Board-certified medical acupuncture for chronic pain, migraines, back pain, arthritis, and more. Covered by insurance and Medicare.
If you’ve been living with chronic pain, you know how exhausting it is. Maybe you’ve tried medications that stopped working or came with side effects you couldn’t tolerate. Maybe physical therapy helped a little, but you’re still hurting. You’re not imagining it—and you’re not out of options.
Medical acupuncture, along with cupping, works differently from pain medications. Instead of masking symptoms, it stimulates your body’s natural healing response. Thin, sterile needles are placed at precise points to release tension, calm inflammation, and trigger your own pain-relieving chemicals.
What makes our approach unique is that Dr. Boguslavsky is both a board-certified family-medicine physician and a board-certified medical acupuncturist—the only doctor in the region with both credentials. He understands your pain from both a Western medical and an Eastern medicine perspective, then integrates the two for faster, longer-lasting relief.
The best part? Many insurance plans now cover medical acupuncture for chronic pain, and Medicare covers it for chronic low-back pain. This isn’t “alternative” care; it’s evidence-based treatment insurers recognize works.

We'll reach out within 24 hours to answer your questions and help you schedule an appointment. Most new patients are seen same day, in person or via telemedicine.
At PremierMD, we don't just stick needles in and hope for the best. Dr. Boguslavsky's dual board certification means he can combine the best of both worlds for your pain relief.
First, we take time to understand your pain. Where does it hurt? When did it start? What makes it better or worse? Have you tried other treatments? Your first visit is typically 30-60 minutes—not a rushed 10-minute appointment.
Dr. Boguslavsky examines your condition through both a conventional medical lens AND a traditional Chinese medicine perspective. This dual approach helps identify the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.
We create a treatment plan specifically for YOU. This might include acupuncture alone, or we might combine it with medications, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or other approaches. Whatever works best for your body.
The needles are hair-thin and most patients say they barely feel them. Dr. Boguslavsky places them at specific acupuncture points proven to relieve pain. You'll rest comfortably for 20-30 minutes while the treatment works.
Pain relief usually improves over several sessions. Most patients come weekly at first, then less frequently as pain improves. We adjust your treatment plan based on how you respond. You're never stuck in a cookie-cutter program.
How many treatments will I need? It varies by person and condition. Some patients feel relief after one session. Most need 6-12 treatments to see significant improvement. Chronic pain that's been around for years usually needs more sessions than recent injuries. We'll give you an honest assessment at your first visit.
Dr. Boguslavsky is the only physician in the region board-certified in BOTH Family Medicine AND Medical Acupuncture. This means he understands your pain from every angle—Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and everything in between.
Many insurance plans now cover medical acupuncture, and Medicare covers it for chronic low back pain. We'll verify your coverage before your first appointment and handle all the billing headaches for you.
Your appointments are 30-60 minutes, not rushed 10-minute visits. We actually have time to listen to you, answer your questions, and adjust your treatment based on how you're responding.
We can combine acupuncture with medications, trigger point injections, joint injections, physical therapy referrals, and lifestyle medicine. You don't need to see multiple providers—we coordinate everything.
In pain right now? We offer same-day appointments for acute flare-ups. Call us in the morning, and we'll get you in within 24-48 hours. No weeks-long wait times.
Our office in Bridgewater (Central NJ) has flexible hours including evenings and Saturdays. We make it easy to fit acupuncture into your schedule.
Most patients say they barely feel the needles. The needles are hair-thin—much thinner than the needles used for shots or blood draws. You might feel a tiny pinch or a dull ache as the needle reaches the therapeutic point, but it shouldn't hurt. Many patients actually fall asleep during treatment because it's so relaxing.
It depends on your condition and how long you've had it. Acute injuries might feel better after 3-5 treatments. Chronic pain that's been around for years usually needs 8-12 treatments to see significant improvement. Most patients come weekly at first, then space treatments further apart as pain improves. We'll give you an honest assessment at your first visit.
Many insurance plans now cover medical acupuncture for chronic pain, especially when performed by a licensed physician. Medicare covers acupuncture for chronic low back pain. Call us at (908) 450-7002 with your insurance card information and we'll verify your coverage before your first appointment.
Your first visit takes 30-60 minutes because we do a comprehensive evaluation. Follow-up acupuncture treatments typically take 45 minutes total—about 15 minutes for check-in and needle placement, then 20-30 minutes of rest with needles in place. We're not rushing you through like a factory.
Absolutely. In fact, many patients are able to reduce their pain medication dosages as acupuncture starts working. Dr. Boguslavsky is a board-certified physician, so he understands how acupuncture and medications interact. We'll coordinate everything to create the safest, most effective treatment plan for you.
While acupuncture works for most people with chronic pain, it's not magic—and we won't pretend it is. If you don't see improvement after 4-6 treatments, we'll reassess and discuss other options. Because Dr. Boguslavsky is also a family medicine physician, we have many other pain management tools available—medications, trigger point injections, joint injections, physical therapy referrals, or NJ state registry certification. We'll figure out what works for YOUR body.
