WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

We understand you may have questions before scheduling your appointment. Here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions.

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, that has been in practice for more than 3,000 years. The philosophy behind TCM is to maintain balance between the opposing forces yin and yang to keep the energy in the body flowing, which is believed to be the key behind good health.

According to TCM, a block in the flow of energy, which disrupts the balance, leads to pain, illness, and poor functioning. Acupuncture is used to help restore the flow and get you back to good health through stimulation of specific acupoints. Best Acupuncture New York Acupuncture in Manhattan NY

What Happens During Acupuncture?

Before you begin treatment, the acupuncturist at Move Well MD takes your health history and completes an eastern-medicine inspired physical exam, paying close attention to the color, shape, and coating on your tongue.

After the examination, you’ll lie back on the exam table, and the acupuncturist will place tiny needles at various acupoints on your body. After the needles are placed, you’ll continue to lie on the table anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the need and the desired outcome of the treatment.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Pain may be the reason you want to see the acupuncturist, but you may feel leery about having your skin poked with tiny needles. Acupuncture doesn’t hurt. As skilled professionals, the acupuncturists at Move Well MD know exactly where and how to place the acupuncture needles so you don’t feel any pain.

Most people report feeling more relaxed during and after treatment.

Best care I have ever received from a medical provider. Everyone here really cares and is clearly very knowledgeable. I saw another provider before who did not take the time to actually make a diagnosis - received one here on my first visit. Doctor is experienced and works with your comfort level. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ben and the staff are the best I feel like Family every time i come to the office. My first visit to the office was almost 2 years ago because of a sever neck crank during sparring i couldn't look to my right for almost 2 weeks. So I tried Move Well for relief because it was in the area and thank goodness I did. After the first visit I already had almost full range and mobility of my neck.

I've been a regular patient at Move Well for over 6 years. Dr Ben has truly helped me stay in good physical shape well into my 40s. Any aches and pains are immediately alleviated as a result of my weekly visits. Ask about the acupuncture, it's been a great addition to my routine.
