What do you get when you combine a powerful ancient healing technique with leading edge medical science? Precise solutions for every malady-from complex internal dysfunctions to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Such are the hybrid capabilities of NYC acupuncturist Ryan Smith. As with all acupuncturists, they approach healing holistically, viewing pain and discomfort not as problems in and of themselves-but as symptoms of an imbalanced qi.
Yet not all acupuncture is created equally. Ryan's East-meets-West training, broad seasoning, and natural intuition make them unusually effective. Diagnose your entire condition, rather than presuming that your known symptoms tell the "whole story." This gets to the root of your malady-not just the surface.

Here at 5 Point Acupuncture, we give all new patients a 75-90 minute diagnostic evaluation. The sheer thoroughness of this session is a potent benefit to you.

When Ryan was little, his Nana (great grandmother) had a stroke, and moved in with his family as she recovered. Back then, he became curious about the body. He wondered how it malfunctions, and how it gets back to health. In his 20s, Ryan was an endurance athlete. He thought a lot about fueling with food, banking rest and sleep, and training in a performance-maximizing way.
Is acupuncture safe for children? Absolutely. Children may even respond faster to treatment compared to adults. For children afraid of needles, the acupuncture points may be messaged-a technique called acupressure. Does acupuncture hurt? How does it feel? The needles used in acupuncture are extremely thin-about the width of a human hair, or less.
A cancer diagnosis brings a witch's brew of aftereffects caused by chemotherapy, radiation and surgery: pain, anxiety, fatigue, nausea, insomnia, diarrhea or constipation, and shortness of breath. At 5 Point Acupuncture, our cancer patients experience documented relief from their worst symptoms and side effects.
