About Us

When needles are inserted, there is an expectation to feel a slight dull sensation. Beyond this feeling, there is no pain with acupuncture. 

Acupuncture is simply reminding the body of its own innate healing capabilities. The insertion of needles assists the twelve energy channels of the body to flow correctly and removes any stagnation that might be residing in our system. 

Acupuncture can be good for several conditions from back pain, physical injury, indigestion and vertigo to emotional conditions such as anxiety, depression and grief

Once the first appointment is made, you will be sent the intake paperwork electronically which you will fill out and send back for review before meeting. The first appointment will take on average 90-120 minutes in which we will review your health history and have a treatment. Subsequent appointments will be 50-60 minutes. 

Each case is individual and there is no way to know how long it will take for specific ailments to dissolve. Conditions that are chronic and have been around for a good amount of time will take longer to reverse as opposed to a condition that is acute. It is expected to see a shift within 5-6 treatments.

Empire BCBS, which the local schools use, has full 100% coverage of acupuncture treatments. NYSHIP has a deductible of $1,250. Once that deductible is met, they cover 80% of the treatment.  If you do not have either one of these insurances, please call your own company to find out what coverage, if any, that you have.  I will not bill the insurance company myself but will happily provide a super bill for you to submit on your own.

I accept cash, check and credit card. There will be a 3% processing fee on all credit card transactions. 

Sometimes the chronic conditions that we face are brought on by the choices we make for our own bodies. Beyond the needles, some dietary and lifestyle recommendations might be made to further your progress.
