Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.

Gua Sha is a technique in which a smooth friction is applied in repeated, even strokes with a flat tool to the skin’s surface. Gua in Chinese means “to rub” or create friction. Sha is the term used to describe congestion of blood at the surface of the body. There is no pain or lasting discoloration to the skin and the procedure is completely safe. This method is used to improve circulation of blood and lymph, promote healthy metabolic processes, and removes toxins from the body. It is used to treat a variety of acute and chronic health conditions including fever, cold and flu, muscular and tendons pain, stiffness, fibromyalgia, cough, bronchitis and asthma – to name a few.

Herbal Consult & Health Testing with Sarah Aronson Lic. Acupuncturist – coming soon!
Sarah Aronson
Licensed Acupuncturist
Nationally Board Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), Sarah is licensed to practice Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine in Massachusetts and Connecticut. She is an adjunct faculty member at the New England School of Acupuncture at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy Health Sciences.
Sarah’s passion for acupuncture grew from her own positive personal experience. After suffering for years from chronic health issues and exhausting all Western medicine options, she had turned to acupuncture as a last resort. Those healing treatments gave her life again, and encouraged her to pursue a career in the field so that she could in turn help others as she was helped.
The educational opportunities presented to her while both a student and faculty member at school have provided Sarah with the tools necessary to successfully bridge the gap between the worlds of Eastern and Western medicine. Eastern medicine revolves around empowering an individual, helping them to tap into their own innate healing. This belief is reflected in Sarah’s mission to make Eastern Medicine comprehensive and available to everyone. Her primary focus is on creating a comfortable and effective treatment plan for each individual. These treatment options are tailored to the needs of the individual and can range from non-invasive techniques (without needles) to deep orthopedic acupuncture, and can include anything in between.
Sarah has an assistant available during sessions – HeBe, the hypoallergenic Havanese. His paws-itive attitude bursts from a small 10-pound body, and you can find his furry smile a tail wag away. However, if you prefer to have just Sarah, HeBe is happy to enjoy a few treats and a nap in his own room during your session.
Feel your best, inside and out.
