What is Foundational Health?
A foundational approach to your health means addressing every aspect of who you are—physical, emotional, and spiritual—helping you feel balanced and whole, even when the world around you feels anything but.
Just as a tree cannot survive without strong roots and a healthy trunk, neglecting your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being can leave you feeling depleted.
Eastern medicine provides essential nourishment to restore harmony, supporting your physical, mental, and emotional health and helping you thrive from the inside out.
Your Journey to Foundational Health Starts Here
1
Verify your insurance and/or call 617-860-2039 to schedule your first appointment with one of our licensed providers.
2
First appointment (approximately 90 minutes): We will discuss your health concerns, explain the principles of our Eastern medicine practices, conduct a full-body diagnostic, and create a personalized acupuncture treatment plan. This will be followed by your initial session.
3
Follow-up treatments (60 minutes): We typically recommend 12 weekly sessions to address your concerns. Treatments are tailored to your specific health issues, ranging from pain management to stress relief.
4
Notice results after 2-3 treatments!* As your treatment progresses, you will experience a greater sense of well-being and reclaim your life through the power of natural acupuncture.
* Acute conditions tend to resolve more quickly than chronic issues. Chronic conditions may take longer to rebalance due to prolonged stress on the body, but with consistent treatments, you will notice significant improvements.

Testimonials
Google does not allow enough stars to recommend AcuBoston! I would give 10 ⭐️if I could. Their space has an amazing ambiance and everyone is friendly and ready to make you feel comfortable! From the moment I step inside their doors I feel like I’m already on the way to feeling better. I’ve been going to AcuBoston for many years and I’ve been treated for a few issues successfully . If you are not a patient already I recommend running not walking to these amazing acupuncturists .
Polina and the Acuboston team are incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I am a physical therapist schooled in western medicine and have been skeptical of healthcare practices outside of this paradigm, but the results speak for themselves. Not only am I a happy patient but I’ve sent some of my own patients to her to help with pain, neuropathy, even things like GI distress and circulation issues and everyone I’ve sent has only had good things to say. I cannot recommend this practice enough and I’ve learned a lot just from being a patient.
I have been treated with both herbs and acupuncture by Polina and Kerri and I can attest to their knowledge and expertise. After a very small number of treatments my symptoms have disappeared and I feel dramatically better. Their empathic and considerate approach made me feel at ease and trust that I was in expert hands. I am grateful because with their help my quality of life has dramatically improved.
Our whole family receives treatment from Polina and we are extremely satisfied. She is very skilful in her procedure and has a calm, relaxing manner that puts you at ease immediately. Her knowledge of herbs and supplements has also helped us make significant improvements in our general health.
I love Polina and the care I receive from Acuboston! It’s a calm, comforting space where I’m able to target issues in my body and work towards healing and feeling better.
AcuBoston has changed my life in so many positive ways! I look forward to my weekly appointment with Tony, Ali, and now most recently with Kerri! All of the staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. In addition to that they are compassionate, warm, and make you feel at ease. The support staff is just as lovely. Booking appointments is seamless. I truly cannot recommend them enough.
I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for a while now and although I’m not completely healed yet, my experience with Kerri and the AcuBoston team has been amazing. I feel like I’m slowly getting back to my regular self and it’s only been possible with the support and care from them. If you’re dealing with any serious injuries or just simply struggling to get out of bed in the morning, I highly recommend booking an appointment!
This is an amazing acupuncture place. They are very kind as well as talented. At least several of them are also extremely knowledgeable about Western medicine, which has been hugely helpful in navigating a challenging health passage. Their community acupuncture program also helps to make acupuncture affordable. Interestingly, several kinds of acupuncture are practiced here, but they all seem to work together really well. If needles are an issue for you, they help with that. Do not hesitate to try this place.
Compassionate care. Kerri has been great at targeting my issues. The care I have received at AcuBoston has been able to offer relief to some longstanding and difficult problem areas. Great for treatment of neurological issues.
I have been going to Acuboston every week for almost a year, and it is the best decision I have made for my mental and physical health. Ali is a magician and always listens attentively to my weekly pain issues. I have referred at least 3 people to the practice so far and I believe they all have continued their sessions weekly!!
