Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow and correct imbalances in the body. This treatment effectively addresses chronic pain, anxiety, and digestive issues by activating the body's natural healing processes. Patients often experience symptom relief after the first session, with lasting benefits through regular treatments.
Herbal Remedies
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments for sustained wellness. We prescribe plant-based remedies in pill, powder, or tea form to address specific health concerns. These time-tested formulas work synergistically with acupuncture to restore balance and support long-term healing for chronic conditions.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans enhance treatment outcomes by addressing dietary factors affecting health. We provide evidence-based recommendations on food properties and eating habits to support recovery from chronic conditions. This holistic approach helps patients achieve lasting improvements in energy levels and overall well-being.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy improves circulation and relieves muscle tension through controlled suction. This technique effectively reduces pain and inflammation by increasing blood flow to targeted areas. Patients benefit from immediate pain relief and accelerated healing of musculoskeletal injuries.
Auricular Therapy
Auricular therapy treats stress-related conditions through strategic needle placement in the ear. This specialized technique follows standardized protocols for anxiety reduction and addiction recovery. Patients experience rapid stress relief and improved emotional regulation through this evidence-based approach.

I went to see Mark for chronic hip pain, after multiple attempts to address it with physical therapy, chiropractors and orthopedists. On my first visit, Mark gave me relief. He also opened the door to much more comprehensive healing in all other aspects of my life. Through his astute observations and diagnoses, Mark identified and then helped heal issues with digestion, stress, and fear. He helped me find my own power and confidence to propel my professional life and personal relationships. He gave me incredible insights that have transformed my marriage, my relationship to my kids, my siblings

It is with deep gratitude that I write this testimonial for Mark Gutkin, whose insight, compassion, and wisdom, on top of his expert technical knowledge of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, started saving my life about six months ago, in May 2020. I was a wreck when I staggered into his office for the first time, barely making it up the three flights of stairs no longer required to reach his lovely new office. After months of pursuing every avenue that Standard Western Medicine had to offer General Practitioners, Rheumatologists, Allergists, Pulmonologists, Ear-Nose-Throat specialists

Mark has made a huge impact on my quality of life. I came to Mark with a variety of issues from back pain to anxiety, the list goes on. I felt helpless and didnt know where else to turn, thankfully I found Mark. Mark is patient, kind, attentive, caring. Every session he is fully invested in helping me get my body back on track. I had no previous experience with acupuncture and was very nervous for my first appointment but he put my anxiety at ease and has really helped me figure out what my body needs to feel better. I have and will continue to highly recommend Marks practice.

Mark was incredibly helpful, professional and welcoming. I was experiencing awful migraines and one morning out of desperation I sent Mark an inquiry to see if he could take me same day -- he made the time to see me despite a visibly busy schedule. I would highly recommend Mark for anyone dealing with constant migraines or any form of pain.

I was truly at the end of my rope! For two years I suffered from burning mouth syndrome, which led to severe swallowing issues. I was eating nothing, drinking very little, and extremely depressed. After seeking help from several MDs who could find no clinical cause for my symptoms, a friend sold me on the idea of acupuncture. When I started my research, Marks website immediately caught my attention since he specializes in psychosomatic disorders. To say I am a new person would be putting it mildly. Not only does Mark make me feel comfortable mentally, physically, and spiritually, he has

Mark is an excellent acupuncturist and health and nutrition advisor. After many months of physical therapy for my very painful back problems with little result, I decided to try acupuncture for the first time and turned to Mark. And that has made all the difference! After following his advice on nutrition and workouts along with his treatments, I am now practically pain free! Many days of no discomfort, I am able to drive and do work again. Mark is a very capable and compassionate man. Make no mistake, if you follow his advice and treatments he WILL help you. Thank you again, Mark, I feel like
