Acupuncture Clinic in Sarasota, FL

Transform Your Health Through Root-Cause Integrative Medicine

Dr. Luo's Oriental Medicine carries forward a rich legacy of skill, integrity, and heartfelt, compassionate care originally established in 2008 by Dr. Hui Luo, AP, PhD.
In March 2025, after many fulfilling years of serving this wonderful community through acupuncture and holistic care, Dr. Luo made the decision to step down from full-time clinical practice to become a consultant. Today, her mentee and friend, Dr. Deborah "Deb" Scandin, AP, RRT, leads our premier acupuncture clinic in Sarasota, FL. Dr. Deb has over 30 years of combined clinical experience blending Traditional Chinese Medicine with her skill as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, using functional diagnostics to treat the root cause of your symptoms, Dr. Deb customizes every treatment using lab work, imaging studies, comprehensive health assessments, tongue and pulse diagnoses, and herbal medicine. You receive personalized care that restores balance, boosts immunity, and promotes long-term vitality. Our trusted acupuncture clinic delivers holistic solutions tailored to every stage of life. We are committed to prioritizing lasting wellness over temporary symptom relief.

Restore Mobility and Accelerate Pain Recovery

Physical pain should never limit your daily active lifestyle. As an experienced neuromuscular massage therapist, Dr. Deb uses myofascial and trigger point release, acupuncture and electric stimulation to resolve deep muscle injuries. She is also highly skilled at homeopathic point injection therapy, cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, and Accelerated Recovery Performance. We have successfully treated elite athletes from the Baltimore Orioles, IMG Academy, and professional volleyball and tennis organizations. Our acupuncture clinic is dedicated to promoting fast myofascial recovery and long-term injury prevention.

Breathe Freely with Integrative Pulmonary Care

Lung conditions require specialized support to restore your comfort and vitality. We offer targeted solutions, like respiratory acupuncture paired with thorough assessments, clapping, and percussion to clear pathogens and ease breathing difficulty. Dr. Deb is an expert respiratory therapist, helping patients manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, bronchitis, long COVID, seasonal allergies, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, and other disorders.

  • Breathing Retraining: Teaching specific techniques like pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic pacing to optimize lung mechanics during exertion.
  • Self-Management Education: Structured guidance on proper inhaler techniques, medication compliance, oxygen equipment use, and early recognition of flare-ups (action planning).
  • Behavioral & Psychosocial Support: Interventions aimed at improving long-term adherence to physical activity and coping with chronic illness.

Dr. Deb is also successful in treating patients with allergies using Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET). This is a non-invasive, alternative medicine method created by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in 1983 to diagnose and treat allergies. NAET is the perfect treatment for children and infants, a surrogate can be used instead of acupuncture with equally beneficial results.
Through respiratory acupuncture, we help reduce chronic coughing and airway inflammation. By choosing Dr. Luo’s Oriental Medicine, you receive safe medication guidance alongside comprehensive vital sign assessments.
