Most people feel little to no discomfort when acupuncture needles are inserted. The needles are much thinner than those used for injections or blood draws. You may notice a mild tingling, warmth, heaviness or dull sensation near an acupuncture point. Many patients find their sessions deeply relaxing.

People frequently seek acupuncture for back pain, neck pain, joint discomfort, gastrointestinal issues, emotional wellbeing, sports injuries, sciatica, headaches, migraines, stress and muscle tension. Acupuncture may also be incorporated into personalized care for women’s health, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum wellness. Acupuncture can support a wide range of non-emergency health concerns, but your treatment plan will always be tailored to your health history, symptoms, and individual goals. It is intended to complement, not replace, appropriate medical care.

Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals. Jaime may also assess movement or areas of tension when relevant. She will then explain her recommendations and create an individualized acupuncture treatment plan.

Eat a light meal approximately one or two hours before your appointment and arrive well hydrated. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows the treatment area to be accessed. Bring a list of medications and any relevant information from your healthcare providers.

The number and frequency of treatments vary. A recent injury may require a different plan than chronic pain, migraines or ongoing wellness support. Jaime will discuss the recommended frequency after learning more about your needs and response to treatment.

Jaime is both a licensed acupuncturist and physical therapist. Her combined experience allows her to consider pain, movement, lifestyle and whole-body wellness together. Every patient receives personalized care in a calm, welcoming environment in Denville, New Jersey.

The initial appointment is approximately 60-75 minutes with follow-ups averaging 45-60 minutes.
