Acupuncture

Cupping Therapy is a time-honored traditional treatment used by millions of people worldwide. Cupping uses suction to treat painful or swollen areas by increasing blood flow and lymph drainage to the skin, muscles, and underlying structures. It is remarkably effective in treating a variety of disorders.

When the cups are placed on the body, the pulling action of the cups engage the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows for a deep relaxed state. It is not unusual to fall asleep while receiving this treatment. People are often surprised at how relaxed, warm, and light they feel, hours and even days afterwards.

Cupping draws out toxins from the body, which helps maintain optimal health. Many chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, constipation, anxiety, fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, and neuralgia can be effectively treated with cupping. Traumatic injuries, stubborn orthopedic conditions, and slow-to-heal sports injuries can also be helped.

Cupping is a valuable adjunct treatment that aides in detoxification programs and weight loss protocols in addition to improving skin tone and turgor, all which help you look and feel your best.

Cupping can be combined with an Acupuncture treatment or used as a stand-alone treatment.

Does Acupuncture hurt?

For most patients, Acupuncture is a painless, comforting, and restorative form of therapy. Acupuncture should never be painful but the patient will have some sensation that is indicative of a therapeutic response. Often times the sensation will disappear within seconds. Many people feel no sensation at all. Always discuss any sensation or concerns with your provider.

Are there side effects?

Occasionally there may be bruising or minimal bleeding at the site of needle insertion. Also, some people may experience temporary muscle fatigue or soreness that rarely lasts more than one day. Please discuss any symptoms or concerns with your provider.

Is Acupuncture safe? Is it FDA approved?

There is minimal risk of injury and virtually no side effects when administered properly. The needles are sterile, regulated by the FDA, and used only once. All of the Acupuncturists who work at Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center are licensed by the New Jersey State Medical Board to practice in state, and they are certified by a national board.

NAET, Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique. Various health related disorders such as frequent headaches, chronic back pain, joint pain, body aches, chronic sinusitis, or bronchitis etcetera may be directly related to undiagnosed allergies and or sensitivities. When allergies and or sensitivities go undiagnosed it can lead to a weakened or over-reactive immune system, energy blockages and a decrease in brain function.

NAET treatments can remove energy blockages which allow the brain and body to work harmoniously thus allergies and disease no longer affect the body.

NAET, is a non-invasive, drug free, solution to detecting and alleviating allergies and sensitivites of all types using an array of energy balancing testing and treatments including acupuncture, acupressure and kinesiology.
