How Can Acupuncture Help?
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine complement conventional medicine. They are not substitutes for any conventional medical advice, medications or treatments. As a complement to conventional medicine, acupuncture can treat both acute and chronic problems such as insomnia, digestive and elimination problems, headaches and migraines, sleeping disorders, chronic pain, stopping smoking and eating disorders, weight loss, and much more.
Acupuncture can help to reduce or eliminate the need for medications for many conditions including narcotics and other pain-relievers, but your family or prescribing doctor must always be consulted in such instances. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at illnesses from a different perspective than conventional medicine.

The basic tenet of Chinese Medicine is that we have a life force that energizes all the metabolic activity in our bodies, and this life force (often referred to as "Qi") is always moving and flowing. When Qi flows unimpeded, we are healthy. When Qi is blocked, we get pain and ultimately disease. The strategy of the Practitioner of Oriental Medicine is to find the areas of blocked energy, and help remove those blocks, which in turn helps the body return to its natural healthy state.
This difference in perspective means that Traditional Chinese Medicine can often make sense of illnesses that Western medicine has difficulty treating. In cases where Western medicine may be limited to prescribing medication for symptom management, acupuncture may be able to intervene and encourage the body in a self-healing process. Acupuncture Chinese Medicine is currently the fastest growing healing modality in the country.
What Sets Us Apart
Many acupuncturists use very similar protocols for their patients. At the Marlboro Acupuncture Center at Advanced Wellness, patients receive an individualized treatment plan specifically designed to meet their needs.

The Acupuncture Center has multiple in-house medical professionals, such as
medical doctors, chiropractic physicians, and physical therapists to whom we can refer patients when necessary. This is to ensure that patients are getting the most comprehensive care possible for their condition resulting in the quickest and best possible results.
What Happens During Your Office Visit?
When you first enter the office of an acupuncturist, the practitioner will sit with you and perform what we call an intake. We are interested in all your symptoms and medical history, which helps us to determine our treatment strategy. Once your diagnosis is made a treatment plan will be formulated. This treatment plan is a guide explaining the steps of your recovery.
Acupuncture Needles
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles in the specific sites or acupuncture points along the body’s meridians. The word ‘acupuncture’ often invokes the image of needles protruding from the skin. This image can be uncomfortable and even frightening to some. Acupuncture is often misinterpreted as a painful experience and can cause anxiety in some patients. The first and primary fact regarding acupuncture is that it need not be a frightening experience. While acupuncture does involve the insertion of six to eight needles into the body during each treatment session, the needles are smaller than injection needles and have a doweled end as opposed to hypodermic needles which have a cutting end. Because acupuncture needles are small enough to fit into the central hole of a normal injection needle and are doweled, tissue damage and bruising are minimized.
While the insertion of an acupuncture needles into the skin is not devoid of sensation, the general consensus among acupuncture patients is that the needle insertion is not painful. Many patients are often surprised to learn that the needle has already been inserted into their skin while still awaiting the sting and prick they generally associate with needles.
The practitioner may also stimulate the acupuncture points using other methods including Moxibustion (warming and stimulation of a point via the burning of a Chinese herb called Moxa), Cupping (suction cups made of pyrex glass or plastic and applied to the skin), Laser Therapy, Electro-Stimulation, Acupressure/Shiatsu and Massage, in order to re-establish the flow of Qi.
