I have been helping patients seeking pain relief since 2017 with former clinics in Yardley, PA, and Falls Township, PA. Now I am in Burlington, NJ. Most patients come to acupuncture for complex pain issues such as back pain, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and dance or sports injuries. Many who try acupuncture for the first time discover what my brother told me when I went to an acupuncturist the first time: "Don't be surprised if it helps with something you did not come for treatment for...." My specialty is working with nerve pain and neurological issues that includes brain injuries, nerve pain, and stroke rehabilitation.

Hamilton, NJ 08619
Traditional Chinese medicine sees the human body as an organic whole, a complete system made up of physical structures, emotions, mind, and spirit. Everything in the body is connected. Physical symptoms are simply messages from the body that something is energetically off balance. Chinese medicine does not separate your body into parts, nor does it just treat one part of your body. My treatment approach is to combine different styles of acupuncture and help people balance their body. I love to help my clients to feel good and strong physically and emotionally. I will spend enough time with them to understand their issues and needs.

In my practice I combine both East and West with my Western-medical background; I use needles, cupping, guasha, pulsed electromagnetic frequency machine, and nutrition to reach balance within body. My professional interest is the painful conditions, digestive issues, PMS, migraines, emotional issues, injuries, and more. I began my healing career with interest in pediatrics; In pursuit of that interest I obtained a Medical Degree.I believe that mind is an incredibly powerful tool and ultimately most diseases stem from an emotional root. I realized that conventional medicine is not sufficient enough in healing such diseases.

FAQs - About Acupuncture

How can I find an acupuncturist in Burlington?

To find an acupuncturist near you, enter your city, town, suburb, ZIP code, or the provider's name into the search bar at the top of the page. You can then filter results by provider specialty, treatment technique or style, and even gender to find an acupuncturist who best matches your needs.

When viewing an acupuncturist’s profile, take note of key details such as session costs, their area of specialty, treatment techniques, and location to determine if they’re a good fit. If a provider seems promising, you can reach out via email or phone using the contact information on their profile. During the conversation, assess your comfort level and their expertise in addressing your specific concerns. It’s also a good opportunity to ask about their overall approach to care and confirm any relevant acupuncture credentials they hold.

What can acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat chronic pain, including pain caused by physical injuries, arthritis, or migraines. It may also help with autoimmune conditions, nausea, digestive issues, and behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, acupuncture is based on the belief that illness results from an imbalance in the body’s energy, or “Qi.” Practitioners aim to restore the balance and flow of Qi by stimulating specific acupuncture points throughout the body, which is thought to alleviate pain and other symptoms associated with these conditions.

Acupuncture is typically used alongside medical treatment rather than as a replacement. It is important to note that acupuncture practitioners are not trained to diagnose or medically manage conditions, so it should not substitute regular care from a licensed medical provider.

Is a licensed acupuncturist a doctor?

No, acupuncturists are not medical doctors. To practice acupuncture, there is typically less training needed than that required for medical doctors. Acupuncture practitioners typically need to complete a master’s-level training program and meet a minimum requirement for clinical exposure before obtaining a license. However, licensing requirements vary by state. While most states have established minimum standards, some, such as Alabama, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, do not offer licensure for acupuncturists. In these states, there are no formal education or training requirements to practice acupuncture. The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) oversees acupuncture training and certification. This organization administers the national certification exam, which is required in many states to obtain a state-issued acupuncture license.

How many acupuncture sessions are generally needed?

Acupuncture is typically a time-limited treatment lasting 3 to 6 weeks, with sessions occurring 1 to 2 times per week. However, the duration and frequency of treatment may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and the nature of the condition or injury being treated. Acupuncturists should regularly assess their clients' progress, monitoring changes in symptoms and adjusting the treatment plan as necessary. After completing the initial course of treatment, some practitioners may recommend periodic "tune-up" sessions to help maintain symptom relief and longer-term well-being.

How much does it cost to see an acupuncturist?

The cost of acupuncture sessions typically ranges from $75 to $150 per session, depending on factors such as location, the provider’s experience, and the type of service offered. Some insurance plans may cover a portion of these costs, so it’s worth checking your specific coverage details. Additionally, some acupuncturists offer session packages or discounts for clients who commit to multiple sessions upfront, providing a more cost-effective option for those seeking ongoing treatment.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for acupuncture varies depending on the client’s insurance provider and specific plan. In many cases, insurance will cover a limited number of acupuncture sessions if the client has a referral from a medical doctor. The growing focus on non-opioid treatments for chronic pain has increased interest in acupuncture and led to improved insurance coverage in some plans. However, coverage often comes with conditions, such as copayments, limits on the number of sessions, or restrictions on the types of conditions eligible for treatment. For example, Medicare Part B generally covers acupuncture only for chronic low back pain. Clients should review their insurance policy to understand the extent and specifics of their plan's coverage of acupuncture treatments.
