About

Dr. Lisa Oskardmay strongly believes in each person’s power to heal and she uses trusted, effective natural health methods to support care from within. At Acupractic, you have options.

Distinctive Background

Dr. Oskardmay graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, and holds undergraduate degrees in biology and zoology with honors for medical research performed at the National Institute of Health. After graduation, Lisa spent two years living and working as a teacher with the US Peace Corps in Belize, where she learned more about the power of natural healing methods, including chiropractic, acupuncture, and herbal healing. She experienced the benefits of each type of health care, marveling at the hands-on effectiveness and the opportunity of each healing method to provide a personalized approach to health care.

Dr. Oskardmay attended the National University of Health Sciences (National College of Chiropractic), completed an internship at the Chicago Salvation Army Clinics, and graduated in 1995 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic and an initial Certification in Acupuncture. In 2010, following additional training and an internship, she attained a Master’s Certification in Acupuncture from the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in Sugar Grove, NC. Every year, Dr. Oskardmay attends continuing education workshops; recent topics were Integrative Medicine Nutrition- The Gut Brain Connection, Activator Chiropractic Adjusting for Headaches, and Acupuncture Safety and Ethics.

She opened Wellness Center Chiropractic and Acupuncture in 1995 from a separate office connected to her home. This enabled her to be close to her growing family in their young years, and her practice grew over time. Eventually, she outgrew the home-based business model, so she and her husband moved, and Dr. Oskardmay opened a clinic at Eastowne Properties in Chapel Hill.  She operates two offices- Acupractic Natural Healing Center and Acupuncture at Eastowne LLC, at 205 Providence Rd. in Chapel Hill, NC. She and her office assistants love helping patients out of this comfortable, serene, and accessible location, surrounded by natural beauty while convenient to Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh.

Helping People is a Natural Passion

Dr. Oskardmay particularly enjoys seeing the joy in new patients’ eyes when they experience their first adjustment or acupuncture treatment. Having patients who have been patients for years refer friends and family is gratifying. She also appreciates referrals from numerous health professionals in the community. Many people come in for acute pain relief; many others come in for the preventative health benefits of chiropractic and acupuncture.

At Acupractic, we help people improve health and physical and mental balance using techniques ranging from hands-on and Activator chiropractic to needle and non-needle acupuncture. Additionally, she educates patients regarding nutrition and exercise to restore good posture and relieve stress. Dr. Oskardmay annually trains to provide the most effective and safest alternative medicine. She is pleased to have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and her business has over ninety-nine 5-star Google reviews, including several informative video testimonials. Her YouTube channel informs patients regarding exercises and stretches to help them between visits.

People ask, “Why do you use both chiropractic and acupuncture when other clinics only use one?” Dr. Lisa recognizes that both hands-on treatments are valuable in their own unique way. They complement and work well together, enhancing the body’s ability to heal itself so that you can start feeling better faster. People save time, energy, and money by having the opportunity to choose one or both treatments in one treatment setting at the same visit. Patients benefit from the combination of gentle, effective chiropractic and acupuncture.

What Our Patients Say About Us

“Dr. Oskardmay relieved the pain I had been dealing with for about a week. She also explained my problem in a way that I understood, which no other Doctor has been able to do. I look forward to my next visit and the relaxation I felt after my last adjustment.” – Fluff B.

“I have been going to Dr. Lisa for four weeks now, and I see a significant difference in my chronic nerve pain and finally feeling some relief. I have been working with my neurologist for over a year, and I was very dissatisfied since I had two MRI tests and EMGs, and still no progress forward. I was also going back to pain management, and the only suggestion was to up my prescription intake. I am a full believer in holistic medicine. Dr. Lisa has provided this for me. She took the time to “really†listen to my story of chronic nerve pain and provided a treatment of acupuncture and chiropractic practices that work. I feel I’m on my way to optimal health and well-being instead of just treating my symptoms as nerve pain. The staff at Acupractic Natural Healing is amicable and professional. Dr. Lisa is very knowledgeable and attentive to your needs. She is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I would highly recommend Dr. Lisa if you want to be free from chronic pain.” – Kathy B.

“I came to her in serious pain, with limited mobility after eight weeks of pain meds and PT. It’s amazing how one area (the back) can affect the rest of the body. As an older woman with osteoporosis and a fragile core muscle structure, it is difficult to hold myself upright. I favor the wrong muscles. Dr. Lisa has begun to straighten all that out for me. Acupuncture has a fantastic, subtle effect. I am healing with her patience, keen interest, and professional knowledge. Healing from within to where I can take over and be a strong, active adult again! Thank you, Dr. Lisa!†– Bobbie B.
