Sports Medicine Acupuncture & Dry Needling Clinic
located in Midtown Manhattan.
I specialize in a range of holistic treatments designed to relieve pain, restore healthy movement patterns and improve overall physical performance. Whether you’re dealing with an acute injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to improve mobility and strength, I am here to help you feel your best.
My care is tailored to your specific needs: whether you are a competitive athlete, a busy professional who spends long hours at a desk, or a retired knitter who wants to stay active and enjoy the activities you love.
I offer a variety of treatments to address your unique needs:
Acupuncture for Pain Relief and Muscle Tension: Acupuncture has been used for centuries across multiple cultures to reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote the body's natural healing processes. Whether you suffer from chronic pain or are recovering from an acute injury, acupuncture treatments can provide targeted relief.
Dry Needling for Muscle Tension: Dry needling targets muscle knots and stiffness by inserting thin needles into the affected muscles. This technique is particularly effective for treating muscle pain, tension, and improving flexibility.
Cupping Therapy for Improved Circulation: Cupping therapy helps relieve muscle stiffness and tension by improving blood flow, alleviating pain and releasing the fascia. It is often used alongside other treatments for enhanced healing and recovery.
Pilates for Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: Pilates strengthens the core, improves flexibility, and helps you move more efficiently. It’s an excellent complement to acupuncture, offering rehabilitative benefits, increased body awareness, and enhanced physical performance.
Personalized Treatment Plans: I believe in a personalized, nuanced, holistic approach to treatment. Your journey starts with an in-depth consultation to understand your specific needs and goals. From there, I tailor a treatment plan that combines acupuncture, massage, cupping, dry needling, and Pilates to optimize your health.

A key concept to understand about the body is that skeletal position dictates muscular function, and muscular function dictates skeletal position. The two exist in a continuous reciprocal relationship.
Hi there, I’m Anna Hajosi, a Sports Medicine Acupuncturist (NYS), Pilates Instructor, and Registered Dietitian (Hungary). I created my clinic to help people overcome pain, limitations in mobility, develop balanced strength and create efficient movement patterns. I believe in a personalized, nuanced and disciplined treatment approach. Using acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, herbal medicine, and Pilates-based rehabilitation, I support patients from initial injury through to full functional recovery. I understand the importance of getting back to full function. I love exercising - I’ve completed a half and full Ironman, the NYC Marathon, and I used to be a pacer for Adidas Runners NYC. Nowadays my workout routine consists of Pilates and Krav Maga, along with casual runs in Central Park. Education: • Masters Degree: Acupuncture: Tri State College of Acupuncture, USA • Bachelor's Degree: Registered Dietitian: Semmelweis University, Hungary • Advanced Needling Training, Beijing, China • Sports Medicine Acupuncture Training, USA • Comprehensive Pilates Instructor, USA • The Heritage Training (Pilates), USA. • Kampo (Herbal Medicine), USA Professional Interest: • The science of movement through a holistic lens Personal Interest: • Ironman Triathlete • Pilates • Krav Maga |

Moxa
|
The name comes from Moxibustion, which is a procedure in Chinese medicine when an herb "mugwort" is burned on / above the skin to promote healing rather than using an acupuncture needle.
Born in April 2026, Moxa is currently working toward his most important qualification: Professional Good Boy. He’s still in training, but he takes his responsibilities very seriously, especially when it comes to welcoming visitors, keeping us company, and occasionally supervising the office. |
Location
"I’m only two sessions into some dry needling and PT but I’m very impressed so far. I appreciate that Anna is an accomplished endurance athlete herself so very relatable. My symptoms are much improved post treatment and she has also diagnosed other areas for us to work on. Highly recommended - she is now part of my treatment/ongoing maintenance rotation. Facilities are great too and very convenient for midtown office types."

"Great dry needling clinic to relieve muscle tension.
I visit every so often when my body is tight. She’s great releasing muscle knots."
"Saw Anna for low back pain that I have dealt with for quite some time. She treated me with acupuncture to release my stiff areas, and also gave me exercises to strengthen my muscles that were weak. She has deep experience in dealing with pain and recovery. First time in years I am pain free. Thank you Anna, I highly recommend her care."
