Acupuncture is a treatment method based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The practitioner inserts very thin needles in specific points (Acu-points) along energy pathways (meridians). The stimulation of these points helps to adjust and balance the flow of energy and restore health. Electro-Acupuncture aims to stimulate the body's healing processes by sending electrical impulses through the channels, muscles, and nerves.
Electro-Acupuncture works to stimulate the body's healing processes by sending electrical impulses through the channels, muscles, and nerves. Electro-Acupuncture is commonly associated with pain management, as it promotes the release of neurotransmitters such as beta-endorphin, a natural analgesic (pain reducer).
Cosmetic acupuncture, sometimes dubbed the acupuncture facelift, is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It helps you attain beauty from the inside out. While cosmetic acupuncture is marketed as new, it first appeared in the Huangdi Neijing, a book written over 2,000 years ago. This ancient Chinese medical text references how treating your internal organs and meridians can influence your appearance.
Herbal treatment is an integrative part of Chinese Medicine and together with acupuncture has been used in the treatment of acute and chronic disorders. Generally, for acute conditions, e.g., viral infection, Chinese herbs should be taken every day 3-6 times per day until the condition resolves. For chronic conditions, herbs are most effective when they are taken daily 2-3 times per day for a longer duration.
We are excited to offer comprehensive care for patients with lymphedema. At Avicenna Lymphedema Care, we provide lymphedema prevention education, lymphedema screening, and lymphedema treatment. Toward the end of your treatment course, we will recommend and measure you for adequate garment solutions.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist for over twenty years and a Bodyworker, I am very selective about who I turn to for Acupuncture. Igor is extremely knowledgeable and is one of the most respected Acupuncturists in this field. I value the ability to come to Igor for my treatments and I am confident in sending my clients to Igor as well.

Petra & Igor at Avicenna were instrumental in my recovery from a major cycling accident. See details below for my story:
While mountain biking; I sustained a severe hematoma on my leg (among other injuries). The injury required a MRI because doctors were afraid I tore my quadriceps muscles. The MRI came back negative but the amount of blood pooled in my leg raised much concern for blood clotting and Compartment Syndrome. Doctors also indicated I may have limited movement in my leg for the rest of my life. Rather than the traditional RICE method; I chose to utilize a combined recovery approach

I drive my sister to her appointments with Petra for cancer treatment-related lymphedema. Before each appointment I watch her struggle to get in the car. After each massage she comes out with a smile of relief and lightness in her movements. Petra is knowledgeable, experienced, calming and has a wonderfully healing touch. Unlike many practitioners, she took the time and patience to educate us in technique we could use for home massage to complement her work. Thank-you for your care, Petra! I enthusiastically recommend you, and you and Igor are the first ( and only) practitioners on my list when

I am an avid runner and pulled my hamstring. I had an upcoming race and after months of ibuprofen and massages and no relief, I needed help quickly; two weeks prior to my race, I called multiple acupuncture places and Igor at Avicenna was the only one that called me back, and got me in the next day. After 3 treatments, my hamstring felt better than it had in months and I was able to run my half marathon. I am a full believer in acupuncture and I continue to see Igor for maintenance, as my running will not end. They are super friendly and very knowledgeable! I strongly suggest going to Avicenna

I was referred to Igor at Avicenna by a close friend. I work in the fitness industry full time, and have sought treatment once a week for about two months. In this time, Igor’s use of acupuncture, cupping, and traditional Chinese medicine have helped treat nagging injuries and elevated my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Furthermore, Igor exudes a genuine kind and caring energy that makes our sessions a highlight of my week. Igor provides a highly sophisticated, yet approachable treatment for a variety of needs. I am incredibly grateful for the reference to Avicenna, and will continue

Igor is truly an exceptional person. My first trip to Avicenna Acupuncture was all I needed to know I was in the right place. Igor is professional, caring, focused and helpful. He listens to how you are and what is going on in your life and with your body. He is well informed both about Western Medicine and about acupuncture. He has been the foundation of my ability to decrease the dose of an addictive prescription drug that I have been trying for years to get off of. The acupuncture Igor does makes it possible for me to decrease the dose, stay at that level and then decrease it some more after
