Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This traditional Chinese medicine technique helps balance energy flow, addressing chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Patients experience improved well-being through personalized sessions conducted by board-certified practitioners.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy creates localized suction to increase blood flow and release muscle tension. This treatment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation by targeting connective tissue and fascia. Patients benefit from immediate pain relief and enhanced recovery from musculoskeletal conditions through this ancient healing technique.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to specific acupuncture points, enhancing qi circulation and treating chronic conditions. This therapy addresses digestive issues, menstrual pain, and respiratory problems by stimulating energy flow. Patients receive targeted treatment for long-term health improvements through controlled thermal application.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na combines acupressure and therapeutic massage to balance energy and relieve chronic pain. This hands-on treatment addresses musculoskeletal disorders through deep tissue manipulation and meridian stimulation. Patients achieve improved mobility and reduced discomfort through customized sessions focusing on specific pressure points and body mechanics.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha uses specialized tools to scrape the skin, promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. This technique alleviates muscle tension, improves lymphatic drainage, and accelerates healing for chronic pain conditions. Patients experience immediate relief from headaches, neck pain, and respiratory issues through this traditional East Asian healing method.

Report
I am 68 years old and have been diagnosed with sciatica for years. I have been to chiropractors and have tried physical therapy numerous times. I started with MSK in September 2020. I must say within a few treatments I felt so much better. I know my sciatica will never completely go away but acupuncture has definitely relieved my pain. Min is so caring and listens to my concerns. I am so glad I found her.

I don't really write many reviews but I have to write my experience with MSK Wellcare, I decided to try acupuncture for stress and neck stiffness and it was the best experience with excellent results.

Report
I have been attending acupuncture treatments for migraines with Kara for the last 4 months. I sought acupuncture after no improvement with previous modalities of care under a neurologist. Ive experienced a decrease in migraine symptom severity and frequency with 1x week treatments. I leave treatments feeling heard with my symptoms addressed and better managed. Kara is consistently attentive, empathetic and thorough in her care. MSK Wellness has been a pleasure to work with regarding insurance and scheduling- a massive bonus to the overall healthcare experience! I am grateful to have Kara as

I’ve been seeing Min and Kara for acupuncture, moxa, cupping and acupuncture with electrodes (forget the name of it) for about 9 months now. I highly recommend them. Their office is nice and soothing, they are good listeners and very caring, they’ve helped me with back pain and injuries, arthritic hand pain, stress, immune health and general wellness. Twice I pulled my back out and they had it better very quickly with cupping and the electrodes (which don’t hurt, but put an additional stimulation to the needles.) I go there every week to get a mental health reset. One morning
