About Edward Scarlett
Founder of Alive and Well Acupuncture Clinic
For more than 30 years, Edward Scarlett has provided acupuncture and integrative healthcare to patients throughout Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and the surrounding South Florida communities.
His clinical approach has developed through decades of study and experience in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, complementary healthcare, nutrition, herbal and homeopathic approaches, and specialized methods of health assessment.
A major focus of his practice is the treatment of acute and chronic pain, including conditions involving the neck, back, shoulders, knees, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and other musculoskeletal structures.
However, his approach extends beyond pain treatment.
Looking at the Bigger Picture
Edward believes that symptoms often provide important information about how the body is functioning as a whole. His approach combines the principles of Chinese medicine with an understanding of Western physiology and complementary healthcare to look beyond the immediate symptom.
When appropriate, this may include Autonomic Response Testing (ART), Electrodermal Screening (EAV), nutritional assessment, blood chemistry and advanced laboratory review, and genetic and nutrigenomic analysis.
These additional tools can help provide a broader picture of factors that may be influencing a person’s health and can help guide an individualized approach to care.
Areas of Focus
Patients seek care at Alive and Well Acupuncture for a variety of concerns, including:
- Acute and chronic pain
- Neck, back, shoulder and knee pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Digestive concerns
- Sleep difficulties and insomnia
- Fatigue and low energy

- Support for healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular wellness

An Individualized Approach
No two patients are exactly alike. Treatment is based on the individual’s symptoms, history, physical findings and overall health picture.
The goal is not only to provide relief, but also to better understand factors that may be contributing to the problem and to support the body’s ability to function and recover.
Throughout his career, Edward has continued his postgraduate education in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, complementary and biological medicine, nutrition, ART/EAV, laboratory interpretation, and other integrative approaches to health.
He has also been a featured speaker on AM radio discussing natural healthcare approaches and The Seven Major Symptoms of Stress.
