North Shore Acupuncture & Wellness
Abigail Andrews
10 Prince Place Suite 101
Newburyport, MA
978-494-6998 | Website 

Abigail Andrews, licensed acupuncturist, is excited to now offer her services to the Greater Newburyport region. After working in Boston specializing in Stress & Pain Management and Sports Medicine, Abigail is opening North Shore Acupuncture & Wellness in downtown Newburyport. Whether you're recovering from an acute injury or suffering with chronic pain, consider acupuncture as a compliment or alternative to your current pain management strategy.
 
Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine, an entire medical system that has been used to treat a wide range of conditions and symptoms. From anxiety, to insomnia, to digestive complaints; acupuncture can help. Curious if acupuncture might benefit you? Don't hesitate to call or schedule a complimentary consultation. Better yet, take advantage of an introductory package of 3 treatments for $150.
 
North Shore Acupuncture & Wellness is striving to remain accessible to those who need care:
  • Ask us about reduced rates for students, senior citizens, and military/service members.
  • Use your FSA and HSA accounts for your acupuncture treatments.
  • Check out www.northshoreacu.com  to see if your insurance plan covers acupuncture services.
If you would like to be featured in our "Meet the Member" section, please email Anne Wilt.   FREE... but must be scheduled in advance.
