Our Services & Treatments
Acupuncture: A Practice Rooted in Tradition and Insight
At Acupuncture NYC, acupuncture treatments are tailored to the individual. Techniques are drawn from both modern research and traditional practices like the Balance Method and Master Tung acupuncture. The approach is precise: understanding the unique needs of each patient and applying methods that are proven to work.
One aspect that sets this practice apart is the consideration of seasonal changes and their effects on human physiology. This knowledge allows for adjustments to treatments, a practice dating back to the Song Dynasty but often neglected in contemporary Acupuncture.
Specialized Therapies
Our clinic offers advanced therapeutic techniques, including Fire Cupping, Wet Cupping, Bloodletting, and Gua Sha. These specialized therapies may seem simple, but they can achieve truly remarkable results when executed with the finesse that comes from understanding the tradition and having decades of clinical experience. This approach reflects our commitment to marrying ancient wisdom with contemporary practice, bringing our patients the most effective healing process.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is an integral part of our acupuncture sessions at Acupuncture NYC. It doesn’t just offer relaxation – it provides a deeper insight into muscle-skeletal imbalances. Our highly trained practitioners deliver this dual therapeutic and diagnostic approach and are adept in techniques including deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy. Our commitment is to understand and address each patient’s unique health and wellness needs, reflecting a practice rooted in tradition but responsive to modern health demands.

Understanding Acupuncture: Balancing the Body's Qi through Ancient Wisdom and Modern Insights
Originating in China, Acupuncture is more than a therapeutic practice—it’s a profound philosophy aimed at restoring balance to the body. By using thin, flexible needles at specific acupuncture points, practitioners influence the vital force, or Qi, navigating the body’s 14 regular meridians.
In the complex Qi physiology, the circulation of Qi within these meridians follows different cycles, and the goal of acupuncture treatment is to achieve harmony in how these pathways interact. The result? Alleviation of both acute and chronic pain, improved functioning of internal organs, enhanced sleep quality, sharper cognition, and better reproductive function.
Fascinatingly, modern research is beginning to catch up with the positive personal experiences of millions of patients and acupuncture clinicians. From managing ailments like lower back pain [1] and fibromyalgia [2] to aid in post-stroke aphasia recovery [3], the evidence supporting Acupuncture’s effectiveness continues to grow.
Though the exact mechanism of Acupuncture still remains a mystery, the consensus within both traditional and contemporary medical communities is clear: Acupuncture works. It’s a testament to the enduring wisdom of an ancient practice that continues to resonate in our modern world, bridging the gap between personal experience and clinical validation.
