Acupuncture is an effective form of medical treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system.

Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being.

Acupuncture is a 5,000-year-old Chinese art of medicine. This therapy aims to correct imbalances in the body by stimulating and enhancing the body's own ability to resist or overcome illnesses, pain, and other various conditions.

There is a belief that illnesses are caused by a disruption of the energy or “Qi.” This Qi circulates through 14 meridians or energy-carrying channels in various regions of the body. Along these areas lie hundreds of acupuncture points or acupoints. Undergoing acupuncture at our office on Long Island will target these specific locations, acupuncture helps the body heal on its own.

Treatment includes acupuncture, acupuncture with electrical stimulation, ariculartherapy, infrared heat therapy, cupping and lifestyle and nutritional counseling. Treatment takes place in a private room with a comfortable relaxing atmosphere. During acupuncture treatment at our Nassau County practice, which lasts approximately 15 – 20 minutes, lights are dimmed and soothing music is played.

Acupuncture is energy medicine that is more than 2,000 years old. It has a very long track record of success. It works with your body’s own energy, or what the Chinese call Qi (pronounced chi).

Acupuncture is very relaxing, it calms down inflammation, relieves stress, works to assist your body and mind to more normal and balanced functioning and stimulates your body’s own natural healing abilities. It does this by addressing the root causes of a disorder as well as treat symptoms.
