Treated at all four Suffolk County offices
If migraines are taking days off you every month, acupuncture is worth considering as prevention. We treat migraine at four Suffolk County offices and count your headache days with you so we both know whether it is working.
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.
Used as prevention, not to stop an attack in progress. A course runs at least six sessions before we judge whether it is helping.
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
Acupuncture has moderate quality evidence for reducing how often migraines happen. In pooled trials about half of people receiving acupuncture had their attack frequency at least halved, compared with about four in ten receiving a simulated version, so part of the benefit is not specific to the needles. UK national guidance suggests considering up to ten sessions over five to eight weeks. We count your headache days and stop if nothing is changing.

A sudden worst-ever headache, headache with fever and a stiff neck, any new weakness, numbness or speech change, headache after a head injury, a new headache over age 50, or headache in pregnancy with visual changes or swelling needs urgent medical assessment. If you use acute medication most days, ask your physician about medication overuse headache. Do not change or stop prescribed medication without talking to the prescriber.
With most plans you pay your co-insurance. We check your benefits before the first visit and tell you the number.
That is not what the evidence supports. It is used to reduce how often attacks happen, not as a rescue treatment.
No. Nothing here supports stopping or reducing medication, and you should not change anything without talking to your prescriber. We work alongside it.
At least six. UK guidance suggests up to ten over five to eight weeks. We count your headache days before and during, so the answer is a number rather than a feeling.
No.
