At my Warwick, RI acupuncture clinic, I work with patients seeking acupuncture for pain management, fertility and infertility, stress and anxiety, as well as many other health concerns.
Some of the pain conditions I commonly treat include back pain, neck pain, knee pain, sciatica, arthritis, joint pain, injuries, Lyme disease-associated pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, and muscle pain.
I also work with all types of fertility patients. Please visit the Fertility page for more in-depth information.
In addition to pain management and fertility, I treat patients with a wide variety of health concerns. Many conditions respond quite well to acupuncture.

Acupuncture RI is a warm environment, and patients feel at ease from the moment they walk in. Dr. Ryan will help you to feel comfortable, and you will know that you can talk with her and share your health concerns in a non-judgmental environment. She spends a good amount of time with each patient to develop an effective plan that gets your body back into balance, and help you to be free of pain and stress.
One patient commented that, “Whenever I leave acupuncture I feel super happy and relaxed. I have a smile on my face all day and nobody can make me feel bad.”
Acupuncture uses small, thin needles to enhance the healing process. These needles are placed at acupuncture points throughout your body. It is often a painless process, and most people fall asleep during the treatments and find it to be a very relaxing experience!
Acupuncture RI welcomes new patients and inquiries so please do not hesitate to call and ask any questions you may have!

With the rise in opiate addiction and side effects of other pain killers, acupuncture is proving to be a growing field in the natural pain management world.

Meet Dr. Ryan:
I am a Rhode Island native and have been practicing acupuncture in Rhode Island for more than 25 years.
After studying and practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, I returned home to Rhode Island and opened my practice in 2002.
I graduated from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica in 2002, where I completed a comprehensive four-year program encompassing acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and Western medical studies. I then completed a one-year acupuncture internship at UCLA Medical Center. Prior to that, I attended Boston College undergraduate and Providence College pre-med.
My approach is holistic and highly individualized. I take the time to listen to my patients and look at the whole picture, including nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and other factors that may be affecting their health.
My goal is to create a warm, comfortable environment where patients feel heard and genuinely cared for.

Reviews of Acupuncture RI, Dr. Sara Ryan
8/1/2013
Sara's great. I'm more sensitive to the needles than most people, and Sara figured this out right away. Within a few treatments, she had refined my treatment and all was golden. I have recurring back pain, and it just melts away after treatment. I also have acid reflux and ulcer problems, and Sara was able to notch down my "heat" so that i weaned myself off of chronic western meds. She's also very well-versed in nutrition, and drug side-effects/interactions, and recognizes when symptoms are the result of something ingested. For example, i asked if something could be done about some tinnitis that had just appeared, and she asked me if i have been taking antibiotics. In fact, i had just gotten off a round of antibiotics. That kind of awareness blows my mind. My pcp would not only not make a connection, but poopoo the whole idea. She also listens and learns about your routine and daily lifestyle, much the way a native-american shaman would do. You'd be surprised how many ailments are caused by the way you sit or the people whose company you keep. Sara picks up on this stuff and makes you aware of it. I have to add, i actually live in Boston and drive down an hour to see her. I've tried other acupuncturists in the Boston area just to avoid the commute, but ... i've gone back to Sara. I'll also add that she had been recommended to me by colleaugues at the Federal Reserve Bank who had used her services, one for back pain, the other for trouble conceiving (and had tried ALL the humiliating treatments that western medicine offers) (... she has a baby now !).

I have seen Dr. Ryan weekly for a couple of months now. I had never had acupuncture treatment prior so I was not sure what to expect, if anything. Dr. Ryan has been fantastic to work with and sincerely cares about her patients well being. I find her to be articulate, informed, and above all, easy to talk to in a therapeutic setting. The sessions are always prompt, relaxing, and hygenic.

I have seen Dr. Ryan on and off since she was first recommended by a friend in 2005. She is both professional and very personable, and is a knowledgeable and skilled practitioner of acupuncture and oriental medicine. She goes above and beyond and I have been very pleased with the treatment she has provided me. I recommend her highly.

I have struggled with lower back pain for years. I have seen countless practitioners from physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. While helpful in their own right, the only procedure that gives me immediate and lasting relief is from Dr. Sara Ryan. Her manner is professional and caring. I could not offer a higher recommendation. Thank you!

After trying all sorts of interventions to try to get pregnant (medical and naturopathic) sessions with Sara did the trick! Three babies later, she gets all of the credit. Her office is a sanctuary and her work is painless and effective. What more could you ask for?!
