Calvert Rejuvenations Acupuncture & Spa
About
With a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, I bring a holistic and highly individualized approach to healing, specializing in the treatment of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). These complex connective tissue disorders often come with chronic pain, joint instability, fatigue, and nervous system dysregulation. My practice focuses on supporting patients with gentle, targeted acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, and lifestyle strategies that help stabilize joints, reduce inflammation, and improve overall quality of life. I also work extensively with pain, emotional health, and digestive issues, creating treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique physiology and needs.
EDS Healthcare in Virginia
The UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center in Charlottesville, founded by Dr. Dacre Knight (who came from Mayo Clinic), is a significant new resource for the state and region. It received over 550 patient requests within its first month of opening. Bethesda Physiocare in nearby Maryland is an EDS Society Center of Excellence. Northern Virginia patients also have access to D.C.-area programs including Johns Hopkins.
Central and northern Virginia patients have good access to the UVA program in Charlottesville and D.C.-area resources. However, rural western Virginia and the southeastern Tidewater region face more limited options. The UVA program's rapid demand suggests wait times may be significant. Hampton Roads patients have a local support group but limited specialist access.
Finding Acupuncture for EDS
Let the acupuncturist know about your EDS before the first session so they can use thinner needles and lighter technique to account for easy bruising and skin fragility.
