Tree of Life Acupuncture

Acupuncture is amazing! I love anything related to natural health. Mark is knowledgable and very passionate. His passion and positive energy to what he does, is what keeps me coming back. I just tell him what is bothering me or what my concerns are, and he knows what to do, to help me. I was in a car accident in November and have been coming to Mark to recover, and I can tell anyone, that I feel more than 100% better. The results are surprisingly impressive. Thank you, Mark!

I tried acupuncture for the first time with some reluctance. I have a chronic «Tennis elbow». The pain in my forearm was severe. I had a series of cortisone shots and went to see an occupational therapist. I had several session with Mark and already noted that it is easier for me to perform my work out and it does not hurt as much at night. I am greatful.
I also must say that the whole atmosphere of his practice is very professional, pleasant and relaxing.

I’ve just finished a series of acupuncture and Rife sessions (7 in my case) at Tree of Life Acupuncture. I’m no newbie to acupuncture, so I can freely tell you Mark Moshchinsky is the best acupuncture therapist I’ve been to. Mark has a warm, caring, humble personality, and he is gifted in his profession.
My main symptom when I arrived was my stiff, painful right shoulder; this condition brought on by a bout of shingles along my nerves around my shoulder/​neck/​head (the sores never showed, but blood tests have proven that’s what it was). I’d had the shoulder pain for a couple of years, but I wasn’t sure where to go for help. As I mentioned, I’d been to acupuncturists before, for different symptoms, and while many were helpful there wasn’t one I thought would be the right one to return to.
So, I looked up local acupuncturists, and read the Tree of Life reviews here on Unilocal.
Well, I lost the pain. Gone. My shoulder is good as new. Was it just the acupuncture or that combined with Rife? (Rife is a treatment that may shatter bacteria, viruses, parasites and such through specific vibrations. This is my description, not Mark’s. But you can look up Rife treatment on line to learn more.) I cannot even describe to you what the shoulder pain was like, since it’s completely gone.
Start today, you might be feeling much better next week!

I tried out Tree of Life after going to several other Acupuncture places in Manhattan — on the Upper East side as well as around Union Square. I was thoroughly impressed by the persona; attention and detail that Mark gives every patient. He takes his time to talk to the patient and understand your concerns and tried out various different approaches (focusing on the uterus versus lower back and kidneys) to see which technique has a more relaxing effect on me. I was going to him for fertility issues I had. and after 6 – 8 months of trying acupuncture with other well known Manhattan Acupuncturists I was relieved to see that I got pregnant naturally after 6 – 8 sessions with Mark at Tree of Life. While the office is not the fanciest of places (compared to some others I went to) it is clean and comfortable and I felt safe. Also loved the fact that they accept most health insurance policies!

I believe that Dr. Mark Moshchinsky has a wonderful gift of healing and acupuncture.
It was my first venture into acupuncture and I’ve got so lucky!
I was suffering from terrible chronic Trigeminal Neuralgia pain!
But after my first treatment I felt complete relief from sever constant pain and after second time my pain was gone already!
Mark is the best acupuncturist I’ve seen, and is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I can’t thank Mark enough for really changing my life.
I would highly recommend Dr. Mark Moshchinsky to anyone looking for the acupuncturist.

I visited Tree of Life Acupuncture about 4 years ago when I was experiencing severe migraines. Mark was able to cure my migraines and any other pains that I had over the years. Specifically, Mark was able to focus on insomnia, muscle tension and facial acupuncture and was able to provide a major relief. I highly recommend acupuncture to patients are have tried western medicine and has not experienced any positive results.

I came back from the Army last summer (2012); in which my body took a beating from the wear and tear in mountainous regions in Afghanistan, to include PTSD. Then I got into a car accident and my knees got worse along with my lower back after the car accident. Instead of looking for medicine to bandage the real problem, I found this Acupuncture location to take care of my body (Knees and lower back) but it also helped with my PTSD. Every time I come back from a treatment for my accident’s injury, I feel a lot better and almost a notch up to a better recovery in comparison to physical therapy or body numbing medicine. I give «Tree of Life Acupuncture» 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this location to Veterans and anyone looking for a natural yet powerful solution.

I recently injured my lower back doing martial arts. This was as bad as back injuries go, I couldn’t bend down to tie my shoes. I have done PT in the past for various injuries, and knew that it’s highly ineffective and time consuming. So I went to Tree of Life for Acupuncture. Mark is a miracle worker. I felt better after the first visit. After 3 visits, my back was 90% back to normal. I couldn’t believe it. I was snowboarding 7 days after my back injury and back to martial arts and sparing a week after that. I couldn’t recommend tree of life enough.

I’ve been suffering from severe spring allergies for a few years now. I came to Tree of Life as a last resort, since ‘regular’ doctors haven’t been able to help.
When I met Mark, I was one week into my allergies, and had developed a weird lump on my throat (most likely due to irritation from the post nasal drip). It hurt to swallow, and I also had sinus pressure, a headache, and body/​back aches in general. In short, I was a huge mess! Since I had so many problems, Mark asked me what my 3 worst symptoms were, and concentrated on those first…
Miraculously, around 15mins into my first treatment, my throat (#1 problem) suddenly felt better! I also began breathing through my nose again, and my headache subsided.
In the span of 2 weeks, I ended up going to Mark 3 times. With each visit, we concentrated on a specific problem. The lump on my throat totally cleared up by the end, and while I still have mild allergies (occasional sneezing and runny nose), my back/​neck pain and headaches have definitely gone away. So although my symptoms didn’t go away 100%, I’m happy to say that Mark did way more than any regular doctor has!
Price-​wise, it was more $$ than I wanted to pay. But at the same time, I probably would’ve given my life savings to stop feeling so miserable.
Overall, I’m a very happy customer and would come back if I ever needed to.

I rarely write reviews, but feel compelled to share my experience thus far with Mark of Tree of Life Acupuncture.
I have been receiving weekly acupuncture treatments for about a month and a half and the benefits have been remarkable — way above and beyond what I originally hoped for. I initially went for severe lower back pain. I was a little nervous, but Mark is so easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor, which set me right at ease. We agreed on the things I would like to focus on in terms of healing (primarily back pain), and he started treatment. Mark only inserted three needles and immediately, I noticed a warm sensation on my lower back, as though someone had placed a warm hand or heating pad on it. And from that first session on, my back pain began to fade.
But not only did my back improve, I also felt better, mentally/​emotionally. Happier, lighter, a general sense of well being that wasn’t there before. I am continuing treatments for maintenance and really look forward to each visit. The receptionist is always friendly and the music they pipe into the room is soothing as well. So glad I found this place!!! A true gem!

I went to tree of life in a lot of pain. I had a knee injury from running and it had kept me in bed and suffering for weeks. The doctor’s had said that I had tendonitis and just to stay off it and take painkillers, which wasn’t helping my condition. I had never tried acupuncture before but I was amazed by the results — after my first session I experienced such huge relief that I could walk home, something I was unable to do before. I can only say good things about Mark and what he does; he has a relaxed and patient style and put me at ease throughout the process. He also prescribed Chinese herbs to help my condition and I have made a steady recovery now after four visits.
