⚠️

While acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) for its effectiveness in certain conditions (especially pain management), not all uses are supported by strong scientific evidence. It’s best used as complementary therapy rather than a replacement for conventional medical care.

“I was so lost with Long Covid when I first started working with Dr. Arkadiy. I was also his first Long Covid patient.

Fortunately, he’s an outstanding problem solver.
His unique skillset helped put me back together better than ever, even while Long Covid was still an unknown condition.”
