To make prevention accessible and stress-free, we’re partnering with Vasolabs on February 19th, from 12PM to 7PM, to offer a comprehensive cardiovascular ultrasound diagnostic (only takes 15 minutes!) —right here at Alive and Well Dallas.
The Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT) Test is a safe, painless, and radiation-free way to evaluate your cardiovascular health. This advanced test examines your carotid artery to identify factors that increase your risk for heart attack, stroke, and other cardiac events.
After the test, you’ll receive results and a customized protocol in just 48 hours or less. If the test highlights any concerns, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with one of our providers to create a personalized treatment plan that includes a Heart Attack Prevention Program.

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.
Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.
You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.
Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
From spa treatments to functional medicine, Alive and Well offers a holistic health ecosystem at each of our three locations. Â
