Pain Management
Our acupuncture treatments effectively address chronic and acute pain conditions by restoring natural energy flow and reducing inflammation. Patients experience significant improvements in mobility and comfort levels through targeted needle placement and personalized treatment plans. This holistic approach treats underlying causes rather than masking symptoms, providing lasting relief for back pain, joint issues, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Depression & Anxiety Treatment
Specialized acupuncture protocols help regulate mood and emotional balance by targeting specific meridians associated with mental well-being. Combined with lifestyle counseling, our treatments reduce stress hormones and promote natural endorphin production. Patients report improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety episodes, and enhanced emotional resilience through our comprehensive approach to mental health care.
Infertility Support
Our fertility-focused acupuncture treatments enhance reproductive system function and hormonal balance through strategic point stimulation. This complementary therapy improves IVF success rates and addresses menstrual irregularities while reducing stress associated with fertility challenges. Personalized treatment plans integrate dietary recommendations to optimize overall reproductive health.
Digestive Disorders
Targeted acupuncture sessions address digestive imbalances by regulating gut motility and reducing inflammation. Patients experience relief from IBS symptoms, chronic constipation, and acid reflux through customized treatment protocols. Dietary therapy components help maintain digestive wellness and prevent recurring issues after completing treatment programs.
Insomnia Treatment
Our specialized insomnia treatments promote natural sleep patterns by regulating the body's circadian rhythms and reducing stress response. Patients achieve deeper, more restorative sleep through acupuncture sessions that address underlying causes like anxiety and hormonal imbalances. Treatment plans include lifestyle modifications for sustained sleep quality improvements.

I really enjoy my sessions with Dr. Betsis. She really listens to what the problem is. She has solved the problem that I had with menopause. I have little to no hot flashes. I suffer from Extrinsic Asthma which she has put me in a better place with my asthma. I had a upper back problem which is resolved. Her technique is unbelievable and I am much better because of it. I am grateful to have met her. She is truly an expert.

I look forward to my weekly sessions at the Baltimore Wellness Acupuncture Center. I am always pleased with the tranquil office setting and staff who truly cares about your wellbeing. I was dealing with stress, shoulder, back and leg pain. I noticed positive results after my first visit. I am 51 years old...I wish I started my holistic wellness journey years ago.

I've been seeing different acupuncturists for the past 11 years since I've been diagnosed with a serious illness. The acupuncture was always very helpful, but only when I started seeing Alina around 2 years ago, I realized how truly powerful, effective and diverse this tool is. I am convinced that the quality of acupuncturist is making all the difference. Alina is very talented, intuitive and passionate acupuncturist. She really cares about her patients: she is compassionate, supportive and joy to be around.
Alina was able to help me with such a myriad of health issues, it's mind boggling: from

Through working with Alina I was able to get off of three medications I was taking for anxiety. My IBS also resolved. I am forever grateful for Alina!

My first visit to the Baltimore Wellness Acupuncture was about six years ago. I had an ACL reconstruction surgery on my right knee. The surgery went well, but swelling did not go away. I could not bend my knee without feeling pain. Anti-inflammatory pills didn't help. Friend of mine suggested to do the acupuncture treatment at the Baltimore Wellness Acupuncture. At first, I was very skeptical and didn't believe that treatment would help to get rid of the swelling, but decided to give it a try. My acupuncturist Alina Betsis did her magic and after the first visit I was able to bend my knee without

I have been going to Acupuncture sessions with Alina Betsis for a couple of years now and will continue going in years to come. She addressed and helped me treat an ongoing issue that could not be solved with medications. Unlike medications, she does not just mask the problem, but rather finds it's root and treats it. Now, I continue going to Alina to maintain an overall and a healthy lifestyle.

Alina is amazing! She is knowledgable and thorough in her diagnosis and weekly (or bi-weekly) check-ins. She creates a professional, relaxing environment for her clients. Before meeting Alina, I suffered from aura migraines once a month for 5 days for the past 5 years. Because of Alina's expertise, I have not had a migraine, tension headache, or sinus headache in 4 months. I highly recommend her to anyone suffering with chronic pain.
