Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice of stimulating the body's bioelectric energy and bringing it into balance. According to Chinese medicine, illnesses or symptoms in the body, mind or spirit can be associated with disharmony in a person's vital energy or Chi. Radiant good health is reflected by a balance in this vital energy. The body's energy is said to flow along channels or meridians. "Acupuncture points" along these meridians are directly tied to various organs, body parts, and bodily functions. When an organ is out of balance or there is an illness, a tenderness is usually detected at the corresponding acupuncture point, aiding in the diagnosis of the underlying causes of an illness. These points act like dimmer switches, allowing the acupuncturist to turn up the bioelectric energy when it is low, or turn it down when it is too high, thus allowing the body to regain its balance or health.

This 5000-year-old science involves the use of special needles, often supported by Chinese herbal treatments to stimulate a return to balance and a restoration of well-being. The practice of acupuncture is regulated through licensure by the State of New Jersey. Thousands of documented clinical cases show the value of acupuncture treatments.
