If you've filed acupuncture under "backs and knees only," it's time for an update. In a large everyday-clinic study, people who added acupuncture to their care were more likely to move past a depression diagnosis at six months—nearly half, compared to about a third without it (Jin, 2022).\n\nThis isn't about replacing therapy or medication. It's about giving yourself every advantage. The acupuncture group also needed fewer medication adjustments and fewer sleeping pills—because when sleep improves and anxiety drops, the whole day feels different (Jin, 2022).\n\nAt Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness, we see it all the time: clients relax deeply during sessions, wake feeling softer, and report calmer, steadier evenings. Care can be modern and natural at the same time.\n\nIf that resonates with you, reach out—call us at 201-296-5255 or visit www.gpacenter.comnnCitation: Jin, L., Xu, J., Wang, W., et al.

You're not broken. Your system just needs a little nudge back to its natural rhythm.

Acupuncture meets you where you are—calming the nervous system, helping melatonin levels balance, and turning restless nights into steadier sleep. A large review of clinical trials found people slept about 45 minutes longer each night while feeling their sleep quality genuinely improve (Marcuzzi et al., 2023).

Because good care isn't just medical—it's personal. We listen to your story, then create a treatment plan that helps your body remember how to rest.

If that sounds like what you need, you'll feel at home at Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness. Call 201-296-5255 or visit www.gpacenter.com to get started.

When you think acupuncture, you probably think back pain. But here's the surprise: it's actually a nervous system reset button.

In one study, students receiving acupuncture saw their stress drop by roughly a third—compared to barely any change in the control group. Bonus: they also reported better sleep and stronger resilience. And those benefits lasted a full month later (Puhan et al., 2019).

What's happening beneath the surface? Those small needles gently activate your vagus nerve, helping smooth your heart rhythm and shift you out of fight-or-flight mode into rest-and-digest.

If your days feel too loud, we offer a quiet space to reset. Find Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness at https://www.gpacenter.com or call 201-296-5255.

Think acupuncture is only for sore muscles? Think again. Research shows it may actually boost pregnancy rates when used alongside IVF (Wise, 2021).

It's not magic—it's your body's natural physiology at work. Acupuncture helps your nervous system relax, reduces stress hormones, and improves blood flow to the uterus. All helpful on transfer day.

At Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness, we partner with your fertility team to provide simple, calming, evidence-based care. Want to talk through timing or what a session feels like?

Pills can help, but they don't always teach your system how to stay calm. In several trials, acupuncture helped more people feel better than standard reflux meds—and fewer people had symptoms return weeks later, with fewer side effects along the way (Tsai, 2020).

Because reflux isn't just "too much acid." It's often a timing and tone issue—the valve between your esophagus and stomach can be lax, your stomach may empty slowly, and stress can nudge everything the wrong way.

At Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness, we focus on solutions over suppression: gentler breathing before meals, mindful eating, and acupuncture that encourages the valve to close and your stomach to move food along. You'll feel the difference where it matters—at bedtime, at brunch, and in your chest.

If your plan needs a rethink, we're here: https://www.gpacenter.com • 201-296-5255

Because care isn't just medical—it's personal.

If you believe healing should be safe and collaborative, you're in good company. Even the NHS notes that acupuncture can help with persistent shoulder pain and mobility, works well alongside physiotherapy, and has a low chance of side effects (NHS Scotland, 2021).

We listen first, then create simple, doable steps—from needling that quiets the pain to exercises that rebuild your reach and strength.

Come as you are to Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness. Call or text 201-296-5255, or explore https://www.gpacenter.com to see how we work.

When chemo days get spinny, you want the room to stop moving. Acupuncture is one of the gentlest ways we know to steady your stomach and calm your nervous system.

Research shows people who received acupuncture during chemotherapy had noticeably fewer nausea episodes and felt better overall—sleep, energy, and mood all improved compared with control groups (Madsen et al.).

How does it work? We help your body shift into rest-and-digest mode and smooth out the gut–brain signals that trigger nausea. That inner-wrist point often used for motion sickness bands? It's a star player here.

If you or someone you love wants steadier days during treatment, Golden Proportion Acupuncture & Wellness is here to help. We tailor supportive care to fit your schedule and work alongside your oncology team. Visit www.gpacenter.com or call 201-296-5255.
