Dr. Travall's Acupuncture

Dr. Travall's Acupuncture is an integrative medicine practice at 10 Park Avenue, Suite 2D in New York. Its map listing describes it as an integrative medicine practice offering acupuncture. Services fall into two groups: cosmetic facial acupuncture and treatment for pain.

Facial sessions use fine, single-use needles placed along expression lines, around the eyes and into facial muscles. The first visit runs 90 minutes and opens with an intake covering health history, concerns and aesthetic goals. Sessions are usually weekly, and the practice says most patients see change after 6 to 10 sessions, followed by monthly maintenance. Mild redness after a session is described as normal and lasting 15 to 30 minutes. The practice states facial treatment involves no swelling, bruising or recovery period, and notes that it does not replace medical care when that is needed.

Pain care starts with a 75 to 90 minute first visit that includes a review of pain history, red flag screening and a hands-on orthopedic assessment. Treatment is delivered in weekly sessions. According to the practice, acute problems often resolve in 4 to 6 visits and chronic conditions may take longer. Motor point therapy places needles where a nerve enters a muscle to ease muscle tension. The practice treats neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain and sciatica, headaches and migraines, sports and overuse injuries, joint and limb pain, and TMJ and jaw pain.

Anyone curious can start with the free 15-minute consultation, which carries no commitment. Most inquiries are answered within one business day. The practice is open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 7:00pm and Saturday 10:00am to 4:00pm, and Sunday is for private sessions only. The client portal is not for emergencies; in an emergency, call 911.

Treatments are described as anatomy-based and aimed at underlying causes rather than symptoms, and the practice describes its methods as science-backed. Care is offered without surgery, painkillers, injections or artificial fillers.
