About Synapse Acupuncture
Put simply, a synapse is a junction between two neurons that acts as a bridge of communication so that your body can execute various functions such as movement, learning, or memory. At Synapse Acupuncture, we strive to be the bridge between traditional East Asian medicine and modern neuroscience in order to provide evidence-informed acupuncture treatments that will have your brain and body functioning their best.
Meet the Acupuncturist
Sarah Stribling is a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in the state of North Carolina and is board-certified by the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.
Sarah’s desire to practice acupuncture came after her experience as a patient in treating her mild traumatic brain injury. She experienced firsthand how acupuncture and Traditional East Asian medicine not only were extremely beneficial in improving her condition, but the approach to understanding a patient’s presentation was validating in a way other healthcare providers lacked.
Sarah trained in neuroscience-focused clinical settings before founding Synapse — including Health Partners Neuroscience Center and Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, where she worked alongside neurologists and rehabilitation specialists treating complex conditions of the nervous system.
When not in clinic you’ll find Sarah tending to her numerous houseplants and exploring the outdoors with her dog Busta.
