This year has been nothing short of chaotic, and with the stress of the unpredictable school year ahead of us, now is a great time to give yourself the opportunity to heal and rejuvenate. This is exactly what the practice of acupuncture aims to do. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment meant to relieve pain, encourage relaxation, and re-energize the body and mind. The ancient practice uses extremely fine needles to target specific areas on the face and body, resulting in a myriad of health benefits. Different combinations of needle placements on the body can achieve different healing results (there are as many as 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body!). Take a look at our roundup on some of New York City’s favorite places to get acupuncture treatments (and they’re all continuing treatment with special attention to cleanliness and responsible social distancing during COVID).
