What We Do:

Personalized Life-Style Medicine - everyone gets a personalized treatment for their conditions. Acupuncture treatments are created-designed according to the diagnosis. For example: two patients with migraines may receive different treatments and herbs because the root cause may be different.

Holistic Health Care - we treat the whole person including their symptoms. We offer a complete Holistic health care system that is effective and natural.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) includes - Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Nutritional Guidance/Therapy, Lifestyle Coaching, Meditation, and Qi Gung. All these therapies bring the body into balance to heal itself.

Acupuncture awakens your healing energy to heal your body, mind, and spirit. When using the herbs in conjunction with Acupuncture, the effectiveness of both increases.

Thrive Acupuncture & Wellness offers acupuncture, massage, Meridian Stress Assessment, and chinese medicine based holistic healing to the Powell, Ohio and Greater Columbus, Ohio communities since 2015. We are passionate about helping our patients achieve optimal health and wellness. Specialties include women's health, fertility, migraines/headaches, anxiety, depression, mental health, pediatrics, and pain management.
