At Ava Zack Acupuncture, care is grounded in both classical East Asian medicine and modern neurophysiology.  Treatments are individualized, research-informed, and designed to work alongside Western medical care - not replace it.

Who I Work With

For Patients

I treat a wide range of conditions including chronic pain, nerve pain, stress-related disorders, sleep issues, hormonal imbalance, metabolic & immune concerns, and skin conditions. My approach focuses on identifying root contributors, regulating the nervous system, and supporting the body’s natural capacity to heal.

For Cosmetic & Microneedling Clients

Medical microneedling and cosmetic acupuncture are offered as part of a whole-body approach to skin health. Treatments focus on collagen stimulation, circulation, inflammation reduction, and internal factors that influence skin aging and hair health.

For Referring Providers

I work collaboratively with physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, and case managers including injuries and chronic pain cases. Care emphasizes neuromodulation, functional recovery, and clear clinical communication.
