Acu-Plus: Enhanced Acupuncture in Brooklyn

Introducing: Acu-Plus!

Acupuncture is one of several therapies used in the healing system of Chinese Medicine, with a 2000-year written history. It is commonly practiced throughout East Asia, though historical evidence shows variations of acupuncture in the ancient Americas as well.

In addition to our standard 60 minute private acupuncture appointments for returning patients, we also offer “Acu Plus” appointments. These 90 minute visits will be recommended on a case-by-case basis by the practitioner after the initial evaluation and treatment to determine necessity.

Acu Plus might be recommended for:

• Addressing mobility concerns, positional switching, and/or allowing more time to rest with needles
• Adding an herbal consultation or followup to an acupuncture appointment
• Allowing more time for other hands-on modalities such as: cupping, tui na, gua sha, moxibustion, or electrical stimulation. These modalities involve adding heat, current, or pressure to skin and fascia (muscle connective tissue) to increase blood flow and enhance the ability for the body to engage in self-healing.

Both 60 and 90 minute appointments are helpful for symptoms from conditions such as chronic pain, stress, digestive and reproductive problems, anxiety, and more!
