Amy Green
Licensed Acupuncturist, L.Ac., LMT
Amy Green combines a variety of acupuncture treatments (Balance Method Acupuncture, TCM, Auricular Acupuncture, Trigger Point/Dry Needling Acupuncture, Motor Point and Neurofunctional Acupuncture, and Electroacupuncture Medicine) with 20 years of Neuromuscular Massage experience to create effective, customized treatment plans for her patients. She receives each person with an open mind and provides a safe and private space where patients can ask questions and speak openly about their health and well-being. A typical acupuncture session often includes additional treatments, such as Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxibustion, Kinesiotaping, and Infrared Heat Therapy, which are chosen based on the patient’s needs “in the moment.”
Amy’s acupuncture specialties include treating anxiety, musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, post-surgical pain, headaches and migraines, and digestive issues. Rather than seeing Eastern and Western medicine at odds, Amy considers this to be an exciting time during which the two can work together for the best interest of patients. She is currently pursuing certification in Auriculotherapy under the tutelage of French Neurophysiologist, Dr. David Alimi.

What Amy’s Clients are Saying
“This place is an absolute godsend. I started coming here for acupuncture after a recommended it. I was having relentless sciatica pain, and the treatment my doctor prescribed wasn't helping at all. Nothing was helping. After 4 sessions with Amy, I was completely pain free for the first time in months. In addition to treatments being effective, the online booking process is super easy, the staff are all very professional, kind, hospitable, and very Covid conscious, which I appreciate immensely. Today I switched it up and got a stress relief massage because I'm stressed af. The process involved a fragrant, peppermint infused head and neck massage on a heated bed, magnesium butter massage on my hands and feet with heated mittens and booties, and the whole thing topped off with weighted blankets, a weighted eye mask, and noise canceling headphones playing earth sounds. Believe me when I tell you that if it were appropriate, I would have slept for 8 hours after because it was so relaxing. They also sell an assortment of CBD products. I'm SO GLAD this place is in my neighborhood.”

“I go here for acupuncture. Amy is AMAZING! I am on my third session and I haven't felt this great in years. I am so incredibly thankful for their services. Life changing! I recommend this place to everyone. Extremely clean and sanitary especially during COVID. I literally count the days to my next session. They are helping with my constant migraines, muscle pain/tension, sinus pressure and my anxiety.”

“Amy is absolutely amazing. I had a few acupuncture sessions with her and she made such an incredible difference in my back pain. She takes her time to really get to know you and understand your problems. She is so kind and patient. Simply a wonderful experience, and I cannot wait to return!”

“I started seeing Amy for acupuncture in November 2017 for chronic sinus issues. I was desperate for relief, had seen so many doctors and specialists, had allergy testing done, tried a bunch of meds. Nothing helped. I was getting about 4-6 sinus infections a year, every couple of months. Every time was a doctor or urgent care visit, a round of antibiotics. Then it would sometimes cause a cold, and it always caused my asthma to flare up. After a couple of sessions with Amy I was already seeing relief. My constant sinus pressure and swelling was decreasing, breathing better, sleeping better. I moved into maintenance appointment status and it's been life changing! I haven't had a sinus infection since I started acupuncture, even with activities that used to cause them with no fail (cleaning my house, being outside, etc.). Not to be gross, but I used to have post-nasal drip so constant and significant that I would choke. It's GONE COMPLETELY! And no sinus infections means no colds, no asthma flare ups. I no longer use all the nasal sprays and inhalers I had daily. Now I have Amy treating my sinuses as well as allergies, sleep issues, anxiety and stress, premenstrual and menstrual pain, etc. I recommend acupuncture to everyone. I've even noticed a huge savings in my HSA spending this year without all the doctor appointments and meds. GO SEE AMY!”

“I saw Amy for acupuncture after having mild back pain for years that became very intense over the last few months. I had seen several doctors and physical therapists for the pain with no results. I felt defeated and tired of always having pain. Amy spent time with me during my first appointment to really listen to my symptoms and asked me detailed questions to help create my personalized treatment plan and try to find the root cause. She really seemed to care about helping me. Amy used cupping almost as a diagnostic tool to see where my pain was / increase circulation and then did acupuncture. After my first appointment, the pain significantly decreased. I now have no pain. Having a private session also helped me see the benefits of having a customized plan verses going to community acupuncture which is relaxing for me in general. While I have not gone to community acupuncture here, I now understand that if I have a specific need to address, private sessions are definitely the way to get results.”
- Denise R.
“I really love this place, from the calming music and tea while waiting in the lobby, to the wide variety of services. I especially am enjoying acupuncture with Amy, I have tried multiple additions to the acupuncture from electro-acupuncture, to Gua Sha. Each as rendered with gentle care and customized attention to my needs. I am a fan of this place and my body is feeling so balanced and strong as a result. Thanks for what you do!”

I received my first ever acupuncture treatment with Amy of Pittsburgh Acupuncture & Massageworks, and to say the experience was life-changing is not an overstatement. I had acute hearing loss and severe tinnitus as well as chronic lower back pain. Amy expertly and gently guided me through the treatment, communicating what she was doing at every step and soliciting my feedback regarding my comfort and the efficacy of the work. My back pain and tightness was immediately diminished to levels I had not attained in years, and the hearing issues began to improve immediately and resolved entirely over the next few days. I am beyond grateful to have had Amy for my first acupuncture experience because it introduced me to the modality in the most positive way I could have ever hoped for. The depth and breadth of Amy's knowledge and skill as a bodyworker is unmatched. Ian performed massage to my neck, shoulder, scalp and jaw on the side of the affected ear and was able to loosen the chronically tight muscles of the area, giving me added relief and supporting the wonderful acupuncture work Amy performed. I am a massage therapist myself, and I have received work from a plethora of other providers. Amy and Ian stand head and shoulders above them all. If you need bodywork (and we all do,) go to the bodyworkers that the bodyworkers go-to. Their vast and diverse menu is guaranteed to hold a treatment or treatment combination that will work to help give you the relief and healing your body needs and deserves.

I've was in near constant pain for two years following surgery for a herniated disc. I scheduled an acupuncture appointment at the recommendation of a friend and it changed my life. Amy is an angel. Her knowledge, precision, patience, and willingness to listen and help has alleviated so much pain. I finally feel like I'm getting my life back. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner. I cannot recommend Pittsburgh Acupuncture and Massageworks enough.
-Annie S
It's hard to summarize something that is wonderful for others...I'll try. I've had significant back problems for 15 years after herniating discs in my back when I was 20. One acupuncture, needling and scraping treatment from Amy and I left the office with a back that felt totally normal for the first time in 15 years. I couldn't believe it - very thankful I gave this place a try. Now we are working on my torn hamstring and migraines - I am a believer. The staff is calm and confident - trustworthy and respectful. Highest marks all around.

Amy introduced me to acupuncture and I've been forever changed! Nothing else gets my muscles to release quite like this + it's a comfortable and relaxing environment. Pittsburgh Acupuncture and Massageworks is top notch and I recommend it to all of my friends.
