Your Trusted Acupuncture & Massage Therapy in Albany, NY
Founded in 2015, Wellness Roots Acupuncture & Massage Therapy was established by Dr. Liz DiNapoli Lemire, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with dual licensure in acupuncture and massage therapy. My journey into holistic healthcare began as a patient seeking relief from chronic pain, migraines, and autoimmune challenges, which inspired me to transition from a nonprofit career to clinical practice. Over the years, I have treated thousands of patients while navigating my own health battles, including Lyme Disease and inflammatory bowel disease, deepening my empathy and clinical expertise. My practice integrates Eastern and Western modalities, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and customized massage therapy, grounded in rigorous training from Pacific College of Health and Science. I hold board certifications from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and specialize in womens health, pediatrics, and chronic pain management.My approach prioritizes personalized care, combining classical acupuncture techniques with modern therapeutic methods to address the root causes of imbalance. The treatment environment emphasizes comfort and healing, with patients consistently reporting improved sleep, reduced pain, and enhanced well-being. I maintain active memberships in the Acupuncture Society of New York and the American Massage Therapy Association, ensuring adherence to professional standards. My commitment to patient education and collaborative care empowers individuals to participate actively in their healing journeys. Whether addressing acute injuries, chronic conditions, or stress-related ailments, Wellness Roots remains dedicated to fostering holistic wellness through compassionate, evidence-informed practice.
