Pain & injury division
Acupuncture for pain relief in Huntington, NY.
Back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, nerve pain, sports injuries, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, migraines and TMJ — treated by finding what is driving the pain, not only where it lands. Most patients come to us after imaging came back “fine.”
What we see most
Lower back pain & herniated discs
Disc herniation, stenosis, facet irritation and the old injury that flares every few months. We treat the nerve irritation and the mechanics keeping it lit.
Sciatica & nerve pain
Radiating leg pain, numbness and tingling, and peripheral neuropathy — including neuropathy after chemotherapy or with diabetes.
Neck pain, frozen shoulder & rotator cuff
Desk-work neck, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, and the headaches that travel up from the neck.
Sports & overuse injuries
Hamstring, hip, knee and ankle problems, tendonitis and bursitis, plus the return-to-training plan that stops the cycle.
Arthritis & joint pain
Knee and hip arthritis, hand and wrist pain, and flare management for people who intend to stay active.
Plantar fasciitis, migraines & TMJ
Heel pain worst on the first steps of the morning, recurring migraine patterns, and jaw pain with clenching.
The approach
Where it hurts is rarely where it starts
Find the driver
An exam that maps the mechanics, the nerve involvement, and anything systemic — inflammation, sleep, old injuries — feeding it.
Treat, then re-test in the room
Medical acupuncture and manual technique, with movement re-checked in the same visit so we can both see what changed.
Hold the gain
A short home plan: the loading, the mobility and the two or three habits keeping it going, so relief survives past the table.
Pain patients, in their own words
★★★★★I have been seeing Greg and his team for about 8 years in order to treat chronic nerve pain, disc herniation, sports injuries, and arthritis. The treatment that I receive along with the information is far superior than any other doctor’s office or acupuncturist that I have seen previously. While nobody else was able to address the root cause of my pain and discomfort, the team at East to West Wellness has improved my quality of life tremendously.

★★★★★A few years ago, I came in for a herniated disc and spinal stress reactions after being dismissed by a chiropractor and an orthopedist who said to “learn to live with the pain”. Greg was determined to treat my lower back pain by comprehensively analyzing the body as a whole rather than just my lower back. He took the time to understand me as an athlete in order to treat the cause of my pain, rather than just the symptoms.

★★★★★Greg has been treating me yearly for many years for my spinal issues — herniated discs, compressed nerves, stenosis and an old fracture. Mainstream doctors offered epidurals (didn’t work) and surgery, which I don’t want. Acupuncture does work and I get yearly tune-ups.

★★★★★I came to East to West with chronic hamstring and hip issues. In just a couple of sessions my mobility has significantly improved and my pain has gone away. He’s extremely knowledgeable and everyone in the office is very kind.

★★★★★I recently went here for my agonizing wrist pain. Within one session Greg reduced my pain immensely — I honestly could not believe the relief. The office is very zen and Greg’s candor eased my worries about getting acupuncture in the first place.

★★★★★I always walk out feeling better than when I walked in. I have been treated for arthritis and a sprain from pickleball. Previously I had sharp pain in my hip that was fully addressed in 3–4 visits.

Pain & injury questions
Does acupuncture work for sciatica?
Sciatica and disc-related nerve pain are among the most common reasons patients come to this clinic. Treatment targets the nerve irritation and the mechanics driving it. At the first visit we tell you whether we expect to help — and say so plainly if imaging or a surgical opinion is the better next step.
How many sessions does pain relief take?
It is decided at the evaluation and written into your plan, with a re-check scheduled to measure progress rather than assume it. Recent injuries usually need fewer visits than a problem you have had for years. Individual results vary.
Can I come in if I am already seeing a physical therapist or orthopedist?
Yes, and most of our pain patients are. Care here is designed to run alongside physical therapy, orthopedics and pain management, not to replace them.
Is acupuncture safe after surgery or with a herniated disc?
In most cases yes, and technique is adapted to the stage of healing. Bring your imaging report and surgical notes to the evaluation so the plan is built around them.
Do you treat neuropathy?
Yes — including peripheral neuropathy related to chemotherapy or diabetes. The evaluation establishes how much nerve function is recoverable before any course of care is planned.
Bring the imaging. Bring the story. We’ll start there.
A $100 evaluation, a straight answer about whether acupuncture is the right tool, and a written plan if it is.
