Meet Rosa

Rosa Panos, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM), Diplomate of Oriental Medicine (Dipl. O.M.), Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM), Physical Therapist (P.T.)

At RP Acupuncture Integrative Wellness in Palm Coast, our approach to healthcare utilizes the best of Traditional Chinese Medicine, (TCM), Alternative Medicine and Western Medicine.

Each treatment modality within TCM addresses both the root of your health concern as well as the symptoms. If you seek an alternative to traditional medicine, or want to complement your current treatment plan, we will guide you on your journey to optimal wellness with a results driven approach.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is supported by scientific research, more than 3,500 years of observation by Chinese Medicine Masters, and patient outcomes. TCM includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping therapy, gua sha, massage, qigong and diet therapy. At RP Acupuncture Integrative Wellness, every modality of TCM is available to our patients.

Acupuncture, as part of TCM, is an effective treatment for many complex conditions. Because the focus is to view the body holistically and restore balance, a wide variety of conditions are successfully treated. Acupuncture utilizes fine sterile needles that are inserted to acupuncture points or painful areas to unblock “Qi” and restore energy flow. It balances the 12 acupuncture meridians, and heals the body to prevent diseases or to resolve existing Diseases. It strengthens the immune system and eliminates pathogens. Acupuncture treats the problem, not the symptom. Accurate diagnosis and acupuncture intervention heals, restores, and balances the body.

Our Chinese Herbal Pharmacy includes core formulas that can be combined to individualize prescriptions for each patient, for preventative medicine and fortifying the constitution.

Cupping Therapy provides localized treatment to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Gua sha is a scraping technique used by Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. It is a tool-assisted manual therapy technique used to reduce scar tissue (PT commonly call Graston or IASTM), it releases stagnation that causes restriction or pain in the body. Used for chronic, acute or post surgical pain and restrictions.

Medical Qigong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine, and one of the four main branches of TCM.

If you are struggling with chronic physical or emotional health issues, we invite you to explore the benefits of working together to find the root cause and help your body restore balance.
