Holistic Acupuncture NYC by Marc Bystock L.Ac.

Chances are, you will want to learn more about your exact pain treatment or illness, which can do by using the navigation at the top of any page on the website. This section divides my healing methodology and treatment modalities into four sections where you can learn more about each area of my practice.

• Eye Degeneration - The loss of all or even part of your visual field could mean enormous changes to your life. Don't let vision loss, depression, anger, and uncertainty become the new norm. I specialize in treating conditions of the eye using Traditional Chinese Medical Ophthalmology (TCM). Acupuncture and naturopathic techniques have been successfully used to treat a variety of eye conditions for over two thousand years.

• Pain Relief - Acupuncture has been used to lower pain for thousands of years. The traditional theory of acupuncture is that it moves both qi (energy) and blood. Pain occurs when qi and blood become stagnant. The insertion of thin acupuncture needles into specific body points moves the energy and blood again. Neuro-functional acupuncture is a specialized technique that I have been trained in. Neuro-functional acupuncture targets regular acupuncture points that overlap with trigger points and nerve motor points. Electrical stimulation of these areas produce neurotransmitters, endorphins, enkephalins, and endocannabinoids to lower pain and perfuse blood.

• Holistic Health - Holistic health is my focus; it’s everything that I do. Being a holistic practitioner means to view the patient from a whole perspective. It’s critical to understand how each system of the human body functions independently and then to know how the systems integrate.

• Functional Nutrition - I consider nutrition to be a foundational therapy for every patient that I treat. Not long ago, our digestive system was considered to be a simple process of breaking down food, absorption, and excretion. It is now understood to be a very complex system. Research shows that the gut contains over 70% of the body’s immune system, and it maintains a strong link to the brain, mind, and mood.

• Cosmetic Acupuncture - Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture or acupuncture facelift, is a natural and non-invasive treatment that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the face to promote skin health and improve facial appearance. This technique aims to stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Cosmetic acupuncture is believed to enhance skin tone, texture, and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
