Although acupuncture can be very effective, it is not the only

complementary approach used to treat pain. The recently developed

Active Release Technique (ART) is promising to be extremely helpful

for treating strain related problems. Many well known athletes

use it to recover from injuries and improve their performance.

ART utilizes more than 500 precise protocols to examine the texture

and movement of injured tissue. Carefully directed tension combined

with specific patient movements treats the discovered problems.

HealthPoint, P.C. is a medical practice that is attempting to

make these and other complimentary technologies available in

our area. It is located on Ga. Highway 54 (Shamrock industrial

center, on the border of Peachtree City and Tyrone) and will

be opened for patients in early December 2004.

Marat Plotkin, M.D. received his medical acupuncture training

at the University of California in Los Angeles and an additional

training in integrative acupuncture treatment of sports injuries

from McMaster University in Canada. He is also a certified ART

provider.

Come and visit our new office in December. We will try to help

you to live life with less pain.
