What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and supported by modern research. By gently inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture works to restore balance in your energy flow, reduce inflammation, and activate your body’s natural healing response.
At Metro Wellness NYC, we use acupuncture to treat a wide range of conditions—including back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, joint pain, arthritis, stress, anxiety, migraines, insomnia, fatigue, and digestive issues. Whether you're recovering from an injury or seeking drug-free relief from chronic conditions, our experienced and licensed acupuncturist provides personalized care to support your healing journey.
Our treatments are designed to help relieve pain, reduce stress, improve circulation, and restore harmony within the body. In addition to acupuncture, we also offer cupping therapy—a traditional technique that uses suction to stimulate blood flow, ease muscle tension, and speed up recovery.
With a holistic, whole-body approach, we address not just symptoms but the root cause of imbalance. Whether you need support for pain management, women’s health, fertility, immune support, or general wellness, acupuncture at Metro Wellness offers safe, effective, and natural solutions tailored to your needs.

Each session is tailored to your condition, symptoms, and wellness goals. Treatment may include:

Electroacupuncture – Gentle electrical stimulation applied to needles for deeper pain relief
Cupping Therapy – A suction technique used to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and detox the body
Gua Sha – Gentle scraping of the skin to release muscle tightness and promote lymphatic flow
Tui Na (Acupressure Massage) – Chinese therapeutic massage to support muscle recovery and internal balance
Herbal Medicine Guidance – If needed, we may suggest natural herbs to complement your in-clinic treatments
We make your first acupuncture session calm, informative, and deeply relaxing.
