Complete List Of Conditions

Here’s the truth: The only thing that heals the body is the body itself.

Here’s another truth: If the body is not healing itself, or if something is wrong, there is something that is blocking the body from doing what it is supposed to do; maintaining a healthy state.

Our “job” at Princeton Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine is to figure out what is stopping the body from healing or functioning optimally and get that problem or problems out of the way. Once we do this, the body simply heals itself, even when we are dealing with complex or chronic conditions.

Look, you can snap your femur, the biggest bone in the body, and your body will knit it back together on a cellular level and you don’t even have to be conscious for this to happen.

Now, if a patient of ours broke their leg, I wouldn’t stick acupuncture needles in it to try and heal it, obviously. The patient would go to a hospital, get the leg set properly and THEN I would have them come in for acupuncture and herbs to help the healing process. But, if the body can heal a bone like that, why can’t it heal something like back pain, or why does your body keep you in a state of anxiety or not allow you to sleep properly? As stated above, something is interfering with the bodies natural process and in order to affect healing, we have to remove that problem. So, in essence, if we remove or correct the problem, the body should be able to heal anything. That said, there are conditions that we see every day in clinic that we have remarkable success treating.

• Pain Syndromes: Pain can range from being an inconvenience to debilitating. Pain is a signal that something it wrong and whatever type you experience, it is not something that anyone should just “live with”. With proven solutions and a 90% success rate, we offer relief and solutions that are simply not available elsewhere. Don’t wait for things to get worse, start your recovery now.
• Anxiety & Depression: Often two sides of the same coin, anxiety and depression can have a profound impact on your happiness and health. Modern life, stress and poor habits can lead to hormonal and nervous system imbalances. Our proprietary protocols correct these imbalances and give our patients a chance to experience a healthy and fulfilling life.
• Stress: Stress has real physical, behavioral and psychological effects. High blood pressure, cardiac disease, poor eating habits, anxiety and depression are some of these effect. Acupuncture has been clinically proven to reduce stress hormones and re-set the nervous system. This allows our patients to better deal with stress and reduce the effects that stress has on the body.
• Sleep: Insomnia results in irritability, lack of focus and poor performance. More serious effects include increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Your body heals when you sleep, therefore, poor sleep is often the root of many problems. Acupuncture improves the duration and quality of your sleep so that you reduce the risk of serious effects and recover faster from other ailments.

These are some of the main conditions we treat, however, as outlined above, acupuncture and especially utilizing electro-acupuncture, allows us to treat things that are impeding the bodies healing process so that we can provide not only symptomatic relief, but true healing and recovery.
