What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a tool used in order to facilitate treating illness or dysfunction in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
There are many different modalities in which acupuncture is practiced. Traditionally, extremely thin needles are inserted into areas on the skin, or acupuncture points, to create a systemic reaction in your body, allowing the practitioner to direct the energy (qi) to different places, reasserting the body’s ability to self-heal/regulate. More modernly, acupressure and cold lasers are being implemented to create a similar reaction.
Other facets of Chinese Medicine include:
- herbal prescriptions (teas, tinctures, & supplements)
- fire cupping (see Michael Phelps)
- moxibustion (burned herb)
- auricular (ear) acupuncture
- tui na (Chinese massage)

Before I saw Dr. Kristina I was struggling with infertility issues. Through her guidance and care, we slowly came up with a care plan to overcome the challenges my husband and I were facing. Now I am sitting here holding my 6 month old son, celebrating the most joyous moments of my life thus far. Thank you, Dr. Kristina.
Testimonials
I started to receive acupuncture from Dr. Kristina to address healing of trauma from my childhood. My first session gave me the feeling of complete tranquility which
rapidly allowed me to go deep within myself and face long held emotions of grief, anger and even rage. In the past couple of months I have integrated my inner child
and am whole. Thank you, Dr. Kristina, for your clarity and sensitivity in serving me.
I have been a patient of Kristina Cabales for almost two years. She is kind and compassionate to my needs. Always willing to adjust her schedule to squeeze me in when necessary. Absolutely the best.

Dr. Kristina and Modern Sage Acupuncture have really changed the way I look at western medicine. I arrived at acupuncture 7 years ago and have been able to successfully remedy many mental and physical problems I was experiencing. The best thing about Doctor Kristina is that she can really feel the energy in your body and know where the block is and correct it in no time
I first decided to try acupuncture when De Quervain's tenosynovitis debilitated my right hand. Through Dr. Kristina's treatment, I was able to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the pain and return to activity as normal. Although that particular issue has cleared up, I've continued acupuncture to better deal with anxiety and broader muscle tension. The calming atmosphere and her compassionate energy make each appointment a wonderful opportunity to take a break, breathe, and just be present with yourself for a little while. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact her care continues to have on me!

Meet the Practitioner
Dr. Kristina Cabales, DACM L.Ac
Hi! I’m Dr. Kristina, a Doctor of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbs. I graduated from Pacific College of Health and Sciences- San Diego (formerly PCOM) with both a Master’s and a Doctorate. In 2021 I relocated to Long Island and began my practice in Oakdale. Since my return to the island (I grew up on the south shore) I have enjoyed treating a wide array of patients and ailments, including infertility, pediatrics, orthopedic pain, trauma, anxiety, women’s health, digestive issues, and much more.
In addition to my passion for helping patients heal in all aspects of their lives, I also love hiking, running, paddle boarding, and reading. I love traveling, trying new things, and expanding my knowledge- in my field, as well as, outside of it. I look forward to seeing my patients each and every day and love meeting new people.
