More About Us
Erin M
While I started to go to Julie Shindler-Cohen because I was having trouble conceiving, I found the benefits to be much broader. I had a lot of anxiety due to my work life and travel schedule to the point where I had terrible heartburn. During my initial session, Julie took her time getting to know every aspect of my health history and diet. She gave me advice on how to improve my diet and I noticed right away improvements in my digestion. I found the experience of going weekly to be very calming and was energized when I left. My anxiety decreased and heartburn went away. I ended up getting pregnant on my second month of going to see Julie.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have provided the answers to some of the most common questions we receive.

Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles at various points on the body’s surface to improve physiological functioning of the body.

The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance and health by promoting an even and plentiful circulation of qi and blood throughout the body.

Acupuncture mobilizes and regulates qi and blood to invigorate the physiological function of muscles, nerves, glands and organs.

No. At insertion, the patient may feel some heaviness, tingling, a slight pinch or a sensation running up and down the meridian. After the needles are in, the patient often feels very relaxed; some even fall asleep.

Each person is unique. Treatment protocols vary depending upon what exactly is being treated. For example, when treating an injury or pain, we can often tell within three-to-four visits if acupuncture will have a positive effect.
