Big Apple Acupuncture

Miguel is awesome. Very professional, very knowledgeable, and very personable. If you are a first-​timer like I was, I highly recommend him. He thoroughly explains what he is doing, and makes sure you are comfortable with the procedure. Also gives great life advice if you ask him, and I look forward to my next session.

I tried acupuncture this weekend for the first time and I am hooked! Miguel is absolutely wonderful and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. I struggle with a serious fear of needles and I experienced little to no anxiety due to his thorough explanations and question answer period prior to the treatment. I also had some cupping done for the first time and was happy with that procedure. I did have to adjust my wardrobe that evening so people didn’t see the marks on my back which was no big deal (just letting all my fellow girls know who love a backless dress lol).
For the first treatment, we did two sections of my back so I could get comfortable with the needles and feeling in my muscles. I was sore for the first 36 hours and then the pain subsided and started to go away. My session was on Saturday morning and today (Monday), I feel a significant difference for the better. Will definitely be back many many times, I cannot wait to reduce more muscle tension!
PS — The place is spotless and in a very nice location. Can’t beat it!

Bottom line: Miguel Maya is the real deal. Read on:
I recently incurred a stress fracture in the third metatarsal on my right foot due to an aggressive training regimen for an upcoming half marathon (that’s 50+ miles per week on a treadmill at an incline in minimalist footwear, or the sort of routine that would have even a more avid athlete running for the hills, pun intended). Following reviews of X-​rays and an MRI, I was confined to a medical boot and my podiatrist claimed it would take 3 – 4 weeks to fully heal.
After merely a week in the care of Miguel Maya, I was no longer limping or in extreme pain and my podiatrist confirmed I was «beyond the clinical curve» in terms of healing time. Three weeks later, I laced up my running shoes and embarked on my first six miles since the diagnosis which felt pretty damn good.
Even better, though, is that Miguel enabled my expedient recovery in a totally natural manner. With his oversight, I traded Chinese herbs and a far greater quality of care for over-​the-​counter medication and the occasional X-​ray to confirm I was on track. Further, he’s suggested a few books on meditation to help alleviate stress and has begun to resolve other ailments other doctors have failed to adequately address. To say he cares about engaging with and truly healing his patients would be a major understatement.
So yes, I’ve told all my friends, my family – and now – I’m telling you. Check him out. If you do, I can actually promise you’ll get well soon.
