I had only gotten acupuncture once before coming here, but I've been here a handful of times now and I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. I'll describe the experience thoroughly for anyone who might be interested in trying it out but not sure what to expect! It's easiest to make an appointment over the phone, but I suppose you could walk in too! You can chose what you pay from $20-40. When you walk in, you check in and pay at the front desk and either wait in the waiting area or usually head straight back to the treatment area. There are two rooms with lots of reclining chairs, kind of set up like a dialysis clinic. You can pick a chair, make yourself comfortable, and take off your shoes and socks. There is plenty of signage all over the place so it's really easy to figure out what to do. The acupuncturist will come over when they have a free moment. They'll ask you a few questions about what is bothering you (if anything) and then place about 12-15 very thin needles at various locations on your body. You may need to roll up your sleeves and pant legs so I would wear loose clothing--you want to be comfortable anyway! After the needles are placed it's up to you how long you want to hang out. Most people stay around 45 minutes to 1 hour. A lot of people will fall asleep or shut their eyes. There's really no rules (as long as you put your phone away)! When you're all done, you can get the acupuncturist's attention and they'll take the needles out for you. Overall, the atmosphere at PCA is the perfect balance of relaxing and casual yet 100% professional. I highly recommend PCA to anyone who is interested in trying out acupuncture at an unbeatable price!

He is very knowledgeable and kind, just tone, bed side manner, etc. I am not sure if they have a sitting up option. You otherwise lay on a table that can be heated. They give you a button to call if there are any issues. The table is size friendly, I feel very secure getting on and off it. They also have a stool, can give you a blanket, and play whatever music you'd like to relax to. I've gotten both acupuncture and the cupping so far. It has helped, looking forward to seeing more benefits as I go! Parking lot is shared, but it's a big lot. On the second floor, but there is an elevator, and it's located right on mineral spring

She absolutely changed my life and empowered me to take of myself in a whole new way. Yvette treated my chronic migraines with both acupuncture and herbal prescriptions, greatly reducing my pain and frequency. She was also the only medical practitioner who could solve a months-long acid reflux episode (despite the gastroenterologist having previously told me I would have reflux for life!) The only reason I no longer see Yvette is I have moved out of Rhode Island, but I make an appointment whenever I am back in town! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was impressed from the first visit with the careful, thoughtful attention she gives to what I am saying while mentally noting what she observes from her holistic approach. Her desire for her patients to improve is quite apparent...she seems to be constantly evaluating, assessing, making adjustments in treatment to yield the best results. Another reviewer said this: "She was on an all-out mission to eradicate the source of my condition." And I can't say it better myself. Within a short time migraine frequency and duration began to lessen...which is amazing as nothing else had worked to truly lessen them since they began in 1997. And other symptoms have improved as well :) In addition to sharing her expertise in acupuncture, Yvette has great knowledge of nutrition, herbs, cycles in the body...I could go on...This has been my first experience with acupuncture and I knew nothing about it prior. I recommend Yvette all the time. I am sure there are other good acupuncturists but I never tell someone they should "try acupuncture" I tell them they should see Yvette.

Before Covid, I developed this chronic itch all over my body. It affected my sleep and my overall way of life for a few years.I did see my primary and an allergist for my condition. I was told it could be stress related and was given pills for my symptoms. I then decided to see Dr. Mags at Zara Acupuncture. I have been seeing her for over a year, and I have to say, what she does, it works! Since starting with her, my symptoms have become less and less. Now, I don't remember when my last episode was. Dr. Mags is so knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth. I continue to go to her as I find that my sessions with her helps my day-to-day stuff. Also, her practice is beautiful- such a calming space to walk into. Going to acupuncture isn't a one-and-done deal. Give it time. You will see results.

But treatment with Magdlen helped to lessen the pain on the first visit, I have heard to visit acupunturist to help with Migrianes, but never had the time to visit one, But since i was on vacation and really wanted to enjoy the last week there, i went to see Magdalen , and I am glad i did! Other than been great on what she does, She is super kind and it really nice to know that providers are not losing the bedside manner and really takes the time to listen and get to know you, NOT the only problem that i have, is that i dont live close by to see her every week :) But she made me beleive on acuputure and It's worth a try.

I'm a very active person and being practically immobile wasn't going to cut it. My midwife suggested this place and I was glad to find a location minutes from my home. I started my therapy sessions with Kayla Whiting and she made such a difference for me. She was kind and professional and really understood the pain I was having so she was able to give me a solid treatment plan. I left a few sessions sore due to stretching and exercises but icing was always recommended and helped. The day after I'd always feel so much better. After a few sessions, my pain was almost completely eliminated. I could walk without pain again. Amazing! And I never needed any pain medicine. The sessions of heat, massage, stretching, and exercises (combined with my own daily stretching exercises at home prescribed by them) made the end of my pregnancy a breeze and will most certainly help me postpartum. I am so grateful for this place because they really understood exactly what I was going through. I went from not being able to walk without limping or get out of bed to speed-walking with ease and rolling out of bed like a champ. I could even carry my laundry basket down the stairs again and clean on all fours (though my husband still does not like that I do this lol). They are professional yet personable and I worked with a few other PT's there to make scheduling appointments easier. Overall, the advice, tips, and treatment have been very successful for me. I would most certainly come here in the future if I ever need a PT again.

He had the cure, kids - him and his magic needles. For some, acupuncture is a scary thought. Not for me. I totally believe in its powers and I totally believe it got me well. Mixed with herbal supplements and plenty of rest, Acupuncture got rid of my horrible pneumonia and all the gloriousness that goes along with it. I called Dr. Mark at the hight of my illness. I sounded so horrible on the phone, the man took pity on me and scheduled a time to see me that day, which was his day off! We spent a few hours together, discussing my symptoms, what I had done prior to seeing him, and my life in general. He was calm and kind and reassuring. I was totally comfortable. He then did some cupping, which I had never done before but was quite intrigued by. It wasn't nearly as painful as I had predicted, and I loved the way the heated cups felt like they were pulling every toxin from my ailing body. Then we got to the acupuncture. Now, I will tell you in all honesty it isn't painless - there are a few areas (on my body, at least) that are very sensitive and you can feel the energy coursing through your body when he inserts those pins, man. Thankfully, he's very chatty and explains everything which is such a comfort to inquiring minds like my own. Within a few hours, I felt better. Within a few days, I felt much better. I went back a week later, we did more treatments and continued with the herbs and rest and now I am like a new woman. Acupuncture also helps with stress, insomnia and digestion. And cramps. And headaches. And just about anything. Dr. Mark is my buddy now, and I look forward to seeing him when I do... Needles and all.

Oh well. For now, I'll stick with going whenever I can. (Get it, STICK WITH, like needles??) (I'm sorry.)
