At Silver Leaf Acupuncture, I provide expert care to relieve your pain and stress, improve your sleep and digestion, and optimize reproductive health. My office is located in Southborough, MA and I serve the Metrowest community. I turned to acupuncture to find relief from my back pain. After my own personal experience with acupuncture I knew it was the career I wanted to pursue in order to share its healing nature with my community.
Acupuncture is a 2,000-year-old form of complementary medicine that uses thin, sterile needles to promote health, relieve pain, and reduce stress and inflammation. I offers daytime and evening appointments, and am an in-network provider for several insurance companies.

I was inspired to become a licensed acupuncturist after acupuncture made a real difference in my own life. I have been in your shoes-curious if acupuncture could help me. It can be intimidating to try something new! Whatever your feelings about acupuncture, I will listen to you, answer your questions, and offer a carefully tailored treatment plan.
Silver Leaf Acupuncture is a modern wellness practice located in Southborough, Massachusetts. I have a holistic approach to treating pain, digestive issues, women's health, stress and other concerns. I serve patients across Metrowest and Central Mass, including the towns of Southborough, Northborough, Westborough, Marlborough, Framingham, Hopkinton, Ashland, Shrewsbury, Worcester, and beyond.
This is a question I get from nearly every new patient. The needles used in acupuncture are very fine, nothing like the one you might have encountered getting your flu shot! Insertion of the needles is usually painless. After each insertion, you may feel a dull throb or a tingle, which is normal and not cause for concern.
Fertility is still a relatively young area of research when it comes to Western medicine, but it has been treated by Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years. Acupuncture can be effective as either an alternative to other medical interventions or as a complement to other types of treatment, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.
Cupping is a technique that utilizes sterilized glass or plastic cups to relieve a variety of ailments. First the cups are placed against the skin. Next, a partial vacuum is created in the cups using a special suction pump. The technique draws blood to the surface of the skin and into the connective tissue, or fascia.

Margo is amazing. I previously tried acupuncture elsewhere & I had so much trouble relaxing & not freaking out (because needles), but then I started seeing Margo. She’s great at calming you & making sure you’re comfortable through the entire experience. She’s been an essential part of my recovery while I train for ultra marathons, recover from cancer treatment, & recover from injuries.

Margo is fantastic to work with in so many ways. She's knowledgeable, and holds a comfortable, warming space while working with clients. Acupuncture with Margo helped me get through a nasty insomnia marathon, and I keep coming back to work with her through injuries, and digestion. I can't recommend her enough. The space is kept incredibly clean with friendly reminders next to hand sanitizer to use before touching the bed, the chair, etc.

I went for my first ever acupuncture treatment yesterday.
Everything about Silver Leaf inspired quiet, calm, confidence.
From the minimal, contemporary office to Margot’s professional, informative, demeanor and introductory explanation, I felt comfortable and at ease.
The process itself –performed in a comparably simple but elegant consulting room- was completely painless and low key.
I was left to relax and let the needles ‘do their thing’ for fifteen or so minutes, then Margot removed them and I was on my way.
How did I feel? As she suggested, relaxed and somewhat energized: a subtle

I was skeptical about acupuncture as a registered nurse. When I did my research I found that it is the complimentary alternative therapy with the most clinical research on its effectiveness. In addition to the research, I can attest with personal experience that it has helped relieve my musculoskeletal pain and stress level after multiple sessions. I recently went in with fluid in my ear from allergies and the relief was instant. I have been using prescribed medication to drain the ear for 3 weeks only to have partial relief. I highly recommend Silver Leaf Acupuncture and I hope it helps you as

Margo has been helping me with everything from stress and anxiety from work to tight/sore muscles from running and most recently getting from a severe case of jet-lag (40+ hrs of flying from Indonesia). She and her practice are warm and inviting, kind and caring, and professional. I have NO problem relaxing while being treated and always feel safe and comfortable throughout the treatment. I drive all the way from South Boston because she is THAT GREAT!

I have been to Silver Leaf 3 times and each time gets better. The experience is very soothing and helpful. My complaints have been addressed and are starting to go away. I went to acupuncture in the past loved it, I am back to going and Silver Leaf is a great place! I would highly recommend Silver Leaf!

Extremely professional, Silver Leaf Acupuncture makes every effort to help you feel better, be it stress, pains or stiffness. Personally, Margo has helped in with my recovery for both stress and most recently after I tore my hamstring muscle not long ago. I felt better and better after each and every session.
Margo has also helped my family members with back stiffness and stress relief. Overall I highly recommend anyone interested in trying acupuncture or a veteran of the healing ways of acupuncture to visit Silver Leaf Acupuncture!

Margo is extremely knowledgeable, calming and talented. She helped me relax during my pregnancy and worked to reduce swelling in my legs. When I approached my due date, Margo did specific pressure points to help me prepare for the labor ahead- that weekend we welcomed our baby!
Margo is our go to acupuncturist, whom we trust and look forward to seeing!
