About Augusta Acupuncture Clinic
Founded by Dr. Eric Sherrell, DACM, L.Ac., our clinic brings acupuncture and Chinese medicine to people across Augusta and the CSRA.
We start by listening, understanding your health history, and learning what you want to get back to doing.
Our approach
Your history.
Your goals.
Your plan.
People come to our clinic with concerns such as pain, neuropathy, sleep, stress, and digestive health. We serve the Augusta community and surrounding CSRA, including veterans seeking VA-authorized community care.
Care begins with a health history and examination. Dr. Sherrell then builds an individualized treatment plan and reassesses your progress as care continues. Acupuncture is part of your care—not a replacement for your existing health care team.
