Meet Bill Cohan, L.Ac., MSTOM
Founder | Licensed Acupuncturist | Pain Science Enthusiast
Hi, I’m Bill, the founder of Happy Back Acupuncture. My journey into acupuncture started with my own chronic pain after years of athletic injuries. I had tried everything, but nothing worked until I discovered acupuncture. Not only did it help me heal, but it also gave me a completely new way to think about the body, pain, and recovery.
I studied at the Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City, where I earned my Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine and trained in both trigger point and electro-acupuncture techniques. I also have over 800 hours of advanced manual therapy training under my belt, which I integrate into my work for deeper, more lasting results.
What drives my practice is simple: I’ve been through it, and I know how frustrating it is to feel limited by your body. My goal is to help you get your life back, whether that means sleeping better, walking pain-free, getting back to your workouts, or just feeling like yourself again.
What We Stand For
Relief That Lasts
We don’t do cookie-cutter care. Your treatment plan is designed specifically for your body, your goals, and your healing timeline.
Movement Matters
We care just as much about how you move as how you feel. Our treatments aim to restore strength, mobility, and ease, not just reduce symptoms.
Modern Meets Traditional
Our techniques are rooted in both time-tested acupuncture principles and modern clinical research, including electro-acupuncture and trigger point work.
Patient Education
We want you to leave each session not only feeling better, but also understanding why and how things are improving.
