Acupuncture therapy is a holistic, natural, and evidence-based approach to healing that has been practiced for thousands of years as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This therapy focuses on restoring balance within the body by targeting specific points along the body’s meridians, the pathways through which energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), flows. When the flow of Qi is blocked or disrupted, it can lead to pain, illness, or discomfort. Acupuncture helps restore this balance, allowing the body to heal naturally.
At Town Acupuncture, we provide safe, personalized, and effective acupuncture therapy to patients in Clifton, NJ. Our goal is to support your body’s natural healing process, relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve overall wellness.
Acupuncture therapy works by inserting thin, sterile needles into carefully selected acupuncture points on the body. These points correspond to specific organs, muscles, and systems, allowing the body to:
Improve circulation and oxygen flow to tissues
Reduce inflammation and relieve pain naturally
Release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
Relax the nervous system and improve stress response
Support immune function and overall vitality
Through these mechanisms, acupuncture can help the body heal itself without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
Acupuncture is highly effective in easing pain caused by back problems, arthritis, neck and shoulder tension, joint pain, and migraines.
From indigestion and bloating to conditions like IBS, acupuncture can help restore healthy digestive function.
By calming the nervous system, acupuncture helps reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and promote emotional well-being.
Acupuncture encourages relaxation and can regulate sleep cycles, helping patients achieve deeper, more restful sleep.
Regular treatments may lessen the frequency and intensity of headaches, providing long-term relief without heavy medication use.
Acupuncture strengthens the immune system, helping the body fight off seasonal allergies and frequent colds.
Acupuncture supports fertility treatments, regulates menstrual cycles, and helps with hormonal imbalances.

At Town Acupuncture, we use safe and effective tools to ensure every treatment is gentle, personalized, and beneficial. The most common tool is the use of thin, sterile acupuncture needles, carefully placed at specific points on the body to encourage healing and restore balance. These needles are extremely fine and cause little to no discomfort.
In addition to acupuncture needles, our practitioners may also incorporate:
Cupping Therapy – Special cups create gentle suction on the skin, improving circulation, releasing tension, and supporting muscle recovery.
Moxibustion (Herbal Heat Therapy) – Burning a healing herb near the skin warms acupuncture points, enhancing energy flow and treatment effectiveness.
Heat Lamps – Targeted warmth is used to relax muscles, improve circulation, and complement your acupuncture session.
By combining these tools, our acupuncturists deliver customized, holistic care designed to support your unique health needs and goals.
Chinese acupuncture is a time-tested technique that focuses on restoring balance to the body’s energy, or Qi. By inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points along the body’s meridians, this method stimulates the body’s natural healing processes.
Benefits of Chinese acupuncture include:
Pain relief for back, neck, and joint discomfort
Stress reduction and relaxation
Support for digestive, hormonal, and overall health
At Town Acupuncture, we use this traditional approach to help patients achieve balance, improved energy flow, and overall wellness.
Auricular acupuncture is a specialized technique that targets points on the ear, which is considered a microsystem representing the entire body. By stimulating these points, this therapy can help with:
Pain management
Stress relief and relaxation
Addiction support
Cosmetic treatments for skin health
This method is often used in combination with other acupuncture therapies to enhance treatment outcomes.
Acupressure stimulation applies gentle pressure to specific points on the body without the use of needles. Using hands, fingers, or specialized tools, our practitioners promote the flow of Qi, reduce tension, and relieve pain.
Acupressure is effective for:
Headaches and migraines
Muscle aches and stiffness
Stress and anxiety
This needle-free approach, sometimes called acupuncture massage, is often used as a complementary therapy alongside other acupuncture treatments.
Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation. After inserting the needles, a gentle electrical current is applied to enhance the effects of the treatment.
Electroacupuncture can help with:
Chronic pain and inflammation
Muscle spasms and tightness
Nerve-related conditions
Improving circulation and healing
By intensifying the stimulation of acupuncture points, electroacupuncture promotes faster recovery, pain relief, and overall wellness.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. This stimulates nerves, improves circulation, modulates the body’s pain and stress responses, and helps restore balance in the body’s systems and energy flow (often referred to as “Qi”) to promote healing and wellness.
Most people feel little or no discomfort with acupuncture. The needles are much thinner than typical medical needles and are inserted in a gentle manner. Some patients may feel a slight tingling, warmth, heaviness or a mild ache at the insertion point, which is a normal indication that the treatment is working.
The required number of sessions varies based on the specific condition, its duration/severity, your overall health, and response to treatment. Some patients notice improvement after 1–2 visits, while more chronic or complex issues may require a series of treatments (for example, 6–12 sessions) followed by maintenance. During your first visit, we’ll evaluate and discuss a personalized plan.
Your first appointment will include a detailed consultation about your health history, current concerns and goals. Then a treatment session will follow, where needles are placed and you’ll be guided into a comfortable, relaxed state. Afterward, the practitioner will give guidance on lifestyle, diet, or supplemental therapies as appropriate.
Many insurance plans cover acupuncture for certain diagnoses (for example, pain conditions) but coverage varies widely. We recommend contacting your insurance provider ahead of time to check. Our office will also assist in verifying your benefits and providing any documentation you may need for insurance submission.
