Mask Chiropractic-Acupuncture

Mask Chiropractic-Acupuncture is an acupuncturist in Staunton, VA, serving patients across the Shenandoah Valley with a full range of chiropractic and acupuncture services. The clinic offers X-ray analysis, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustment, auriculo-therapy, moxibustion, traditional vacuum cupping, shiatsu, and non-needle electronic procedures. Currently led by Drs. Andrew Mask and Leslie Mask Hayes, the practice draws on more than ten years of combined experience in integrative care, and the clinic holds a rating of 4.90 from its customers.

The clinic was founded in 1969 by Dr. Jack Mask, originally at the Professional Building on Johnson Street in Staunton before relocating to its present North Coalter Street location in the early 1970s. Dr. Jack Mask was a pioneering figure in chiropractic, having earned a Traditional Chinese Medical degree and studied acupuncture and moxibustion at Shanghai University. He later served as an academic consultant and teacher, and his book, Chiropractic Therapeutics, is recognized as the first Chinese textbook about chiropractic. He passed away in August 2005, and the practice has since been continued by his children, Drs. Andrew Mask and Leslie Mask Hayes, both Staunton natives who grew up alongside the family business.

Dr. Andrew Mask holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Parker College of Chiropractic and is a Fellow in the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture, with prior degrees from Blue Ridge Community College and Radford University. Dr. Leslie Mask Hayes holds the same chiropractic and acupuncture credentials, and together they carry forward a multi-generational practice that has treated multiple generations of Staunton families. The clinic operates from 639 N Coalter St, about a tenth of a mile from the Staunton YMCA and a half mile from the Staunton Post Office, with Augusta Health's Staunton clinic nearby on Statler Boulevard.

For more than fifty years, Mask Chiropractic-Acupuncture has remained a family-run practice rooted in Staunton, blending traditional and modern approaches to chiropractic and acupuncture care.
