Specialized Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine in Orlando for Pain & Complex Conditions

Dr. Esteban Ortega, DACM
Acupuncture Physician
Every pain tells a story—whether it’s the burning of sciatica, the deep ache of arthritis, or the numbness of neuropathy. At HIM, we don’t just treat symptoms—we uncover the root of the problem.
Dr. Esteban Ortega, DACM combines advanced acupuncture techniques, dry needling, and specialized muscle testing to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal from within—all through expert integrative medicine.
Chronic Conditions Require More Than Quick Fixes
We Understand the Patterns Behind Pain, Inflammation, and Imbalance
Most chronic symptoms don’t come from one cause — they result from a combination of inflammation, muscle dysfunction, and internal imbalances. That’s why patients seeking integrative medicine in Orlando turn to HIM for care that looks deeper than just the symptoms.
Whether it’s neuropathy, arthritis, autoimmune flare-ups, or hormonal imbalances, our goal is to address the deeper dysfunctions behind the diagnosis — so your body can finally start to heal with a personalized plan of acupuncture and integrative care.

Dr. Ortega was able to see me the same day I called—no wait, I was seen immediately. He explained everything clearly and created a treatment plan just for me. This was my first time trying acupuncture, and I was a bit anxious, but he was patient, kind, and has a great bedside manner. I’m actually looking forward to the upcoming visits!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Ortega at Horizon Integrative Medicine for over 6 months. The combination of gua sha, cupping, and dry needling has greatly reduced my shoulder and hip pain—I can now work out without limitations. When I get the occasional tension headache, he quickly relieves it by releasing tension in my neck and traps. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Muscle testing helps us pinpoint weaknesses, imbalances, and nerve dysfunctions that may be contributing to your symptoms. It allows us to target the root cause more precisely—so your treatment works faster and lasts longer.
Most patients describe it as relaxing. You may feel a light pinch, warmth, or dull sensation, followed by deep calm. Many patients even fall asleep during their sessions.
It depends on your condition and how long you’ve had it. Chronic pain usually requires a structured plan. You’ll receive a clear recommendation after your consultation and muscle testing exam.
Totally understandable to ask about cost! The consultation is free and includes a full muscle test and care plan. Pricing depends on your condition and number of visits—we’ll go over everything in detail during your consult.
No insurance is required. Your consultation is completely free, and our treatments are designed to be accessible without insurance limitations. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, we’ll verify them for you and provide a superbill so you can submit a claim for reimbursement. We also accept HSA and FSA cards for payment.
You’re welcome to start with the consultation, but long-term relief usually takes more than one session. Acupuncture works best with consistency—especially for chronic or complex conditions.
Absolutely. Many patients travel 30–60 minutes (or more) to get acupuncture in Orlando because they haven’t found relief anywhere else. If you’re dealing with pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, our personalized approach may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
