Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine filaments at meridian points to restore energy flow and treat chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances. Our treatments address musculoskeletal issues, emotional health, and women's wellness through personalized protocols. Patients benefit from improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced natural healing processes.
Pain Management
Specialized acupuncture protocols target back pain, migraines, arthritis, and post-injury recovery. We combine traditional techniques with modern sports medicine approaches to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Patients receive home exercise recommendations to complement in-office treatments for lasting relief.
Facial Rejuvenation
This non-invasive treatment stimulates collagen production and improves muscle tone to reduce fine lines and sagging. Micro-needling techniques enhance skin texture while addressing circulation issues contributing to premature aging. Sessions promote natural radiance without surgical intervention.
Women's Health
Customized acupuncture addresses PMS, infertility, and menopausal symptoms through endocrine system regulation. Treatments improve reproductive health and alleviate hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings using evidence-based meridian stimulation techniques.
Supportive Therapy
We provide adjunctive treatments for cancer patients, immune disorders, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Acupuncture boosts energy levels, reduces treatment side effects, and strengthens the body's resilience through targeted Qi regulation techniques.

Cindy is simply AMAZING! You will be hard pressed to find a more skilled acupuncturist or a healthcare provider more committed to your over all well-being! Cindy has successfully relieved me of issues with everything from total body arthritic joint pain, chronic insomnia, down to the common cold. I highly recommend her!

I am an athletic thirty-three year old woman, recovering from a debilitating injury that occurred seventeen years ago. Since my injury, I've been to dozens of acupuncturists-in Boulder, Colorado, Northampton, Massachusetts, London, and New York City. Most recently, I started seeing Cindy E. Levitz, L.Ac., here, in the city. My initial visit to Cindy was a gift from my husband. I hadn't sought her out and I knew nothing about her.
So when I went to my appointment, I had no expectations or preconceived ideas. However, from my past experience, I knew what to look for. How was Cindy's bedside-manner? Soothing.trustworthy. How was her needling technique? Flawless: gentle and confident. With the needles in place, I drifted off into that warm, soupy acupuncture lala land that-to me-is a telltale sign of good work. But what surprised me was that, at the end of the treatment, after removing all of the needles, Cindy gave me a brief neck and shoulder massage that brought me back into my body, leaving me aware of how great I felt and aware to the outside world, as well. Her treatment prepared me to fully feel and appreciate the rest of my busy day.

Acupuncture was the last treatment I had in mind for my shoulder and neck work related injuries. I had tried months of Physical Therapy, and Cortisone treatments offered by my Orthopedist- to no avail. A trusted client/friend suggested I try Acupuncture and Cindy Levitz her practitioner. Cindy has worked a small miracle with my neck and shoulder, as I am now pain free. I have come to understand alternative medical treatments as a lifestyle choice, and I'm thankful everyday for Cindy's professional guidance and passionate expertise.

Cindy has helped me deal with a wide range of disparate issues, from stress to simple broken bones to major post surgical rehabs. Most recently, she has been assisting me through rotator cuff issues. My physical therapist at HSS was wowed by the degree of additional flexibility and muscle relaxation apparent in my shoulder and neck when I had an appointment with her two days after Cindy treated me. Cindy is a truly caring and knowledgeable healer.

I've been seeing Cindy for years and it has been truly amazing. From back pain, to anxiety, to the common cold, Cindy's acupuncture heals and helps bring balance back into my body and mind. She truly listens to her patients and helps in whatever way possible.

Cindy has really helped me keep chronic neck pain in check. I sometimes lose my voice when I have a cold and she's helped me get my voice back in time for some very important presentations (and the colds leave quickly, too). Just a few months ago, I had shingles and she was a key component in my healing in a very short time. Whatever the problem, Cindy is a healer.

I have been going for acupuncture for years as part of my own health plan. I find myself relaxed and very comfortable in her room- if I feel I am coming down with a cold or not feeling right, a trip to see Cindy always makes me feel better! My back experiences pain from time to time and within a visit or two of treatment I feel the positive results of Cindy's work.
