At JPM Physical Therapy in Queens NY, we offer personalized Acupuncture treatments to all of our patients who have been chronic pain, injuries from car accidents or work related injuries. Acupuncture is an alternative medicine methodology which originated in ancient China. It is used to treat patients by manipulating thin, solid needles that are inserted into specific, therapeutic points in the skin. According to traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating these points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi (chi) through channels known as meridians.

Acupuncture has been an essential part of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and has been catching on in the West in recent years.  Scientific studies are offering evidence that it can ease pain and can treat various ailments. We are proud to say that we offer acupuncture treatment at our office.

During acupuncture treatments, pressure is applied to the acupuncture point. The meridian energy flow is released throughout the body, sending healing energy where it’s needed and allowing muscles to relax. Meridian balancing may unlock a healing reaction to an injury or weakness that has been undiscovered and untreated for several years.

Acupuncture and TCM has the ability to successfully aid in the healing of soft-tissue injuries, relaxing the muscles, relieving painful symptoms, helping your body regain its natural balance and vitality as well as alleviating any stress and anxiety.
