Marc Bystock - Holistic Acupuncture in Manhattan NYC

Acupuncture is defined in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as the ability to shift qi (energy) and blood throughout the body to achieve a stable equilibrium or homeostasis. Acupuncture needles are typically very tiny and painless when inserted. They are put in particular areas known as acupoints along meridians or energy highways. The positioning of the needles opens the closed qi circuits, much like substations on an electrical grid.

Holistic Care Philosophy and Acupuncture Training

In 1996, I graduated from Boston, Massachusetts' famous New England School of Acupuncture. It is the country's first and only acupuncture school. I studied both Japanese and traditional Chinese acupuncture techniques there. I've learned to make the best out of each of these distinct approaches and mix them. A greater and deeper needle stimulation is required in Chinese acupuncture. While Japanese acupuncture relies on a more delicate needling method with extremely shallow needle insertion and considerably more palpation.

With over 23 years of clinical expertise and a plethora of natural health information to offer, I founded this practice with the following fundamental purpose in mind:

• Do not do any harm!

• I always try my utmost to assist my patients in resolving their health concerns.

• Educate patients on the need for preventative health care.

• Always maintain a professional, compassionate, and pleasant demeanor.

• Make the patient's surroundings safe and healing.

The majority of Western medicine is founded on reductionism. That is the emphasis of a single portion without regard for its link to the total. Being holistic means seeing everyone with an understanding that we are complex human beings made up of numerous interrelated and interdependent operating systems. I specialize in comprehending the human mind-body-spirit link, and our patients are treated accordingly. I collaborate with my patients to establish a trustworthy connection.
