East Nashville Martial Arts


Alexa Hulsey, L.Ac.All of us at ENCA are committed to bringing the benefits of acupuncture to as many people as we can treat. We believe that everyone should have access to this beautifully simple, ancient, powerful medicine, and we’ve seen that acupuncture usually works best with regular, frequent treatments. Price shouldn’t be a factor when it comes to healthcare, so we want to make acupuncture affordable.

Practitioners

All of our practitioners have completed a Masters level education in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, have passed a national certification exam and are certified in Clean Needle Technique. Our acupuncturists are all licensed to practice acupuncture by the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners.
