Meet Dr. Pamela Fernandes
Dr. Pam has always wanted to bring help to people who seemed beyond help, so 17 years after starting in practice, she had the opportunity to train with Dr. Yennie, the man who brought acupuncture to the United States. In 2012 she traveled to China with him to study acupuncture with Qigong Master, four-star general, MD, and acupuncturist Wan Su Jiang.
Today Dr. Pam uses Auricular Acupuncture, as well as spinal adjustments, which is needle-free acupuncture on specific ear points. This treatment is expedient, accurate, and effective while getting astonishing results.
By combining increased mobility and correction of the spine through chiropractic, with the balancing of energy channels, called meridians, through auricular acupuncture you are certain to get amazing results at Wellspring Chiropractic Acupuncture.

SoftWave FAQs
-
What results should I expect from SoftWave Therapy?
If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience a 20-50% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some patients require multiple sessions before experiencing improvement.
To determine if SoftWave is a suitable treatment for you, schedule a $69 New Patient Appointment, where you will receive one SoftWave treatment session, and the provider will assess whether further treatment is appropriate.
Unlike pain medications and injections, SoftWave treatment seeks to activate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level to deliver genuine and long-lasting results.
-
What is the SoftWave treatment process like?
SoftWave is a fast and convenient non-invasive procedure that usually lasts 10-15 minutes, with no downtime required for recovery. First, ultrasound gel is applied, then the SoftWave device is gently placed to deliver shock waves to the injured area. Most patients feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, while some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort. The use of anesthesia or numbing agents is not necessary. Effective communication with the provider during treatment can help identify treatment hotspots and track progress.
