Our Services

Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a natural and effective treatment for stress relief, pain management, immune system strengthening, mood balancing, fertility enhancement, and overall health and wellness promotion. During an acupuncture treatment, flexible, hair-thin needles are inserted and manipulated at specific points on the body. Most patients find the sensations produced by acupuncture treatment to be deeply relaxing, both mentally and physically.

Chinese Herbs: Chinese herbs are a crucial component of Chinese medicine, and they can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions. Our practitioner has extensive training in Chinese herbs, and we offer a variety of high-quality, carefully selected herbal formulas.

Other Therapies: In addition to acupuncture and Chinese herbs, we offer several other therapies, including cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and tuina. These therapies can be used alone or in combination with acupuncture and Chinese herbs to provide a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan.

New Patients

We welcome new patients of all ages and health conditions. During your first visit, we will take a detailed health history, discuss your concerns and goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. We accept many insurance companies, including Blue Cross, Tufts, and Harvard Pilgrim, which have expanded coverage for acupuncture.

What to Expect

During your acupuncture treatment, you will lie down on a comfortable table, and the practitioner will insert and manipulate flexible, hair-thin needles at specific points on your body. Most patients find the sensations produced by acupuncture treatment to be deeply relaxing, both mentally and physically.
