Acupuncture FAQs

Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within the coherent system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
No one has ever died from acupuncture applied by a trained and licensed practitioner. Not a bad track record when you consider that the medicine is guesstimated to be more than 2,500 years old.

One of the great advantages of acupuncture is that, other than an occasional bruise, there are no side effects.

This is the most common question asked about acupuncture because many people associate needles with pain. Acupuncture needles are about the thickness of a dog’s whisker, so they are virtually painless when inserted.

This depends on the condition being treated. Although the acupoints are located throughout the entire body, usually the needles are placed on the extremities from your elbows down to your hands, and from your knees down to your feet. Other common areas include the abdomen, back, and ears.

Needles are individually wrapped and sterilized by the manufacturer. They are opened only when they are ready to be used, and afterwards, each needle is disposed of in a medical waste container.

Testimonials

“Lee really cares about his patients and gives advice and knowledge freely to allow patients to feel at ease and empowered. And he has two convenient offices in Scarsdale and NYC.

I can’t say enough good about him and am grateful to have him as my practitioner. If you have never had acupuncture and/or are on-the-fence about trying it or other types of alternative medicine and therapy, Lee is highly recommended!”*

-Val B.

“After 6 months of chronic severe pain following shoulder surgery I had exhausted every option with no luck getting relief. I had tried everything from daily PT, massage, multiple doctors and even prescription pain killers but nothing helped. After ONE session with Lee my pain was gone!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! I feel like I finally have my life back.”*

-Keren G.

“I have been seeing Lee for over a decade for a variety of issues but mainly for hormonal balancing and pain management. The thing I enjoy the most about seeing Lee is he is always up to date on the latest alternative healing modalities and combines multiple tools and tactics into each session. He takes great care to listen to you and create a treatment unique to you.

His bedside manner is so warm and understanding and I feel safe to share freely without judgement, which for me is a huge. He also has a wide knowledge of nutrition, herbs and alternative therapies to add a holistic support system to enhance healing. I don’t trust my health to just anyone but Lee I would recommend to everyone!”*

-Caitlin C.

“Lee has been instrumental in my own healing process. His care and attention to detail is unlike many other practitioners. When I was dealing with a chronic back issue, hip and neck issues, Lee was one of the few practitioners I trusted to help guide me along my process. I highly recommend a session with Lee if there is something physically you have been struggling with or something you might want to get another perspective on.”*

-Loren A.

“I came to Lee’s sessions with bad posture and lower back pain, a few years ago. That very first session brought instant relief and healing to my body.

Not only has his unique acupuncture and cupping technique relieved the pain, but his sessions have brought a deep and transformative state of relaxation into my life. Lee offers balance, nourishment and healing in every session and they have become an indispensable part of my self-care. His gifts as a healer cannot fully be described in words but only experienced. Absolutely as good as it gets.”*

-M.N.

“Lee is more than just an acupuncturist; he is a master of Chinese Medicines, offering a wide variety of breathing techniques, aromatherapy, tools, natural supplements, therapies and much more.

I am so grateful to have found Lee, as he has helped nurture and guide me towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.”*
