Acupuncture at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation

Acupuncture is a technique of using fine needles at precise points on the body to encourage natural healing and improve functioning. Acupuncture originated in China thousands of years ago and has recently become a respected form of therapy in the United States. The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness relies on concepts of vital energy, energetic balance, and energetic imbalance.

At the core of Acupuncture is the notion that a type of energy known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), flows through energy pathways in the body. Each pathway corresponds to one organ, or group of organs, that manages particular body functions. Achieving the proper flow of Qi is thought to create health and wellness. Acupuncturists believe that an unbalance of Qi can cause disease. The fine needles are inserted at points where the energy pathways are close to the skin.

Today, there are several schools throughout our country that teach acupuncture. In New Jersey, there are only a handful of Certified Acupuncturists. At Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation, we provide skilled New Jersey Certified Acupuncturists with years of experience and knowledge to get you started with acupuncture therapy.

Acupuncture and its Benefits on Numerous Illnesses and Injuries

Acupuncture treatment can be effectively used to treat a number of illnesses and injuries. It is done so by relieving bodily energy imbalances and blockages by the usage of hair-like needles placed at specific points on the body, painlessly improving health. Following is a brief list of disorders that acupuncture can treat:

Acupuncture and Overall Wellness

Acupuncture produces improved energy and biochemical balance which results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities and promoting physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture can not only help heal a number of health problems, the procedure itself can also encourage relaxation and calmness. Many patients of our New Jersey acupuncture practice express that the treatment creates a sense of balance and peace. Acupuncture provides a mechanism for one to be simultaneously treated for his or her illnesses and remove stress and worries.

Difficulty sleeping, irritability, and even restlessness can also be treated with our acupuncture program. Fertility problems can also be potentially treated with acupuncture therapy. Numerous women have difficulties conceiving due to stress and anxiety. Treating stress and anxiety via acupuncture can help make the conception process easier.

Preventive Care by Acupuncture

The best healthcare is one that creates health as opposed to one that treats disease. Acupuncture is uniquely qualified for preventative care and keeping your body healthy because it is rooted in holistic healthcare. By treating the whole body as a dynamic system, our acupuncturists treat the symptom and the whole body; helping it stay healthy and strong. When the body is healthy, disease is prevented.

Acupuncture has been known to increase energy and strength while boosting the immune system. Strengthening the immune system via acupuncture will help the body fight off colds and infections. Changes in weather and seasons can also affect our bodies. Acupuncture treatments during these transitions can help prepare our bodies for the upcoming changes. Athletes and other active people can also benefit from acupuncture. Early treatments will help these individuals in the long-run by healing smaller aches and pains before they develop into career ending injuries.

Quit Smoking Naturally with Acupuncture at Our Monmouth County Rehabilitation Facility

Some people are looking to quit smoking naturally through acupuncture. Acupuncture is successful with smoking cessation and has turned a growing number of cigarette smokers into permanent ex-smokers. Our Red Bank acupuncture team has a program designed to help make this a reality in a very short period of time. Treatments take all of your symptoms into account and aim at balancing the energy within the body to optimize health. The Acupuncture treatments focus on jitters, cravings, irritability and restlessness; all symptoms that people commonly complain about when they quit. It also aids in relaxation and detoxification.

Although not common, we have had patients lose their craving to smoke after just one treatment. Most of our Monmouth county patients need a program of several treatments to help them quit smoking naturally with acupuncture. Acupuncture is not a magic cure in the treatment of any addiction, including smoking. But, acupuncture is effective in making it easier to quit and remain smoke-free for good.

Pain Relief with Acupuncture at Our Monmouth County Rehabilitation Facility

In Chinese Medicine, pain is considered blocked energy. Acupuncture has been a primary modality for thousands of years to provide people pain relief by removing this blocked energy through acupuncture needles. It is believe that acupuncture contributes to pain relief by releasing opioid peptides in the brain that have a natural painkilling effect. Acupuncture may also alter the secretion of specific neurotransmitters that play a direct role in the sensation of pain.

Our licensed acupuncturists are trained in the Chinese tradition. The treatments are painless and can provide immediate long term relief from acute and chronic pain. Conditions such as chronic severe low back pain, headaches, and neck pain are commonly treated here at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation.
