Learn what acupuncture is, how it works, what conditions it may support, and what to expect during treatment at Central New Jersey Acupuncture & Wellness.
Acupuncture
Experience the stimulation of over 300 active points using ultra-fine needles to restore the body's natural balance. This time-tested technique enhances energy flow and supports healing across multiple systems:
✓ Relieves back pain, muscle tension, and physical discomfort
✓ Supports fertility and hormonal health by optimizing endocrine function
✓ Improves nervous system activity, easing anxiety and stress
✓ Restores the body's natural energy balance
✓ Boosts beneficial muscle chemistry to aid recovery
✓ Stimulates tissue repair for faster healing and long-term wellness
Electro-Acupuncture
A modern, gentle take on acupuncture — and part of nearly every treatment plan here.
Electro-acupuncture uses gentle electrical impulses through the needles to enhance treatment, and it's incorporated into the vast majority of sessions at our clinic. It's especially valuable during acute phases of pain or inflammation, supporting faster recovery, sustained energy, and overall balance.
Cupping Therapy
Natural pain relief, often paired with your acupuncture treatment.
Cupping uses medical-grade suction to release muscle tension, ease back pain, and boost circulation. Patients often describe a deep sense of relief and relaxation after treatment.
Moxibustion
Gentle herbal heat therapy for circulation and balance.
Moxibustion uses a heated herbal stick to warm the body without direct skin contact. This smoke-based therapy enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes wellness — especially effective during colder months.
Benefits:
✓ Boosts circulation for better oxygen and nutrient delivery
✓ Reduces inflammation and relieves pain
✓ Supports hormonal balance, especially for reproductive and menstrual health
✓ Warms cold hands and feet in winter
Auricular Acupuncture
Ear point therapy that complements your treatment, whatever you're being treated for.
Auricular acupuncture targets reflex points on the outer ear (auricle), based on the traditional principle that the ear mirrors the whole body. Dr. Yuliya incorporates ear points alongside body acupuncture in nearly every treatment, adding a well-documented benefit: reduced stress and cortisol, confirmed across multiple clinical studies. Some patients also find it supports weight management as part of a broader approach to stress reduction, not as a standalone weight-loss program.
Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT)
A proprietary, needle-free approach to allergy and sensitivity symptoms.
AAT combines a comprehensive stress assessment with item-specific digital signals and gentle acupressure stimulation along the spine to resolve the symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. Rather than diagnosing an allergy, AAT identifies items causing stress on the body's organ systems and works to correct the body's response to them. AAT complements your existing medical care and doesn't replace guidance from your doctor or allergist.
