Our Acupuncture Approach in Stony Brook, NY
At Humanity Acupuncture, we take acupuncture to the next level with AcuGraph technology — a breakthrough method that measures and visualizes your body’s energy flow. This advanced diagnostic tool allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique imbalances before they manifest as symptoms. Ideally we want your channels to be balanced, with free flowing energy or life force, in order to heal current symptoms, as well as create wellness & vitality in your body going forward.
AcuGraph technology offers a real-time visualization of your body’s energy pathways. By using this innovative system, we can identify the precise areas where energy is disrupted, allowing us to tailor our treatments with unmatched accuracy.
After measuring your 12 channels utilizing the electro-conductivity of your skin at specific acupuncture points, we will generate a bar graph which will show, using precise energy mapping, exactly where your energy is flowing well, where it is blocked or imbalanced, where there is too little, and where there is too much.
With AcuGraph acupuncture, I utilize the individualized information from your scan, and then put together a treatment plan that allows me to optimally balance your energy at at your foundational level. When these imbalances are left un-addressed they will eventually show up in your body as symptoms such as low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, tinnitus, digestive issues, anxiety etc. Symptoms are how your body gets your attention, so you begin to address them.
In addition to providing a clear picture of why your having your symptoms, AcuGraph also provides us a precise path forward so that we may begin addressing the symptoms that brought you here in the first place, and then…stay feeling great!
Unlock the power of digital meridian imaging. Our AcuGraph technology reveals your body’s energy patterns, enabling a tailored acupuncture treatment plan for optimal wellness.
WHAT THE CHART CAN SHOW US
In the sample chart (pictured below) we can see:
A GREEN bar shows normal and optimal flow of energy in the channel.
A RED bar shows excessive energy in the channel.
A BLUE bar shows where there is deficient or not enough energy in the channel.
A PURPLE bar shows when there is a blockage in the flow of energy in the channel causing an imbalance between the left and right sides.

To simplify things, the human body is a beautifully designed bio-electrical system. When there is abundant, free-flowing, unimpeded bio-electricity (what we call Qi) in the body, all tissues are nourished and there is health in the body. When there is a breakdown or blockage or deficiency of bio-electricity (qi), the body is unable to repair and rebuild damaged tissues and states of dis-ease begin to settle in. Nutrition, hydration, sleep etc all have their roles in maintaining wellness, but without the bio-electric spark of life, life ceases to exist.
Above all else, our amazing bodies are designed to seek homeostasis, time and time again bringing the body back toward harmony or states of optimal health.
Acupuncture in my perspective seeks to increase the bodies electrical supply where deficient, and remove any blockages that impede the flow of life-giving Qi, thereby allowing the body to do what it was designed to do…HEAL.

The needles used in acupuncture are much thinner than the hypodermic needles most people are used to. Much like the size of a cats whisker, or thinner. Acupuncture needles are solid, single use, and sterilized. Patients usually experience very little or no sensation upon insertion of the needle, sometimes a slight tingling, dull aching or heavy sensation is felt at the needle which is actually a good thing and means we have engaged the energetic response from the body known as ”obtaining the Qi” Most new patients are surprised how relaxing and comfortable the experience is.
In addition to needles, I also incorporate Laser acupuncture in order to address the underlying energetic imbalances that we find through advanced AcuGraph digital meridian imaging.

For acute (under 3 months) pain conditions, the recommended treatment protocol is 2 treatments per week for the first 3 weeks, followed by once a week for a couple weeks. Progressing to once every other week. At this point many patients come in once a month for a “Tune-up” Some come in as needs arise. Typically results in acute conditions can be achieved in 6-10 visits.
For chronic (over 3 months) conditions, the recommended treatment protocol is 2 treatments per week for the first 3 weeks, followed by once a week for a couple weeks. Progressing to once every other week. At this point many patients come in once a month for a “Tune-up” Some come in as needs arise. Typically results in chronic conditions can take longer, but results can often be achieved in 10-15 visits.
These are ideal guidelines. Some patients come in once a week instead of 2 times a week during the first 3 weeks. Whatever works for you. Stacking visits closer together in the beginning can often help get things moving quicker. Sometimes we get results faster than the time frames above. Many factors contribute to the healing process. Lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, hydration and self care all play a role in healing time frames.
One of the fears that potential patients have with alternative medicine is that the practitioner will try to make them dependent upon coming in for regular care. My goal is not to make you dependent on care but to assist you in reaching your wellness goals. Once we achieve those goals and your body is functioning at a higher level. YOU decide what makes sense for your personal wellness going forward. That way you are in control. As always, I am here to help.

During your first visit at Humanity Acupuncture, we will begin by discussing your intake form and your current symptoms.
Next we do a full AcuGraph energy diagnostic scan to get a clear view of how energy is currently flowing in your 12 main acupuncture channels.
You will then receive a personalized acupuncture treatment based on the findings from today’s AcuGraph scan, as well as your Intake form. I will be using a combination of traditional acupuncture as well as laser acupuncture to bring your 12 main acupuncture meridians into better balance. This is to begin addressing your underlying core energetic imbalances while also addressing your current symptoms.
