Having evolved over thousands of years, from Asia to North America, acupuncture is one of the oldest continually practiced medical treatment methods in the world. Peter Dubitsky has been providing quality acupuncture care in the Mid-Hudson Valley since 1991, and specializes in the treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions.
In 2015 he joined a dedicated multi-disciplinary team of health care providers at the Izlind Integrative Wellness Center, in Rhinebeck NY, where he provides acupuncture and teaches Tai Chi.

It is also referred to as "dry needling". Trigger points are located in soft-tissue, primarily in bands of tightened muscle fibers.
Electro-acupuncture is the use of an FDA approved electrical device to provide a continuous, gentle stimulation to specific acupuncture needles.

Joyful’ just begins to describe how it feels to have a forty-year chronic illness/disability clearing within a matter of weeks. Astonished fits as well. I was diagnosed with “permanent central nervous system damage” in 1981 after gas and pesticide exposures. Western medicine wasn’t able to help and I learned to compensate enough that the illness became a disability, but a serious one. I recently started acupuncture with Peter Dubitsky on an unrelated issue, and low and behold, all roads led to my central nervous system. In the handful of sessions so far the remarkable improvement has
