About Tom Cohen

A practiced hand, a patient ear, and a commitment to your recovery

Tom Cohen earned his Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and has spent more than two decades refining his craft. His training is grounded in the classical Chinese medical tradition — the kind passed down through centuries of clinical observation and practice.

What sets Tom apart is how he listens. He doesn't rush to label; he takes the time to understand the person in front of him — their history, their concerns, what they're hoping to change. That attentiveness shows in his work.

Whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply feeling like your body isn't functioning the way it should, Tom brings both the discipline of tradition and the curiosity of a clinician who never stopped learning.

Treatments tailored to what your body needs

Every person who sits across from Tom brings a different story. These are the approaches most commonly used to meet that story where it is.

Pain Management

Chronic back pain, arthritis, migraines, sciatica — acupuncture is one of the most well-researched therapies for persistent pain, and Tom brings both depth and nuance to every treatment plan.

Stress & Anxiety

When the nervous system is in overdrive, acupuncture can help restore balance — not by masking symptoms, but by supporting the body's own capacity to settle, recover, and regulate.

Sports Recovery

Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to improve performance, acupuncture can reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and support faster healing between training sessions.

Digestive Health

From bloating and IBS to acid reflux and food sensitivities — Oriental medicine has a long history of addressing digestive concerns at their root, not just suppressing symptoms.

Insomnia & Sleep

Poor sleep is rarely just about sleep. Tom works with the underlying patterns — stress, pain, hormonal shifts — that disrupt rest and help you build a sustainable path back to deep, restorative sleep.

Women's Health

From menstrual irregularities and hormonal imbalance to fertility support and menopause — acupuncture offers a gentle, effective complement to conventional care for women at every stage.

The Approach

Ancient wisdom, practiced with modern precision

Traditional acupuncture is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Each session begins with a thorough assessment — pulse diagnosis, tongue observation, and a conversation about your health history and goals.

Tom's style is rooted in classical techniques, but he integrates modern anatomical knowledge and evidence-based research to ensure every treatment is both time-tested and clinically sound.

The result is a practice that feels both deeply traditional and entirely contemporary — one that meets you where you are and walks with you toward lasting improvement.
