Some of the conditions we treat are back pain, neck pain, joint pain, arthritis, Fibroymyalgia, Lyme Disease, and much more!

Dr. Sara Ryan has specialized in working with fertility patients for 18 years and has found this to be one off the most awarding aspects of her clinic. She works with people who are trying to conceive naturally as well as those who are going through IVF, IUI, frozen embryo transfer cycles (FET) or clomid cycles.
Acupuncture is a safe, effective and natural alternative therapy that is used to heal illnesses, prevent disease and improve well being. Here in the West, unfortunately, acupuncture is often used as a last resort, when the ailment has already hit. In the East, it is considered preventative therapy as well as a remedy to ailments.
Dr. Ryan performs "dry needling" at Acupuncture RI as indicated for her patients. However, she is cautious at implementing this procedure as she does not feel that it is applicable in all cases. It is a fairly aggressive acupuncture approach that warrants caution, so she approaches and utilizes dry-needling on a case-by-case basis.
More and more plans are covering acupuncture, but it is important to check if your plan covers it before coming in! To find out if you have acupuncture coverage, you may ask us to call your insurance company for you or you may call the phone number on the back of your card. Dr Ryan will also work with her patients to submit for out-of-network reimbursement from other health insurance plans.

Dr Ryan is by far the best acupuncturist I have ever had, she is approachable, a great listener and incredibly knowledgable. She made me feel comfortable from the very first minute I walked into her office. The cozy and peaceful atmosphere really allows me to relax. She is always helpful with and is genuinely concerned about healing me. I always feel better after my treatments and the time between treatment is becoming longer and longer which means her therapies are working.

I've been going to Sara for over a year now. I am a survivor from Cushing's disease and my body still reeks havoc from the damage that was done. From day one Sara sat down with me, listened and took notes trying to help me alleviate my pain throughout my whole body. She's been very helpful to get me back on track - I can now go to work full time and fulfill my duties there without any complications. I'm so thankful I have found Sara and her knowledge of Chinese medicine.

I am doctor trained in alternative medicine. As a medical professional, I was very comfortable with her way of treatments. I went her clinic almost every week to every two weeks when I was doing Masters of Public Health, and she served me like as my primary care physician.
She is kind and open to any kind of conversation, so I was able to discuss my pain, numbness, insomnia, stress, fibroid uterus, nasal polyp, eye strain, etc - all holistic health problems. Also she counsels also for my life situations- so that I was able to discuss my problems around me, like mice in the house, loss of place

Like Cyan L., I was a client of Dr. Ryan for many years -- nearly a decade, in fact. I would still be seeing her had I not moved across the country! She is a warm and knowledgable acupuncturist and herbalist, and particular well-versed in chronic illnesses. Not all acupuncturists have the patience and understanding to treat diseases beyond the day-to-day symptoms that crop up, while Dr. Ryan is gifted at treating the whole person, not just the ache du jour. I think this makes her a particularly worthy companion on the journey to better health.

Finding an acupuncturist is a very personalized task. I did not particularly care for Sara Ryan, but that doesn't mean that you won't love her. I found her to be rather judgemental about my situation and a bit pushy about lifestyle changes that she thought I should make. Additionally, i found her bedside manner to be a bit unprofessional (slouching in the chair with slippers on and walking in and out of the room when meeting me for the first time). However, her 'clinic' office is clean and inviting, and she was very willing to work with insurance.

Dr. Ryan has helped both my mom and myself in feeling better. She is very nice and pleasant and has awesome bedside manners, she is very smart and helpful and explains everything and she spends time with you to get to know you and the types of ailments that you have in order to better assist you. She has helped us a lot and I continue to see her.

I have been to numerous acupuncturists over the years, and Dr. Sara Ryan is definitely one of the best! I went to Sara with multiple complaints during pregnancy, and she has effectively treated each complaint. She is so sweet, and always takes plenty of time to talk to me. I never feel rushed and feel as though she genuinely cares about my well-being. I am also new to Providence and Sara has been wonderful making different suggestions for things to do around the city. She is incredibly professional and is flexible with her schedule to always make sure I have an appointment time that works for
