Holistic Wellness for Huntington, NY
The North Shore's busiest downtown has a hundred ways to switch off and almost none to recover. Those are different jobs.
Between the Route 110 corridor feeding down toward Melville and a village centre that runs later than anywhere else on this shore, Huntington keeps a particular kind of schedule. Work is demanding, the evening is full, and the weekend fills itself.
None of which is a problem. It is most of why people move here.
What it does produce is a body that is constantly stimulated and rarely restored, and a nervous system that has forgotten how to come down without help. Patients from Huntington describe it as being tired but wired, sleeping badly despite being exhausted, and holding tension in the shoulders and jaw that no amount of a good night out shifts.
Our Kings Park office is a run east along 25A. 631-223-4341.
Two Different Jobs
Switching off is not the same as recovering
Flip the switch. Same five systems, two different accounts.
Nothing here is an argument against a good week. It is an argument for putting something restorative into it as well, because the two are not interchangeable.
The Corridor
Demanding work, and the tab it runs up
The office parks along Route 110 employ a lot of Huntington, and the pattern that arrives from that population is consistent. Long hours at a desk, sustained pressure, a jaw that is clenched by four in the afternoon, and sleep that has quietly stopped doing its job.
Point work has been shown to reduce cortisol production, which is the mechanism underneath the tired-but-wired state rather than a metaphor for it. Acupuncture for anxiety and stress is the usual entry point, and it can run in the same appointment as massage or reiki.
For anyone who has had enough of people by the end of the week, reiki involves no needles and no pressure at all. Both are complementary care and neither replaces speaking to your physician if things have got heavy.
Where To Start
Three ways in from Huntington
All three run at Kings Park, a short drive east on 25A.
Acupuncture for Stress
The most common first appointment from this end of the Island. Drug free, and it addresses sleep and tension together rather than as separate complaints.
2Tension Relief Massage
Sixty minutes built for neck, shoulders, jaw and upper back, with trigger point work, assisted stretching and red light therapy included in the hour.
3Reiki
No needles, no pressure, fully clothed, and nothing asked of you for the entire session. The one people book when they cannot face being handled.
Combined appointments run acupuncture with massage or acupuncture with reiki in a single visit, which is worth doing if you are driving in. The full body detox range is at the Lindenhurst center. See all treatments.

Common Questions
Questions from Huntington
I sleep badly but I am not stressed. Does that fit?
Frequently, yes. Sleep and stress are treated as one picture here rather than two, and plenty of patients arrive certain they are fine and leave the first appointment having described a fortnight nobody would call restful.
Is there anything that does not involve needles?
Yes. Reiki involves no needles and no pressure at all, and Ceragem thermal massage is a table you lie on fully clothed. Both are options if the idea of acupuncture puts you off.
How far is Kings Park from Huntington?
East along 25A through Centerport, Northport and Fort Salonga. It is the longest run of any town we serve on the North Shore, which is why combined appointments are worth booking.
Can I get in after work?
Weekdays run until eight in the evening and both weekend days until five, seven days a week including holidays. Evening appointments are the most requested, so call rather than leaving it to chance.
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.
