About Us

Northfield Acupuncture & Alternative Medicine Clinic is a general practice Integrative Medicine provider in Texarkana, AR for almost 30 years. Our founder and Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM), Dan Martin, saw that residents of Texarkana and the surrounding region of Southwest Arkansas, Northwest Louisiana, Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma had limited healthcare options.
 

Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine draw on the foundations of Traditional Oriental Medicine which focus on the body as a whole system built for health and healing. Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine treatments seek to remove barriers and address imbalances that feed dis-ease and inhibit recovery.
