We’re Here for You
When choosing a Acupuncture Clinic, you want to be sure you are choosing one that you can fully trust to answer all of your questions and concerns. We offer you easy-to-understand guides on some of the most common inquiries we receive from our patients. Check it out below!
What age groups do you accept?
Our youngest patient was 5 years and a half, and our oddest is 92 :) Acupuncture can help anyone with any age. You can do acupuncture for health promotions and improve longevity as well :)
Do needles hurt?
Most people call it a painless treatment. The sensation caused by an acupuncture needle varies. It feels like a mosquito bite to most people. We have 3 types of needles in the office, one is the normal size, one thicker size and one hair thin needle we use mainly for facials, kids and tender areas. We ususally start with the regular size needles with new patients, if the medium size is too stong we can always switch to the thinner one.
How many treatments are typically needed?
While it is difficult to put a number on it, most people will begin to feel better after 3-5 treatments. Some of them can experience dramatic results after the first treatment. Some patients experience an immediate total or partial relief of their pain and other symptoms, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, pain, and swelling in acute sports injuries. The improvements are normally incremental. You may feel 20% better after your third treatment, 30% better after your fourth, and so on. The upward trajectory can have some glitches, but we are looking for a pattern of improvements. Chronic conditions, like 30 years of arthritis, tend to take longer to resolve.
What types of health insurance do you accept?
We take NYSHIP, Suffolk county blue cross blue shield, Atena, GEHA, Cigna, United Healthcare..etc
