About
Dr. Orna Iskhakov, D.Ac.
A Doctor of Acupuncture licensed in New York, focused on pain management and cosmetic acupuncture. Calm, thorough and practical, in English and Russian.
Orna's approach is simple: understand what is really going on, explain it clearly, then treat it with care and precision. She sees one patient at a time, sets goals with you, and tells you honestly when something else would serve you better.

How she works
Three promises to every patient
You'll be heard
Every visit starts with how you're doing today. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is scripted.
You'll know the plan
How many visits, what should change and by when. Progress is reviewed every fourth visit.
You'll get an honest answer
If acupuncture isn't helping, she'll say so and refer you to someone who can.
The name
Why Fifth Element
Chinese medicine describes the body through five elements that work as one system. Health comes from keeping them in balance, and every treatment plan here starts from that idea.
Growth and flexibility. Tendons, the liver, the ability to adapt.
Warmth and connection. The heart, circulation and joy.
Nourishment. Digestion and a steady center.
Clarity and letting go. The lungs, skin and breath.
Rest and reserves. Sleep, the kidneys, resilience.
