ACUPUNCTURE, elevated.
The art of acupuncture is central to our story at Pellegrino Healing Center. Founder Christine Pellegrino, M.S., L.Ac., established the center in response to the high demand for her private acupuncture practice. To meet the community's growing need for acupuncture and holistic healing services, she expanded the team and offerings.
As a core service, acupuncture continues to provide transformative results for our patients, enhancing their overall well-being.

Unlock your body's healing potential.
Your body knows how to heal itself. Sometimes it just needs some guidance to remember how, and that is where acupuncture comes in. Acupuncture is a healing technique that has been utilized for thousands of years, originating in ancient China. Practitioners stimulate specific points in the body through the insertion of needles to alleviate symptoms.
Our acupuncturists use a unique Japanese style of acupuncture designed by world-renowned Master, Kiiko Matsumoto, in combination with Traditional Chinese Medicine, 5 Element, Trigger Point Acupuncture, and Electroacupuncture.
We go above and beyond...
Acupuncture at Pellegrino Healing Center is really something special. Our treatments last for approximately 60-minutes. Sometimes it may be a bit shorter and sometimes a bit longer, depending on what your practitioner feels is clinically indicated. You can expect to be here up to 75-minutes. Treatment includes a heated BioMat lining the bed (an approved FDA medical device) along with a blend of modalities that are incorporated such as infratonic therapy, aromatherapy and other healing modalities. Specific treatment modalities and acupuncture points are tailored to each patient, addressing individual concerns and helping bring the body back into balance.

Additional, complimentary healing tools.
INCLUDED WITH ALL ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS:
Amethyst Crystal Biomat
The BioMat is an FDA approved medical device that combines infrared light, negative ion technology, and the healing properties of Amethyst crystal to deliver its many benefits such as arthritis relief, skin vitalization, improved circulation, increased tissue oxygen, and alleviation of pain. The therapeutic components of the BioMat balance and stabilize the bodies systems and strengthen the body's own self-healing power.
AMETHYST CRYSTALS cover the entire surface of the BioMat and deliver both infrared and negative ions naturally. Here, amethyst crystal is not only used to focus the FIR energy of the BioMat but also helps to calm and protect the mind and nervous system.
Infratonic Therapy
Infratonic therapy accelerates muscle cell healing and reduces inflammation. Utilizing sound waves to penetrate deep into frenzied cells, Infratonic therapy returns cells to their calm, normal state so they can begin their natural healing protocols towards long-term relief. Infratonic therapy promotes healing and relief for any kind of injury or pain in tissues, muscles, and joints-from acute injuries to chronic spasms, traumatic accidents to menstrual cramps, and everything in between.
