Overview

Acupuncture is a way of natural healing by means of inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise points in the body. Channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These channels can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points, restoring balance and promoting the body's natural healing response.

Acupuncture is one of the most thoroughly studied complementary therapies in modern medicine. with strong evidence for chronic pain, migraine prevention, anxiety, and inflammation-related conditions. At Pain Center of Morris, our licensed acupuncturist applies that research clinically, every session.

Beyond acupuncture, we also employ herbal remedies, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and nutritional and lifestyle counseling through a holistic approach. Together with our acupuncture specialist Hyung W. Kim, L.Ac, M.S., we promote physical, mental, and spiritual vitality that can last a lifetime.

Acupuncture is perhaps the best known natural treatment for acute or chronic pain. It has also developed a strong reputation for helping to control appetite and cravings, improve metabolism and digestion, and assist with weight loss. Acupuncture has also helped hundreds of patients quit smoking and is used in the treatment of substance abuse.

Because acupuncture sits alongside chiropractic and physical therapy in our clinic, we can build truly integrative plans. For chronic migraine patients in particular, the combination of cervical adjustments and targeted acupuncture often delivers what either alone cannot.
