Johns Island Acupuncture is proud to bring innovative and holistic healing practices to the Charleston community. Led by Treayor Smith, L.AC, DIPL. OM, C.SMA, this new practice is the only clinic in the area offering DAO Needling, a specialized form of acupuncture that focuses on deeper tissue stimulation and precise targeting of acupuncture points. This advanced technique is particularly effective for scar tissue buildup whether it be from trauma, or post surgical. It is also an added therapy to traditional acupuncture treatments for chronic pain, musculoskeletal issues, and sports injuries, providing patients with a powerful alternative to traditional pain management.
DAO Needling, one of Treayor Smith’s core treatment focuses, offers unique benefits by literally “aerating the lawn” of tissue that has lost its life due to scar tissue buildup, or nerve impingements. By stimulating deeper layers of tissue, DAO Needling promotes faster healing and longer-lasting relief, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking effective solutions for persistent pain and injury recovery. Treayor’s expertise in this exclusive technique sets his practice apart, offering Johns Island residents access to cutting-edge care in a supportive and personalized environment.
With certifications in acupuncture, chinese herbal medicine, myofascial release, and sports medicine acupuncture, Treayor Smith brings a wealth of experience to his practice. His holistic approach integrates traditional Chinese medicine with modern techniques, ensuring that each patient receives comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs. By focusing on DAO Needling, Treayor provides his patients with a more targeted and effective treatment that promotes overall wellness and long-term health. Reduction of scar tissue can easily promote blood flow, and increase range of motion to affected areas.
“We’re excited to introduce DAO Needling to the Lowcountry,” said Treayor Smith. “This technique allows us to achieve deeper levels of healing and provide our patients with lasting relief. Our goal is to not only treat symptoms but to help our patients achieve a healthier, more balanced life.”
