About This Service

How Acupuncture Helps South Jersey Patients

Acupuncture is the placing of very thin, sterile, single-use needles at specific points on the body. In our offices it is used as one option among several, alongside chiropractic care and rehab, most often where muscle tension and ongoing aches are part of the picture. Care is provided by a licensed acupuncturist, and it begins with an assessment rather than a set package, so you get a straight read on whether it is a reasonable fit for what you are dealing with. It suits some people and some problems well, and it is not the right answer for everyone. We would rather tell you that up front than sell you a series.

Common Questions

Acupuncture FAQ — Rio Grande

Answers to the questions our Rio Grande patients ask most about acupuncture.

For most people, very little. The needles are far thinner than the ones used for shots, and what you feel is usually a small pinch or nothing at all. If a point is tender we adjust it. It is not something you should have to endure.
Yes. They are single-use and sterile, opened in front of you and disposed of after your session. Nothing is reused.
It varies with the problem and how you respond. Some people notice a change quickly, others need a short series before it is clear whether it is helping. We check as we go rather than commit you to a long block up front.
Yes, and we often use them together. Easing a tense area and restoring motion to a stiff joint tend to support each other, and having both in one office keeps your care coordinated.
Coverage varies widely by plan and some plans do not cover acupuncture at all. We are happy to check your benefits for you ahead of time and give you clear numbers before anything begins.
