
Usually, a series of treatments are necessary to resolve a condition. Each case and condition is treated individually. A consultation is required to determine requirements. Treatments can be between 45 to 90 minutes in length with the first consultation usually lasting longer. Most conditions can be treated successfully within 3 to 8 visits.
Does Acupuncture Treatment Hurt?
Most patients have stated that there is little or no pain as very fine, sterile, disposable needles are used. Our sterile needles are single use and disposed of through medical waste services.
How long does a treatment last?
An initial visit for a new patient lasts approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. For follow up visit and established patient visits last approximately 30 to 45 minutes in length.
What kind of Physician is Mark Brinson? Is he a MD?
He is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, not a medical doctor. While the educational programs are very similar in many ways, only 200 hours of pharmacology are completed in Chinese Medical Programs and 1000 hours of Chinese Herbs and Formulas are added. His post-graduate program was 3000 hours and 4 years.

Patient Resources //
Acupuncture
For hundreds of years before the X-rays, MRIs, CAT Scans, blood labs or any other modern medical test, physicians accurately diagnosed and treated the entire range of conditions using only their hands, minds and simple tools from nature. The time they spent evaluating their patients enabled them to treat with often remarkable results. We continue that superior tradition of time-intensive treatment and evaluation today. We use techniques from both eastern and western medical traditions to treat you, the person as well as your condition fully. We do on occasion order modern testing or refer your condition to other professionals. Our main goal for you is results!
Traditional Chinese Medicine
The techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, Medical Manipulations (TuiNa) and Gua Sha have been refined over thousands of years. We are now finding the scientific explanations for these modalities but what really matters is the consistent results that are experienced in internal medicine as well as pain relief. Treatments are gentle, safe and effective.
Herbal Prescriptions
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses specific combinations of herbs to create powerful formulas. Individualized prescriptions match your signs, symptoms, emotional temperament and overall composition of your body. We treat you, the individual not just the illness. The right diagnosis plus the right formula always yields results! We may prescribe a few days or a few weeks.
Creativity + Hard Work
Each treatment may involve the use of multiple integrative therapies, designed specifically for you, from both Eastern and Western medical traditions. Sessions respect your comfort level while working to efficiently accomplish your therapeutic goals
A Caring Environment
We want the best care for you. This includes treatment from our highly trained, caring staff. Your condition, health and safety are our top priority. If we cannot properly treat you here, we will help you find the right person or facility using our referral network of highly skilled medical practitioners.

Massage
Saint Acupuncture & Wellness offers a variety of massage styles. The type of massage is important, but even more so is the therapist. All of our therapists are Georgia state licensed. Several different types of massage therapies are offered at our clinic.
Medical Massage
This treatment is specifically directed to resolve restrictions that are preventing proper healing of the muscular system. The therapist works under the supervision of our Doctor of Oriental Medicine. This specialized 30 minute session involves manipulations which combines Neuromuscular (trigger point) techniques and Myofascial Release. This intensely focused treatment is only on areas related to dysfunction.
Therapeutic Fusion
This relaxing massage is customized for the individual and uses a mixture of several modalities. The use of medium to deep pressure is guaranteed to unwind and release the stresses of the day.
Deep Tissue
This therapy is perfect for stiff necks, low back tightness and sore shoulders as well as any area that is chronically tense. The focus of this type of massage is to realign the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is a very well-known therapy and relaxation is the main goal. Through this massage, blood returns to the heart by using long gliding strokes and Oxygen levels are also increased which improves circulation. Some of the benefits are flexibility and increased range of motion, reduction of toxins, and well-being for the whole body.
Hot Stone Therapy
Tension and muscle stiffness melt away by the placement of heated, smooth stones on the body which promotes deep muscle relaxation.
Pre-Natal Massage
The benefits of this massage are two-fold as both baby and mom receive stress reduction. It also helps relieve back and headaches, leg cramps and swelling, and promotes better sleep. The prerequisites for this massage are as follows: You must be past the 1st trimester and have consulted with your doctor.
Reflexology
Pressure is applied to the feet and hands using specific techniques based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body. This treatment interacts with the nervous system to improve circulation, relaxation and the benefits of touch.
