Acupuncture

At Pinnacle Wellness and Pain Relief in Matawan, NJ, acupuncture is offered as a safe and practical way to help patients manage pain and improve bodily function. Dr. Richard H. Marzo, DC, and licensed acupuncturist Amy Romano, L.Ac., work together to provide care that complements chiropractic treatment and supports the unique needs of each patient.

What Acupuncture Can Do

Acupuncture has been practiced for centuries and is now widely recognized for its benefits in pain management, recovery, and maintaining wellness. By using very fine needles at precise points on the body, acupuncture encourages blood circulation, calms irritated nerves, and triggers the release of endorphins. Many patients find it especially helpful for orthopedic issues such as back pain, shoulder stiffness, or sports-related injuries.

Amy Romano’s Areas of Focus

Amy Romano, L.Ac., brings extensive experience in orthopedic acupuncture. She uses several different techniques at our Matawan, NJ, office to meet different kinds of pain and functional concerns.

• Electro-Acupuncture: This method uses a gentle electrical current attached to acupuncture needles, which can improve the treatment effect for stubborn pain or muscle tightness. It is often recommended for patients with chronic back or joint discomfort.
• Motor Point Acupuncture: Targeting motor points, which are areas where nerves enter muscles, this approach helps release tightness and improve muscle activation. It can be valuable for athletes or anyone dealing with repetitive strain.
• Scalp and Auricular Acupuncture: These methods involve treating points on the scalp or ear that correspond with different body systems. They are sometimes used alongside orthopedic treatments to reduce stress or manage neurological issues.

How Acupuncture Fits Into Care

At Pinnacle Wellness and Pain Relief, acupuncture can be used on its own or in combination with chiropractic adjustments and other therapies. Patients often find that this integrative approach leads to better outcomes, whether the goal is reducing pain, increasing mobility, or simply supporting long-term wellness. Sessions are designed to be comfortable, with treatments modified to each person’s condition and comfort level.

Why Patients Choose Acupuncture

People seek out acupuncture for all sorts of reasons. Some want relief from persistent pain that has not responded to other methods. Others use it as part of their recovery after an injury or surgery. Many also value its ability to calm stress and improve sleep, which are important for healing. For orthopedic pain in particular, Amy’s advanced techniques provide a specialized, modern approach that can help patients feel better and move with more ease.
