Holistic Wellness for Babylon, NY
Our Lindenhurst center is the next village west, a few minutes along Montauk Highway. Close enough that plenty of Babylon patients come on a lunch break.
Babylon Patients
The next village over
The Balance Health and Wellness Center sits on North Wellwood Avenue in Lindenhurst, which puts it a short run west of Babylon Village along Montauk Highway. For most people in Babylon it is closer than wherever they were driving before.
We have treated patients from Babylon since 2004. A good share of them found us because they were already passing the building on the way to Sunrise Highway and never realised what was in it.
The practice runs more than twenty holistic treatments under one roof, led by Joseph A. D'Antona, DAOM, voted Long Island's Best Acupuncturist. Massage therapy here has been voted best on Long Island every year since 2011.
The Commute
Everyone on the 6:12 knows this feeling
Babylon is the end of the busiest branch on the Long Island Rail Road, and a large slice of the village does the Penn Station run. That is a specific kind of wear: an early alarm, a drive to the station, forty minutes hunched in a seat with a bag on one shoulder, a day at a desk, then the whole thing again in reverse.
It shows up in the same places every time. Neck and upper back, one shoulder worse than the other, tension headaches that arrive around Thursday, and a nervous system that never quite gets to switch off.
The Tension Relief Massage was built for exactly this, and acupuncture for stress works the chemistry underneath it. Weekday appointments run until eight in the evening, which is the point of them.
Through The Year
What Babylon comes in with
The village has a rhythm and so does the appointment book. Pick a season.
Boat season, and the back that comes with it
Everything on the Great South Bay goes back in the water at once, and the weekend before it does is spent hauling, scrubbing, sanding and lifting. We see a run of lower back and shoulder complaints every spring from people who did a winter of nothing and then a Saturday of everything. Tree pollen arrives at the same time, which brings the other half of the spring bookings.
What usually helps
Popular With Babylon Patients
Three things people book most
Acupuncture
Pain, migraines, anxiety and sleep. It can also be combined with massage, reiki or Active Release Therapy in a single visit, which suits people who are only getting across once a fortnight.
Massage therapy
Twelve sixty-minute treatments with enhancements worked into the hour. The Tension Relief and Sport Performance sessions are the two Babylon books most.
Full body detox
Colon hydrotherapy, far infrared sauna and ionic foot detox in a dedicated center. Popular as a January reset and again before beach season.
The rest of the menu runs from reiki and herbal consultations through to allergy elimination and thermography screening. See everything here.
Getting Here
A few minutes west of the village
Lindenhurst, our main office
672 N Wellwood Ave, Suite 2Lindenhurst, NY 11757
631-309-2242
Head west on Montauk Highway out of Babylon Village and turn onto North Wellwood Avenue. If you are coming off Sunrise Highway instead, Wellwood is the exit you already use for the village.
Open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm and weekends from 8am to 5pm, seven days a week including major holidays.
Working up on the North Shore? Our Kings Park office may suit that half of your week better.
Why Patients Stay
Everything in one building
The practical argument for coming here rather than piecing it together is that the practitioners work in the same building and talk to each other.
If acupuncture is not the right tool, Active Release Therapy is down the hall. If a formula would hold the progress between visits, the herbalist is the same person writing the point prescription. If the problem turns out to be broader than one complaint, it goes into a pain management plan rather than being treated one session at a time.

Common Questions
Questions from Babylon patients
How far is it from Babylon Village?
A few minutes west along Montauk Highway. Our Lindenhurst office is on North Wellwood Avenue, and for most of Babylon it is a shorter trip than people expect before they check.
Can I get an appointment after work?
Yes. Weekdays run until eight in the evening and both weekend days until five. Evening slots go first, so call ahead if you need one, particularly if you are coming off a train.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept all major insurances and verify your specific coverage before your first visit. Submit your details through our intake page and we will confirm what applies to you beforehand.
Can I book more than one treatment in a visit?
Yes, and if you are travelling in it usually makes sense. Combined appointments exist for acupuncture with massage, reiki or Active Release Therapy, and detox treatments stack easily in one trip.
I have never done anything like this. Where do I start?
Call 631-309-2242 and say exactly that. The front desk has this conversation every day and will get you to the right first appointment rather than selling you the longest one.
