Treated at all four Suffolk County offices
Acupuncture may help with anxiety. We offer it at four Suffolk County offices as something you add to your existing care rather than something you swap it for.
If you recognized yourself in more than one of those, that is enough to book. You do not need a diagnosis to come in, and you do not need a referral to start.
This one sits with our acupuncture team. Your plan is built by a licensed acupuncturist, and we bring in the rest of the practice only if you need it.
The main approach here, including ear acupuncture. Sessions are quiet and most people find them calming in themselves.
Pressure rather than needles, and something we can teach you to use yourself between visits. The research on it before procedures is surprisingly good.
1
We work out the cause
A full history and a hands-on exam. We look at how you move, not only where it hurts, so the plan targets the thing driving the pain.
2
Treatment starts the same day
You are treated on the first visit in most cases. No waiting for a second appointment to begin.
3
We reassess as you go
We check progress at set points and adjust. If something is not working we change it or tell you honestly that we are not the right fit.
We accept The Empire Plan/NYSHIP, BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare and UnitedHealthcare, and other plans that have out-of-network coverage. We check your benefits before your first visit and tell you what you will owe, so nothing lands on you at the front desk.
We handle the billing. In most cases you pay a co-insurance amount at the visit and we take it from there.
Not every plan covers every service, and coverage depends on medical necessity. A few plans place us outside their network. When that happens we still file the claim for you and give you the cost in writing before you book.
Plans we accept
The research is strongest for short term situations such as anxiety before surgery or a procedure, where pooled trials have found reductions compared with sham or no treatment. Studies in longer standing anxiety also point in a helpful direction, though most are small and the quality varies, so we would rather say it may help than promise it will. Acupuncture, ear acupuncture and acupressure are generally well tolerated, with mild bruising the usual side effect.

This sits alongside your other care rather than replacing it. If anxiety is affecting your daily life, please also work with your physician or a mental health professional, and do not change or stop prescribed medication without speaking to whoever prescribed it. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988, or call 911.
With most plans you pay your co-insurance. We check your benefits before your first visit and tell you the number. Coverage for this varies more than it does for pain conditions, so it is worth checking first.
No, and we would not suggest it. This is something you add. Please do not change any prescribed medication without talking to your prescriber.
Best for short term anxiety, such as before a procedure or surgery. For longer standing anxiety the studies point in a helpful direction but they are mostly small, so we say may help rather than does help.
Quiet. Most people lie still for twenty to thirty minutes and a lot of them find that part alone is the useful bit.
Yes. Acupressure uses pressure instead, and we can show you points to use yourself between visits.
No.
