Silver Leaf Acupuncture

The dedicated acupuncturist at Silver Leaf Acupuncture, Margo Voskanian, is a licensed professional who has found personal success with acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. After struggling with gynecological and digestive issues, as well as back pain, during her high school and college years, Margo was introduced to acupuncture. This experience opened her eyes to the power of treating not just the symptoms but also the root cause of issues, which ultimately led her to pursue a career as an acupuncturist.

Margo completed her undergraduate studies in biology and worked in the pharmaceuticals industry before training as an acupuncturist at the New England School of Acupuncture. She earned a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) degree and a Diplomat of Oriental Medicine (Dipl. OM.) from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

With her background in biology and personal experience as a patient, Margo understands the curiosity and skepticism people may have about acupuncture. She is committed to addressing any questions or concerns her patients might have, offering a tailored treatment plan for each individual that listens to their unique needs and goals.
