Acupuncture works by inserting fine needles into energy points of the body, and there are hundreds of them. These are called meridians or channels –– all interconnected throughout the body. Acupuncture treatments are not painful; in fact, the needles are very, very thin. Most patients are actually surprised how relaxing and restorative it is. The main purpose for acupuncture is to restore the body’s balance so that the body can cure itself.

Treatments generally last between 20 and 30 minutes. First time patients will meet with the acupuncturist for an evaluation prior to beginning treatment.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is thousands of years old and is one of the five branches of Eastern Medicine. The five branches include nutrition, herbs, exercise (Qigong or Chi gong), massage or bodywork (TuiNa) and finally acupuncture. In certain parts of Asia acupuncture is the primary medical system.

Finding an Experienced Acupuncturist in Bergen County

“Before scheduling an appointment with a patient I have a 10 to 15 minute conversation on the phone. During this discussion we talk about the patients concerns and we discuss how acupuncture can benefit the patient. This gives us an opportunity to get to know one another before coming into my office. I have found this to be extremely effective to having a patient feel more comfortable about receiving acupuncture treatment. I encourage everyone when selecting an acupuncturist to have an initial conversation to make sure that this is the right acupuncturist for you.”
