What it is

Acupuncture Services in Hazlet, NJ

Acupuncture has served as a principal healing practice for over 3,000 years, getting its origins in ancient China. From its inception the art of acupuncture has been used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease, as well as improve overall general health. The techniques are based on the theory of meridians, or pathways leading to specific points where energy flows within the body.

Early practitioners formulated a comprehensive map of the body demonstrating hundreds of these specific points where the flow of energy could be diverted or corrected through stimulation with the insertion of tiny, hair-thin needles. These points have very specific and powerful effects on the organs, glands, joints, muscles, ligaments and nervous/circulatory/lymphatic/digestive/immune systems. Since illness is thought to be the consequence of an imbalance or blockage of the meridians, stimulation of these specific points restores the body’s natural flow of energy so the body can repair itself.

Stimulation of these points by gentle insertion of these hair-thin needles produces and incites a deep response in the central nervous system, dilates blood vessels, generates the arrival of numerous healing elements to the affected area and helps support and restore peripheral nerves. Scientific research has demonstrated that Acupuncture has a strong effect by naturally stimulating endorphins, serotonin, cortisol, ACTH, anti-inflammatory and other immune modulated responses to help maintain health and wellness.
