Medical Acupuncture is the term used to describe acupuncture performed by a doctor trained and licensed in Western Medicine who has also had training in acupuncture. Dr. Moshkovski can use one or the other approach, or a combination of both as the need arises to treat an illness. The number of treatments needed differs from person to person. For complex or long-standing conditions, one or two treatments a week for several months may be recommended. For acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, and for health maintenance, four sessions a year may be all that is necessary.
People experience acupuncture needling differently.
Once the needles are in place, no pain is felt. Acupuncture needles are very thin and solid and are made from stainless steel. Moshkovski uses only disposable needles. In the past 2,000 years, more people have been successfully treated with acupuncture than with all other health modalities combined. It is now being used more and more in America by patients and physicians.
