Your Journey to Foundational Health Starts Here

1

Verify your insurance and/or call 617-860-2039 to schedule your first appointment with one of our licensed providers.

2

First appointment (approximately 90 minutes): We will discuss your health concerns, explain the principles of our Eastern medicine practices, conduct a full-body diagnostic, and create a personalized acupuncture treatment plan. This will be followed by your initial session.

3

Follow-up treatments (60 minutes): We typically recommend 12 weekly sessions to address your concerns. Treatments are tailored to your specific health issues, ranging from pain management to stress relief.

4

Notice results after 2-3 treatments!* As your treatment progresses, you will experience a greater sense of well-being and reclaim your life through the power of natural acupuncture.

* Acute conditions tend to resolve more quickly than chronic issues. Chronic conditions may take longer to rebalance due to prolonged stress on the body, but with consistent treatments, you will notice significant improvements.

Testimonials

AcuBoston has changed my life in so many positive ways! I look forward to my weekly appointment with Tony, Ali, and now most recently with Kerri! All of the staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. In addition to that they are compassionate, warm, and make you feel at ease. The support staff is just as lovely. Booking appointments is seamless. I truly cannot recommend them enough.

I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for a while now and although I’m not completely healed yet, my experience with Kerri and the AcuBoston team has been amazing. I feel like I’m slowly getting back to my regular self and it’s only been possible with the support and care from them. If you’re dealing with any serious injuries or just simply struggling to get out of bed in the morning, I highly recommend booking an appointment!

This is an amazing acupuncture place. They are very kind as well as talented. At least several of them are also extremely knowledgeable about Western medicine, which has been hugely helpful in navigating a challenging health passage. Their community acupuncture program also helps to make acupuncture affordable. Interestingly, several kinds of acupuncture are practiced here, but they all seem to work together really well. If needles are an issue for you, they help with that. Do not hesitate to try this place.

Compassionate care. Kerri has been great at targeting my issues. The care I have received at AcuBoston has been able to offer relief to some longstanding and difficult problem areas. Great for treatment of neurological issues.

I have been going to Acuboston every week for almost a year, and it is the best decision I have made for my mental and physical health. Ali is a magician and always listens attentively to my weekly pain issues. I have referred at least 3 people to the practice so far and I believe they all have continued their sessions weekly!!
