Acupuncture treatment is better when you begin with a series of treatments in order to get the optimal response from your body. Depending on your particular condition, you may need multiple sessions per week or one session per week. I assess each case individually and we will tailor a treatment plan that works specifically for you, including lifestyle changes that may be helpful for you.

We do not take insurance at this time.

Wear comfortable clothing. Generally acupuncture points will be used on the arms and legs so wearing loose clothing so we can access elbows and knees is helpful.

You may park right outside the office at 446 Broadway, on Broadway or on Greene Lane. Parking is free.

Acupuncture is an eligible expense for many flexible spending accounts (FSA). You should check with your provider to confirm if you can use your flexible spending account funds for acupuncture and how the reimbursement process works.
