Chronic pain is a significant condition that affects millions of Americans.

Our patients experienced one of three chronic pain conditions (nonspecific back or neck pain, shoulder pain, chronic headache’); According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), a number of studies suggest that acupuncture works particularly well on chronic pain such as back and neck pain; osteoarthritis/knee pain; and headache. It often reduces the incidence and severity of tension headaches and may prevent migraines. “Therefore,” the NIH concludes, “acupuncture appears to be a reasonable option for people with chronic pain to consider.”

Before you start acupuncture treatments, be sure to have your pain evaluated by your doctor. “Acupuncture can be a useful method of treating the chronic pain that affects millions of Americans, but it should only be used as part of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment,” said Dr. Virgil. “Acupuncture should not be used in replacement of conventional medical care.”

Choosing the right practitioner is critical. “When performed by a well-trained practitioner, using only sterile needles, acupuncture is completely safe,” said Dr. Virgil. According to the NIH, improperly performed acupuncture can cause serious side effects. Licensing requirements for acupuncturists vary by state so a good place to start your search is by asking a doctor familiar with acupuncture or with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

Updates to the Clinic’s COVID Protocols

COVID-19 has changed all of our lives. It has changed how we work, shop, exercise, eat, and find social connections. As we learn new information about the novel coronavirus, we shift and adapt to try to stay safe.

COVID-19 has changed how the clinic will operate. Using CDC guidance for best clinic practices, along with the desire to give patients the safest care possible, major changes will be made to the clinic.

Before coming to the clinic, patients must sign the COVID-19 consent form that will be sent through email.

In addition, a COVID-19 questioner must be filed before every appointment that will also be sent in an email.

New safety measures:

Practitioners will be wearing a mask and gloves and any additional PPE that is necessary.
Patients must wear a cloth or surgical mask regardless of symptoms during the visit. If patients do not wear masks upon arrival, one will be provided.
There will be minimal talking while in the room and during the treatment.
There will be air sanitizing systems in each room that sanitize the air in each room with UV light.
Extra care and documentation for cleaning between patients.

New safety procedures for Visits:

We will be prescreening patients 18-24 hours before their appointment for COVID-19 symptoms through a questionnaire. There will be no cancellation fee for appointment missed due to possible coronavirus symptoms such as fever, chest tightness/cough, and sudden loss of taste/smell.
Patients must arrive AT THEIR APPOINTMENT TIME. Upon arrival, additional questions will be asked about COVID-19 symptoms. Patients are required to wear face masks at all time
After washing hands, patients’ temperature will be taken .
Patients will also be greeted with a dose of hand sanitizer upon arrival at the office and then escorted to the treatment room.
No personal items except a wallet and phone may enter the office. Please leave sweaters, jackets, umbrellas, pocketbooks either at home or safely hidden in the trunk of the car.
“Vulnerable” Persons

The CDC defines a vulnerable person as someone who is more likely to have a severe infection with COVID-19. This includes anyone 65 and older or someone with a serious underlying health condition (click to see the CDC’s complete list). It is recommended that “vulnerable” individuals who have no antibodies to coronavirus wait to come in for treatment unless it is deemed medically necessary.

Positive Coronavirus Test?

Contact tracing is important if someone tests positive for coronavirus. If a patient tests positive for COVID-19 after being seen, they must notify the clinic so that appropriate measures can taken.

Likewise, if the practitioner tests positive for the coronavirus, patients who have been seen will be notified to possibly quarantine, depending on exposure.

Here's What Our Customers Think

When I first walked in the door at Blue Moon Acupuncture I was greeted by a friendly hello from Ali. I then met Mojgan who listened to my reasons for seeing her. She showed me empathy and treated me with kindness. She is impressively knowledgeable and offered ways I could help myself outside of my appointments. I highly recommend Mojgan

I found Mojgan on google search and chose her because she is close to my home and someone else had written a review about how she had helped her with sciatica- which is why I went to her.

I could not put weight on my left leg and was using crutches and a shower chair. I thought I needed a hip replacement, but my hip was fine, I had sciatica.

After my first visit I felt worse, but the next morning I felt better. By my 3rd visit I no longer needed crutches. After my 8 th visit I was back playing Pickleball. After my 9th visit I skied for 3 days.

No one can believe how quickly I recovered. I attribute it to Mojgan. I highly recommend giving this place a try. They also practice Covid protection too- so it’s safe.

I have MS and experienced a flare up recently. I have been coming consistently to see Megan for about a year. She is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me with numerous pain, other MS related symptoms. When I go it’s almost like a relief eases over me. I rarely if ever have to take pain pills anymore. The office is super clean , friendly and kind. I will always go to Bluemoon Acupuncture. I also get multiple Chinese herbs and pain relief ointments. 5 of 5 stars!!!!!

Megan saved my sanity during a severe sciatica attack this past month. She provided the only pain relief I had over 6 weeks of treatments. None of the other sources - chiropractor, Urgent Care and PCP helped at all. Physical therapy plus the acupuncture have finally brought me to 98% pain-free and able to return to work. I have been recommending everyone I meet to come see Blue Moon Acupuncture and Megan! Thank you Megan!
