During his time with ESATM, he learned many techniques, such as Cupping and Electroacupuncture. But the one thing that stood out to him the most was working at the VA hospital in East Orange NJ; working alongside some of the Top MD’s in NJ (Orthopedic surgeons, Neurosurgeons, and Dermatologists) to deliver the most optimal results to his patients with the latest technologies. Mike specializes in Orthopedic conditions, both chronic and acute, with dedication toward helping individuals understand their own needs and reach their best potential.

How does acupuncture REALLY work?

East vs West: The traditional belief is that pathways of energy (called meridians) run the length of the body, and when these pathways become blocked problems arise such as pain and discomfort. So acupuncture is used to try and unblock these pathways for better health. Kind of like when the plumber and chimney guy clean your pipes.

Modern medicine believes that the body treats the puncture as any foreign matter in the body: It calls upon the immune system to respond with an increase in white blood cells which helps reduce inflammation in the body. No inflammation, no pain. Additionally, the brain also releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers.

Is there a difference between acupuncture and trigger point release?

Will Acupuncture hurt? What if I do not like needles?

How long will the needles stay in?

Why acupuncture? What about chiropractic, physical therapy & massage?

Why not try all of them and see what works best for your particular needs? The modern world of rehabilitation centers has allowed us to include all these wonderful modalities under one roof giving patients more choices and overall help. Sometimes you’ll find that one treatment helps one of your issues while another treatment is more beneficial elsewhere.

I feel acupuncture is a relaxing treatment and often reaches the nooks and crannies within joints and beneath the skin and muscle layers that may be harder to reach with other treatments. Circulation of blood to these deeper spots in the body are integral to healing stubborn & chronic problems.

How many visits will I need?

This varies based on the overall health of the patient, and the condition being treated. For example, a person in good health who “slept funny” and has a sore neck, can be helped very quickly. A patient with a chronic illness such as Rheumatoid Arthritis would likely need more visits. In general after about 4 visits a patient should know if acupuncture is a modality that will be helpful for them.
