About Baltimore Wellness Acupuncture
Dr. Alina Betsis, D.AC Licensed Acupuncturist in Pikesville, MD
Dr. Alina Betsis, D.Ac., L.Ac. provides thoughtful, individualized acupuncture care designed to help patients reduce pain, regulate stress, improve physical function, and support long-term health.
With nearly 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Betsis combines traditional acupuncture with advanced training in orthopedic and sports medicine acupuncture, dry needling, fertility support, and nervous system regulation. Her approach is both evidence-informed and highly personalized, with treatment plans tailored to each patient’s symptoms, health history, and goals.
Dr. Betsis believes effective care starts with listening carefully and understanding the full picture—not simply treating isolated symptoms. She takes time with each patient to create treatment plans that evolve as the body responds and changes over time.
In addition to acupuncture treatment, she may incorporate lifestyle guidance, nutritional support, and movement-based recommendations when appropriate to support recovery and overall well-being.

WHERE IT STARTED
Alina’s approach to acupuncture is rooted in the belief that health is more than the absence of symptoms. She believes true well-being comes from supporting the body, mind, and spirit together.
HOW SHE WORKS WITH PATIENTS
Alina takes the time to truly listen. Each patient is given the space to fully share what they’re experiencing, so care can be personalized and meaningful. She encourages patients to take an active role in their health and offers guidance around diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits that support lasting wellness.
WHAT SHE BELIEVES ABOUT HEALING
Alina believes that the body has an incredible ability to heal when it is properly supported. Her goal is to help patients feel better, stay well, and move through different stages of life with greater balance, energy, and ease.
