"Dr. Zachar is the best in the business. I had no idea he could place a needle in a random place in my wrist and take away the pain in my feet. I have now done over a dozen sessions and have been fixing all kinds of issues. They also helped me get my treatment covered by the VA."

"I highly recommend coming here. It helps with my anxiety, muscles release which decreases pain — primarily in my elbow and along the spine. Acupuncture helps ground and steady my breaths, transforming energy to continue healing."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about acupuncture and our practice

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture uses ultra-thin, sterile needles — much finer than needles used for injections. Most patients feel little to no discomfort; many describe a gentle sensation of pressure or warmth. Most people find it deeply relaxing and many even fall asleep during sessions.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture primarily works by increasing circulation and blood flow to specific areas, stimulating the body's own healing processes. Modern research shows it increases endorphins — our body's natural pain-killing molecules — and helps shift the nervous system from a state of stress ('fight or flight') into a restorative, healing state ('rest and digest').

What will my first visit be like?

Dr. Zachar will review your health history, ask about your goals, and perform an initial examination. He'll then create a personalized treatment plan and typically perform your first session the same visit. Wear comfortable, loose clothing and plan for about 60–75 minutes. Most patients feel noticeably different after just one treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

Every patient and condition is unique. Many feel positive changes within the first few treatments. Chronic conditions may require 6–10 sessions for lasting results. Dr. Zachar will provide a personalized treatment plan with a recommended timeline during your first visit.

What does the initial consultation cost?

The initial consultation is $65. Many insurance plans cover acupuncture for medically necessary conditions such as chronic pain. We are a VA Community Care Provider and are in-network with most major insurance providers. Call our office or use our online insurance verification form to check your specific benefits before your first visit.

Do you accept VA benefits or insurance?

Yes. We are a proud VA Community Care Provider and accept VA benefits for eligible veterans. We are also in-network with most major insurance providers. Coverage varies by plan — we encourage you to call our office or use our insurance verification form at brevardaim.com to confirm your benefits before your appointment.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine takes a whole-person approach — addressing body, mind, and spirit. At Brevard AIM, we combine Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern techniques like dry needling, herbal medicine, nutrition counseling, and massage therapy to uncover and treat the root cause of your health issues — not just the symptoms.
