Want to feel better? Your acupuncturist is probably going to want to see you more than once!

We need multiple acupuncture sessions as part of a treatment plan because acupuncture is ✨cumulative✨. What this means is, each session builds on the previous session to bring you closer and closer to inner balance.

You don’t go to the gym one time for a six pack so why would you go to acupuncture once for your desired outcome?

Your acupuncturist will develop a treatment plan that suits your needs for healing, likely starting with once or twice per week treatments, and expanding into more spread out treatments as they get you feeling better.

Come start your acupuncture journey or pick up where you left off!

What is Red Light Therapy and why do we love it so much at the Acupuncture Center?

We are so glad you asked! 🤗

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level wavelengths to reduce inflammation and pain, and to speed up healing time. It works by stimulating cellular energy (mitochondria) to help repair tissue and improve circulation.

It is particularly useful in pain cases for arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint stiffness. We also love it for cosmetic use- after microneedling or with cosmetic acupuncture, red light accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and maximizes elastin and collagen production.

It’s also been studied to aid in hair regrowth, reducing acne and wrinkles, improved wound healing, and improving sleep quality and seasonal mood disorders.

What’s not to love? 😍 ask us about it at your next treatment!

Yessssss! We have had so much success with our track and field athletes!

Ice is for dead things, not living tissue trying to heal.
A sprain is not a fish on a tray.
Yes, ice can numb pain. But pain relief and tissue repair are not the same thing.
Before you automatically reach for the ice pack, ask whether you are helping recovery or just changing sensation.

What is the difference between dry needling and trigger point needling?

Spoiler alert- it’s all Acupuncture! And they’re actually the same needling technique.

Often times these terms are used interchangeably, and it certainly can be confusing. But the approach is the same. In this technique, thin needles are inserted into taut bands of muscle called ‘trigger points’ to induce a ‘fasciculation’ or local twitch response. This helps to break the cycle of pain, releases tension, increases blood flow, and makes muscles easier to retrain and rebalance.

Did you know?- Acupuncturists go through thousands of hours of hands on training to learn this skill set, and not every other practitioner is required to be an expert. In the State of New Jersey, Licensed Acupuncturists are required to obtain no less than 2500 hours of supervised clinical experience while they master their craft, plus 30 hours per every 2 years of continuing education. Other professionals learn to needle with an average of only about 40 hours of professional education.

You’ll probably want to come to the experts 😉

Trigger point therapy, also known as dry needling, performed by a licensed acupuncturist can help release muscle tension, improve mobility, reduce recovery time, and support better sports performance by helping the body move more efficiently

Why does pain seem like it feels worse in the cold weather?

Did you notice a winter uptick in your pain, tension, or migraines?

Cold weather can cause blood vessels to constrict or tighten, which reduces blood flow and causes our muscles and joints to feel stiff or tense.

Muscles will tighten and contract in response to cold (think: shivering!) as your body tries to lift its temperature back up. This additional tension can cause sudden acute spasms, flare ups of old patterns or a worsening of already present pain symptoms.

Colder weather and storms in particular come hand in hand with changes in atmospheric pressure. These pressure changes can affect the muscles and joints or bring on more headaches.

So, what can acupuncture do to help?

Acupuncture works to increase blood flow, soften tension, helps to amplify our healing response, and tends to lessen the duration of injuries. Acupuncture also helps the body release endorphins—natural chemicals that work like painkillers.

Let acupuncture help alleviate your arthritis, headaches, joint pain, fibromyalgia, TMJ, or any other discomforts the colder months have brought on. Then you can step into springtime feeling better!

We love to see Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the spotlight 😍

Check out this new article from the Guardian ( ) highlighting the explosive popularity of Chinese Medical knowledge and theory. Although it’s gained a lot of popularity lately, let’s not forget that it’s been around (and effective!) for thousands of years.

We are all for all things TCM, but as the article mentions- do beware of ‘“surface level” content that flattens or oversimplifies the health benefits of TCM,’. Chinese medicine is best taught and shared through practitioners who have studied and perfected it for years in practice, not your TikTok feed!

Point spotlight: Ear Shenmen 😍

Auricular acupuncture (acupuncture performed in the microsystem of the Ear) is powerful, effective and fascinating. This point, called “Ear Shenmen” or “Ear Shen Men” is also known as the “Spirit Gate”. This point is usually chosen by your acupuncturist to anchor the spirit, calm the mind, soothe the Heart, restore balance, and ease stress or anxiety. It’s a great point for any anxious moments and helps to quiet racing thoughts and aid in better sleep.

This ear acu-point is a great place for your acupuncturist to add a pair of needles during treatment, or to send you home with an ear seed or press tack for continued stimulation. This is even a great place to apply gentle acupressure on your own, to encourage the mind to settle or to get through a stressful event.

Placing a seed, tack, or gentle pressure on Shenmen will help to continuously remind the body to step away from stress. You can press on the point as few or as many times a day as desired to activate a calming response. Think of this as “training” your nervous system to go into relaxation mode, so that it gets better at it!
