BATH — Richard Connell, a licensed acupuncturist, recently opened a new clinic in Bath. The newly remodeled office is in the Halcyon Yarn building, just off of the elevator on the second floor.

He offers his services to Bath, Brunswick and all of Mid-coast Maine.

“I am happy to bring my particular style of acupuncture to the area,” Connell said. “My treatments are very results oriented and, as much as possible, are based upon the most current research available to provide the fastest and most effective healing possible through acupuncture and related modalities.”

Connell’s website (midcoastacupuncture.com) has a section devoted to posting reports from the latest acupuncture research studies and other acupuncture information that he hopes the community will find interesting and helpful.

“It seems that people find me after they have tried almost everything else. Nothing has helped or worked as well as they hoped or they didn’t like the answers they received from other health-care providers. Maybe they didn’t like the drugs or painkillers they were prescribed. These are the cases that I thrive on,” said Connell.

He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Maine in Orono. After 13 years in New Mexico and practicing as a licensed primary care physician and doctor of oriental medicine, he and his wife, Megan, a massage therapist, returned to Maine to be closer to family and friends.

Connell is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Maine.
