Adolescents / Teenagers (14 to 19) Acupuncturists in Connecticut

I feel grateful to have found a career that I am passionate about and medicine a truly believe in. I received my bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University in Boston MA and my Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine From the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale FL in 2007. I use tongue and pulse diagnosis as well as a complete medical intake during the first consultation to get to the root cause of the illness.

When my patients walk out of my clinic healthier and happier, it feels extremely rewarding. I feel fortunate to serve my community and educate and help my patients with the healing benefits of Acupuncture and Herbs. I am a NCCAOM certified and licensed acupuncturist and hold a Ph.D. in Oriental Medicine. Please visit www.EZacupuncture.com for more information about our services.

I assist patients in the process of discovering realistic approaches to their health which will help them to manifest the life they desire. Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tuina, and many other modalities may be utilized to help patients let go of physical symptoms-- both acute and chronic-- while establishing a stronger, happier, and more centered sense of self.

With experience learning in environments such as teaching hospitals in China, to the VA Hospital in New Haven, my education is steeped with both tradition and innovation. As an avid yoga practitioner and teacher, I have experienced first-hand how important the connection between body and mind can be. Acupuncture aids this connection in order to help your body better heal itself with minimally invasive techniques or side effects.

There is an alternative! I believe most people are capable of adding more years to their life, and more life to their years if only given the proper information, treatment, guidance, and attention. It is our multi-disciplinary approach and individualized protocols that help us get results that often no one else can. Genetics may set the stage, but lifestyle will often write the script for our health. The goal is to continually improvise our script to promote better health. Come in, and together we will create a high-quality, affordable, health care protocol, that will change your life.

Dr. Peter Zilahy has been practicing complementary medicine for the past 30 years. He has an extensive knowledge in functional neurology and medicine along with acupuncture and clinical nutrition. Dr. Zilahy prides himself in being “ahead of the curve” when it comes to natural methods. For example, in the early eighties he was advising patients to stay away from transfatty acids and lowering cholesterol when a cholesterol reading of 300 was normal. In 1989 he was one of the first practioners in the state to implement an exercise center for spinal conditions when the standard of care was bedrest.

Shunyu has been practicing acupuncture and therapeutic massage for more than 20 years. Natural Therapy with Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Qigong and Therapeutic Massage for all chronic conditions. Heal the problem, not just stop pain. No side effect. 7 visits for one treatment course to have significant efficiency for the therapy of long-term conditions. Only 3 visits can work well on the acute conditions.

Almost any condition can be successfully treated with acupuncture because the goal is to correct the imbalances that are the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. I find acupuncture is particularly beneficial for those with any type of pain: headaches, back pain, muscle, joint and nerve pain. It is also helpful for those with endocrine/hormonal issues, PMS, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, digestive issues, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Also: anxiety, insomnia; high blood pressure, stress management, chronic fatigue. People with colds, sore throats, asthma, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, and dermatitis can also find relief with acupuncture.

I studied and trained in Acupuncture and classic Chinese Medicine both in United State and in China. I completed a Doctoral Degree of Medicine in the specialty of Acupuncture & Moxibustion and Tuina, and studied under a number of renowned Chinese medicine masters. I have lots clinical experience in both China, where there is a high volume of patients, and in the United States. My ongoing study covers frontier techniques. For example, Acupuncture spirit: it is pulse-regulating acupuncture technique from Ling Shu. By changing pulse, it balances and regulates Qi to gain the strongest result from mildest stimulation by smaller and fewer needles.

Acupuncture is the art and science of correcting imbalances or disharmonies in the body and mind by balancing the body’s physical and energetic factors, and promoting the free flow of Qi and blood. Optimal health is dependent on the free flow of Qi and blood throughout the body. Pain and illness occur when there are blockages or imbalances in these factors in a particular area or throughout the body. At various locations along each of the various energy meridians are specific acupoints where the meridian’s energy can be manipulated in different ways. This stimulation of points brings both improved health and relief from pain.

Nicknamed as "The Magic Hands" by my patients, I am a Christian acupuncturist who has been blessed by the LORD with healing talents. I was trained by both Chinese masters in Hong Kong and the United States. I am the only practitioner who combines acupuncture, stress management, meridians body work, floral tea, and oriental diet in each patient visit. Chinese physical medicine from my grandmother allows me to enjoy great success rates in treating pain. I discharged a patient with neck pain after only one visit, and another patient experiences no more back pain and restless legs after 3 treatments.

I bring 20 years of shiatsu therapy and an in-depth knowledge of the meridian system to my practice. My approach to healing is multidimensional - addressing the body, mind and spirit. My goal is to provide the highest quality acupuncture treatment in a healing sanctuary where people feel cared for and supported; rebuilding strength where there is pain, restoring balance where there is stress and disharmony. Whether you are at the beginning of your healing process, or have explored other modalities, I will help you with your personalized treatment program. This co-creative relationship enhances the process and ensures the best outcome.

In my practice I offer top quality, attentive, highly personalized and compassionate care to my patients. I have been in practice in New York and Connecticut for over 24 years. In addition, I have 5 years of formal training in Chinese Herbal Medicine with several world renown teachers. I practice a combination of Japanese/meridian style acupuncture which is well suited to a western population. This style offers a gentle approach to treatment that most patients find relaxing.

Combining my experience of over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, along with eleven years now as an Acupuncturist, I bring a compassionate, trauma informed study and hands on body wisdom to your treatment. The utilization of this palpatory approach provides diagnosis as well as an instant measure of treatment effectiveness, which you will realize in real time. Both Western and Traditional Eastern medicine have their respective strengths and weaknesses. It is my belief, when they are appropriately combined, the patient is well served.

In my practice I strive to awaken the physician within each patient. To that end I emphasize the importance of daily self-maintenance in a way that takes into account individual limitations and experiences. The focus of each treatment is on correcting imbalances that contribute to the symptoms that the patient is experiencing. The overall goal of continuing treatments is to help each individual recognize how daily experiences can have a negative and/or positive impact on the balance of their health. Awareness of potential imbalances is the first step toward improving the overall quality of life.
