Boston may be a relatively small city, but it has a lot to offer: attractions, history, restaurants, shops, and…acupuncturists. Maybe it has something to do with the stress of navigating its congested streets or dealing with a MBTA delay, but the Hub has no shortage of holistic healers who are well experienced in the ancient eastern form of medicine. Here are a few reasons why Boston is a great city to find an acupuncturist for whatever ails you:

Boston Is Home to the Country’s Oldest Acupuncture School

The New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) is the oldest acupuncture program in the U.S., having opened its Watertown-based campus in 1974. As part of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the school’s educators are leading acupuncturists in their field and a new Worcester facility gives additional students hands-on training plus the opportunity to treat patients. The school offers several masters degrees in acupuncture, and its acclaimed clinic allows the public to take advantage of acupuncture treatments at reduced rates. Most graduates go on to establish their own clinic in and around the Boston area.

Acupuncture Treats A Variety of Health Conditions

Acupuncture uses hair-thin needles that are inserted along certain areas of the body to stimulate and unblock energy and encourage healing. From physical pain to insomnia, acupuncture has been recognized by the World Health Organization as an effective form of treatment for 28 diseases, symptoms, and conditions including musculoskeletal pain, morning sickness, and depression. There are an additional 55 health disorders that require further study of acupuncture’s effects on them. By the way, most people don’t find the actual insertion of the needles painful at all and even find their treatments relaxing, like visiting a spa.

Many Boston-area acupuncturists also offer holistic treatments that compliment acupuncture including the application of essential oils, burning herbs, cupping, and magnetic therapy. Your acupuncturist can develop a treatment plan and make recommendations based on your health concerns and individual needs. Some also offer nutritional counseling and other clinics focus specifically on women and expectant mothers and their needs.

Boston’s Acupuncturists Are Top Rated

Many Boston acupuncturists regularly receive five-star reviews by satisfied clients on Yelp and other online review sites for their ability to listen to clients and provide compassionate care. On the WGBH Boston Cityvoter A-List alone, there were 29 top-rated acupuncturists recommended in 2017. You’ll find a variety of practitioners that studied in the U.S. and abroad that have experience treating virtually every condition.

Accessible By Public Transportation

Whether you choose an independent practice for acupuncture or a larger clinic, changes are you’ll find plenty of choices that are easily accessible by the MBTA via subway or bus. Clinics just outside of the city usually offer plenty of free parking in a lot or on nearby streets.

As Boston continues to be at the forefront of health and wellness, the number of acupuncturists is sure to grow in the city and surrounding suburbs.
