Meet Dr. Brittny Antoine
Dr. Brittny Antoine is a pain management specialist practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Lafayette, Louisiana. Born and raised in New Iberia, Louisiana, Dr. Antoine earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and received both her master's and doctoral degrees at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California. After graduation, she became an apprentice of Dr. Donald Snow in Lake Charles, LA, and then the Clinical Director of Dr. Snow's 2nd clinic in Lafayette until she opened her own clinic in Lafayette three years later. She is particularly fascinated with the mind-body connection and tries to explore this in her practice of Chinese Medicine. She has a passion for spreading the word about the efficacy of acupuncture to her local community and advocates for Chinese Medicine as a low-cost solution to the opioid epidemic in America and the high occurrence of chronic pain. Chinese medicine is also an excellent alternative to the standard care in women's health and fertility. Her ultimate goal is to see the integration of medicine in America to include more natural modalities through building relationships with practitioners in the Western medical community.
How Our Treatment Usually Works
For chronic pain or other chronic internal issues I expect to see patients 1-2 times a week until the severity decreases. As symptom relief improves, we can space sessions further and further apart. The end goal is that you’ll only need to come monthly-quarterly for maintenance. On average, it takes about three months to get to maintenance.
For fertility patients, you can expect to come weekly for 6 months. I do not recommend actively trying until 3 months in to treatments.
