Why Use Acupuncture?
In the hands of a well trained practitioner like Chesapeake AIM founder Dr. Jinell Smithmyer, Acupuncture has many broader applications beyond pain.
For example, Acupuncture has been shown to improve digestion and sleep disorders, quell anxiety and depression, balance reproductive and hormone function, and regulate biomarkers related to autoimmune diseases – even if the problem has been chronic.
Initial Consultation Required
An initial consultation with Dr. Smithmyer is required to find out if you are a candidate for Acupuncture. If you are determined to be a candidate, we can perform your first procedure the same day.

Common Questions About Acupuncture
Am I A Candidate For Acupuncture ?
The medical literature shows acupuncture’s effect on nearly every biophysical system in the body. We’ve seen patients suffering from a wide variety of problems respond to acupuncture treatment when nothing else has worked. So, for most people, yes, acupuncture is something you should explore.
How Many Acupuncture Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed differs from person to person. For complex or long-standing conditions, three or four treatments a week for several months may be recommended. For acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, and for health maintenance, we recommend weekly or monthly tune ups.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
No. It’s very comfortable. Most people end up taking a nap during their treatment and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.
