Acupuncture

​Acupuncture is an ancient, all-natural, and successful form of holistic medical treatment. Originating in China and one of the oldest healing systems in the world, acupuncture helps to restore your body's balance and improve your overall health.

 

Acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny needles, strategically placed at various points in the body to provide a powerful healing effect. It does so by encouraging the smooth flow of blood and energy, breaking up "blockages"  associated with health problems and medical conditons. The energies produced by acupuncture activate responses in your body’s immune, circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems, and help the body to heal internally

 

There is virtually no side effects when acupuncture needles are administered  properly. Acupuncture needles are sterile, disposable (used only once) and are regulated by the FDA. The patient can watch as the needle is taken from the sealed packet prior to insertion and view its disposal into the sharps container following withdrawal. Our acupuncturists are licensed by the New Jersey State Medical Board and certified by a national governing board.

 

Acupuncture is virtually painless. The typical responce to needle insertion is comforting and restorative. It should never be painful, but some minimal sensation is indicative of a therapeutic response. Our acupuncturists are experts in making sure your experience is as pleasant and rewarding as possible.

 

What our acupuncturists specialize in:

Pain Management

Acupuncture is especially good at helping to relieve pain. It does so by opening up blockages that cause pain and by triggering the release of endorphines which help reduce pain.

 

 

Stress Management

Acupuncture, by virtue of it's calming nature, is very effective in managing stress. It is used to regulate blood pressure and help detoxify at the same time. It has been successfully used by the military to reduce battle stress.

 

 

 

Weight Loss

Acupuncture has been used in recent years to help people manage their weight. It does so by controlling appetite cravings and enhancing metabolism. Combined with sensible eating and exercise, acupuncture can help you attain proper weight and improved healh overall.

Women's Health

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine combined, have shown to improve both men's and women's health, but they are particularly effective in treating women's health issues such as PMS, irregular menses, and much more.

Fertility

Many couples have enjoyed successful pregnancy as a result of having included acupuncture as part of their fertility experience. Acupuncture reduces stress, but also improves those out-of-balance body factors that may have contributed to failed pregnancy.

 

 

Depression & Anxiety

Although often complex, depression and anxiety can both be controlled by effective acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture calms, but also restores balance, thereby reducing some of the factors responsible for these debilitating conditions.
