Sam Schikowitz, ND MS LAC
Acupuncturist
New Paltz, NY 12561
Expert Integral Healthcare for All Ages.
The goal of my practice is to bring more health, wholeness, comfort, and joy into the lives of those it touches. It is also a clearinghouse of health related information and a support to those in need of change. My personal mission is to heal, support, and co-create health, playfulness, and cooperation in individuals, our community, and the world. My personal philosophy of medicine is that everyone is a mysterious and wonderful being. As such, discovering the basis of a person’s condition and their personal path to wellness requires a thorough and careful evaluation. While some ailments may be common, the actual cause of the condition, and the path to healing may be different for every individual. That is why one of my goals has been to develop an understanding of and experience with many approaches to health, illness, and treatment, and to know how and when each approach will be most successful. For many, the cause of disease is a disconnection from their potential. In order to heal, people often need to find connection with life, find meaning, and realize that they can make a difference. These people must undergo a process of self-discovery. Learning what foods or activities their body likes, what their personal goals and preferences are, what brings meaning to their lives, and how their relationship to the people and places in their environment effects them are all important aspects of that process.

Acupuncture and Qigong Therapy
Chinese medicine treats the root cause. In Chinese medicine, the root cause is always an “energy diagnosis,” which tells us about the state of your energy in the body. Acupuncture is an art we commonly use in the clinic to treat a wide variety of conditions and health challenges. We even use acupuncture for “tune ups” or seasonal wellness visits, for people who enjoy acupuncture as a way of staying balanced, focused and healthy. We may use acupuncture to treat a common cold, injuries, or to support a cancer patient in their care. We may use acupuncture in the care of women’s health, men’s health, children’s medicine and fertility. Acupuncture is not only an ancient art, but rapidly becoming a modern science and integrated into western medical care for it’s very strongly positive effects, and “side effect free. Basically, it involves insertion of very tiny (very fine) needles into the skin along acupuncture points, to affect the flow of energy (qi) in the body. Qi flows along channels in the body to organs and cells in the body, nourishing and promoting blood flow along the way, by Chinese Medicine theory. When qi is abundant and flows freely, the body can have good health. Hence, abundant qi and circulation in the body is one of the main goals of treatment with Chinese medicine. It also feels nice. Peaceful, relaxing and calming to the body, mind and spirit… it is just good for your health. Clinical science and medicine is showing many ways that acupuncture is of benefit to your health. It is side effect free, reasonable to afford, and has the gift of addressing the root cause and not just treating symptoms. Herbal Medicines in Chinese medicine, herbal medicine is complex –and requires a skilled practitioner to diagnose and prescribe appropriate herbal combinations. Chinese medicine formulas balance herbs together to support each other and give optimal effect based upon energy diagnosis. As part of care, for those whom it is appropriate, herbal formulas may be recommended as part of your care. Medical Qigong — Also known as Qigong Therapy, or “External Qi Healing,” or “Energy Healing,” is an art that is perhaps the most ancient of all of the Chinese medicine healing arts. Qigong healing as a therapy is a peaceful art of healing with energy that is done in various ways, according to patient needs, in the clinic. It involves the practiioner helping the patient to remove energy blockages and restore balance and flow through peaceful healing mind/body techniques, some of which are ancient arts, as well as teaching meditations, mind/body methods and movement, visualization and sensing techniques so that the patient can work with their own energy to improve their health. It is peaceful, but also empowering. Anyone can learn qi healing techniques to improve their health. For many, it is a wonderful part of everyday life.

Read Full Bio A few facts about Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Whether the source of illness is physical, emotional, or spiritual, Chinese medical treatment can bring about the healing of not only your primary complaint but the many minor discomforts that may have accompanied it. Acupuncture works very well with Western biomedical protocols, and Elijah Hawken has considerable experience working alongside Medical Doctors, Registered Nurses, and Licensed Counselors in several different clinical settings. Chinese medicine can accelerate recovery from surgery, strengthen the immune system, and alleviate many of the unwanted side-effects of conventional treatment of major illnesses such as Hepatitis C and cancer. Acupuncture treatments are cumulative – each treatment builds on the previous one to restore you to health. Chinese medical treatment is a sound investment toward your continuing health. It is a preventative medicine, and if you do become ill, it can restore your health and well-being. When compared to the cost of pharmaceuticals, Chinese medical treatment is not only affordable, but can improve your primary concern as well as restore your overall well-being without the harmful side-effects that often result from taking prescription drugs. The time, money, and commitment put toward Chinese medical treatment restores health, increases energy, reduces stress, and has even been proven to reduce the amount of sick-leave taken from work. Over time, Chinese medical treatment often proves much more economical than conventional medical approaches to treating illness.
