Acupuncture
has been proven to treat many physical
conditions along with conventional care.
Affordable acupuncture services are
available through Winchester Hospital in
conjunction with the New England School of
Acupuncture.
Students of the New England School of
Acupuncture graduate with a Masters of
Acupuncture degree after completion of the
three-year program. During the third year of
study, students work as interns to complete
a year of clinical training under the
supervision of licensed acupuncturists.
Winchester Hospital offers services of these
interns at two locations in Wilmington and
Woburn.
Acupuncture is often effective in
treating arthritis, asthma, back pain,
headaches, migraines, high blood pressure,
fertility problems, chronic fatigue,
pregnancy induced nausea, dizziness,
allergies, skin disorders, anxiety,
depression, insomnia and stress. The
acupuncture needles, which stay in the body
for 20 to 30 minutes, are not painful.
Appointments are available on Saturdays
from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Winchester
Hospital's Family Medical Center, 500 Salem
St., Route 62 in Wilmington and the
Community Health Institute at Baldwin Park
I, 12 Alfred St. in Woburn. The fee for
acupuncture treatments is $25. For more
