City Acupuncture of New York

Specialties

We opened City Acupuncture in 2008 with one simple mission: to make acupuncture a part of mainstream American health care. To accomplish this mission, we have drastically lowered the cost, increased our availability, and cut a lot of the unnecessary (and frankly, uncomfortable) excess from the modern acupuncture experience. We don’t push a lifestyle philosophy, we aren’t running a fancy spa, and we don’t pretend to be gurus — we are just acupuncturists with a LOT of experience, who believe strongly that acupuncture should be available for everyone!

As of May, 2013, we are also in-​network insurance providers for Cigna, Blue Cross, United Healthcare, GHI, Magna and more — give us a call or go to our website to check your benefits for free.

History

Established in 2008.

We started City Acupuncture as a third floor sublet on Union Square in 2008. We moved downtown one year later, and since then we have steadily been growing as the word has gotten out about affordable acupuncture in Manhattan. We started our herbal pharmacy in 2009, and now we have a whole room dedicated to herbal and nutritional consultations. Finally, in 2011, we began offering trigger point, facial rejuvenation, electro-​acupuncture, and massage therapy — all at greatly reduced rates.

Through all of the growth and changes, our focus remains the same. We are constantly striving to provide the highest quality medical care for the lowest possible cost. Acupuncture works. It works even better when you can get the full amount of treatment you need.
