Acupuncture In Manhattan

I was a patient of Yolanda Vasquez for a year and a half. At the time, I was suffering greatly from severe monthly migraines and anxiety. I am unable to take triptans so my treatment options are limited. I had spoken to my internist, met with 3 different neurologists (one suggested taking Vicodin), and even tried Botox injections. Nothing worked. Acupuncture was my last resort; in fact, when I explained my history to Yolanda at our first session, I started to cry – I felt hopeless. Her calm soothing manner relaxed me and I was grateful. I was initially skeptical regarding acupuncture. I spoke to several people who recommended it and decided to try it because as I mentioned earlier, I was getting desperate. I was suffering at work, often needing to either leave the office early or call in sick, and was bedridden at least 2 days a month due to the pain. The anxiety was an ongoing challenge too. I even spoke to HR about going on short-term disability.

My sessions were Friday after work. Soon I came to look forward to them; they were the highlight of my week. My job at a large law firm was very stressful. Emotionally, I was a mess. At the beginning of each session, Yolanda would sit with me, and ask how I was, and what we should work on. Sometimes I had IBS issues, sometimes I had a difficult period. But, for the most part, our sessions would focus on migraine treatment. A portion of our session would be devoted to massage. Yolanda would use various essential oils which were especially soothing and relaxing. She would play calming music.  I would go home smelling fragrant and feeling relaxed. She also gave me a small vial of lavender oil (my favorite) to use before I went to bed.
The treatments definitely helped with my migraines and anxiety by about 80%. Most of the women in my family suffer from migraines, and I knew without medication or painkillers available treatments were slim. I cut out coffee and dairy as much as possible and avoided alcohol.

I highly recommend Yolanda for acupuncture and massage therapy. She improved my life and I value her expertise and am grateful that she has been a part of my life.

Yolanda is intuitive and her hand are magical! The best in NYC!

Yolanda is very talented and intuitive. I left my first visit feeling great relief after months of pain. I feel grateful to have found an amazing acupuncturist.

I have severe back pain from untreated sports injuries over the years – I’ve had 2 back surgeries but have permanent nerve damage on my spine. After a year of physical therapy to get to a good place when just walking, I’ve had times when the pain is unmanageable & I cannot walk or stand without extreme pain. After every session with Yolanda at Best Acupuncture NYC, I not only have immediate improvement and relief from whatever is going on in that moment, but her specialized treatment of the permanent nerve pain also improves. I thought after the surgeries I had to learn how to live with the pain, and at times felt hopeless because it’s unbearable. I tried everything. Medication does not work for me, and in general, it’s not a solution and causes other problems. This is a real solution for me.

Finally! I have searched for years to find an acupuncturist and one who also is a talented masseuse. Yolanda has healing hands… and needles. My wrist injury is finally healing and my whole body is healthier, not just my arm. (Bonus too: All the friends I keep referring LOVE her also!)

I can’t say enough about Yolanda. She has been a sanctuary for me as I have dealt with everything from fibroids to anxiety. She is so much more than an acupuncturist. Her gifted hands and compassionate care have truly improved my physical and mental health. She is a self-care must in my life!

Very intuitive. I wish I’d found her earlier in my pregnancy, since seeing her my pregnancy aches and pains have lessened drastically. Coming to her office is the best part of my week now.

Yolanda is the REAL DEAL! Her knowledge and skill of her craft are beyond measure. She was able to get rid of my sciatic nerve pain within 30 minutes!! Apparently, I had knots within my pericardial meridians which deal with the heart and its emotional connection so she counseled me on how to approach the issue holistically. The session was finished with a powerful shiatsu massage and aromatherapy. To say she should be charging way more is an understatement. Thank heavens people like her exist. I’m eternally grateful for meeting a true HEALER! I highly recommend everyone to pay her a visit.

Wow, wow, wow. I went to see Yolanda about a month ago and am still dreaming about this experience. I went to see her having been in major pain in my upper back and shoulder. When I arrived to the office, she was so easy and gentle with me, listening to where I was in the moment, and offered me water and even a ginger ale to soothe my upset stomach! I’d filled out an intake form before arriving so she was aware of what had been plaguing me, and asked some remarkably intuitive questions that gave me the space to dig a little deeper beyond my physical pain and consider what else could be at play. She started the session with a heat lamp over me that immediately relaxed me, and began gently manually releasing my stressed areas. The appointment included acupuncture, stimulation, and some mild stretching. I felt so cared for and relieved that I cried some during the session. There was a little chatting, but to the extent that helped me look closer at my self and how to better care for me. I felt so wonderful and at peace afterwards. I can’t thank her enough and am looking forward to regular sessions!

Yolanda is brilliant at what she does. I was looking for someone who could help me with my back pain and she is the right one. I highly recommend her if you want to get rid of your pain.

Yolanda is AMAZING and you should def go see her as in my experience she is the best and most passionate acupuncture I have ever gone to. I came to her as I used to have severe migraines and back pain. It has been 7 months since I have been seeing her and my migraine and pain and frequency have decreased at least 80%. Besides that, I love going there as it is a time for me to destress from work and just relax, enjoy the message she gives, the relaxing music she has always on and the essential oils she uses. I will def continue my treatment with her

Yolanda has magical hands and keen instincts. She is helping me with shoulder pain that is healing in a wonderful way that I didn’t think was possible. She’s simply the best.

From the first moment spent with yolanda, you feel her healing energy. She takes pride in her work and gives her 100% each session. Incredible practitioner and an absolutely beautiful human being. Practice has changed my quality of life pertaining to holistic wellness

Acupuncture and massage treatment with Yolanda is a beautiful and deeply appreciated weekly recharge. I feel safe and loved. Her work has helped me tremendously in moving through the pain, trauma, stress, and overthinking that was/is lodged in my body. As well as my body feeling more balanced, alive, and rested, Yolanda’s practice and care with energy work has helped my flow and alignment in ways I can’t always see but can always feel. The Electric Stimulation treatment following a much needed massaging and grounding, helped to really move some of the energy and tension I was holding in my back from exercise and sitting. I fell into a meditative connection with my body as I could feel the electricity and needles activating and releasing my muscles. The rose quarts, oils, and Yolanda’s care filled the session with comfort and deep relaxation.

Extremely satisfied! She’s the best acupuncturist I’ve ever seen in my entire life. No words! Just Wow….Could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommended to anyone.

I began seeing Yolanda approximately 2 years ago following a shoulder surgery. She is exceptionally gifted in both acupuncture and massage. I have recommended her to several friends and family members who have all had excellent experiences with her.

It took me 3 yrs while living here in NY to trust someone enough to call my acupuncturist. Yolanda is gentle with treatment and can always figure out exactly where my pain is coming from. Her experience with massaging is a plus with the treatment! I am so happy to have found her and would recommend her to everyone!!

Can i give MORE stars? I have had both of my knees reconstructed ( Mcl, Pcl & Meniscus ) and with just 15 minutes of treatment I was pain free for 6 months!!! I have been other places but NO-ONE is like Yolanda!

Great experience. Yolanda was personable, thoughtful and intuitive to my needs. Helped me tremendously

Omg Yolanda Vasquez!! AMAZING!!!! Her hands are just magical!! Wish I can take her home!

My experience at Invigorating Classical Acupuncture over the last year has been great!! Since I have been going to Yolanda for treatment, my muscles have been less tense and my energy throughout the day has gone up. During all of my acupuncture sessions, Yolanda knew the exact locations to apply treatment without me even telling her. As a ex-football player with a lot of muscle mass, Yolanda was able to apply the right amount of pressure when it came to stretching my neck and locating tense points on my body. I continue to visit Yolanda for treatment and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture and massage therapy.

I’ve been seeing Yolanda for deep tissue massage and acupuncture for about three months, and out of all the massage therapists I’ve seen in NY, she is my favorite. Yolanda is a fantastic and knowledgeable massage therapist and acupuncturist. I always feel that she takes the time and energy to communicate with my body and respond to what my muscles are saying (if that makes sense). I love going to see her simply because I feel sooo relaxed and have fewer aches and pains when I do.

The benefits of acupuncture are insurmountable and with Yolanda’s approach to high quality care, you can’t loose. Yolanda is a practitioner you can trust, I highly recommend invigorating classical acupuncture! !!.

I have been coming to acupuncture with Yolanda for at least three years. With my joint issues, replacement knees, bad shoulders, foot surgery, my pain levels should be through the roof.

However, her work has given me the vitality to swim twice a week, take 90 minute yoga sessions and walk without pain for three miles at a time.

She is trustworthy, invested in your health and an old around great person.

Yolanda is a very thorough practitioner. Great personality also. She has great referrals if you need other methods of healing. You’ll love her!

Yolanda Vasquez best acupuncturist in the city. Been feeling absolutely wonderful after seeing her.

This place is great. Clean, great atmosphere. The service was phenomenal.

Yolanda is amazing. Not enough words to express how she’s helped me these past few months. I’ve known her for years and she is just amazing.

Relaxing atmosphere, very soothing!

Clean relAxint

Yolanda is very knowledgeable, made me feel very comfortable & had a terrific technique for putting the needles & then stimulating them.

Very friendly and professional. Plan to return.

Very wonderful surroundings as well as an acupuncturist who provided me with an amazing combination of hands-on and acupuncture. I will definitely continue sessions with Ms. Vazquez.

If you are looking for a great acupuncturist and massage therapist Yolanda is absolutely the best you can find. Her dedication to what she does is just amazing. When you make an appointment with her not only you will find yourself in a welcoming and professional environment, but you will also be healed by her soothing treatments.

I have been blessed by her services for almost 10 years and not once I have left her office disappointed. I would recommend her amazing therapies to everyone.

I have been depending on Yolanda’s genius combination of acupuncture and massage for a year and a half now. Going weekly, I have been able to get my chronic pain from a rib injury under control.

She is simply remarkable at what she does. Gifted. Caring, Kind, Compassionate. I cannot recommend her enough! Grateful.

Yolanda is a great, gentle, and thorough Acupuncturist. I am scared of needles and felt basically nothing when she put them into certain points.

She also did very specific massage to relieve the aches in my body and I felt so relaxed after the treatment. She is also really friendly and the office is so conveniently located as well. I highly recommend her. Thanks, Yolanda!

I had my first Acupuncture session with Yolanda, and I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations. Her establishment is peaceful and serene. During my time there, I felt at home and quite comfortable. Yolanda was extremely kind and attentive.

Not only did she take her time to explain her practice and passion, but she was also a great listener – noting measures that can be taken to alleviate any concerns or questions I had. I have been in a relaxed state since and look forward to my next appointment.
