At New Jersey Natural Family Health, we provide our patients with healthcare based on a natural approach to integrative medicine. Our approach is unique because we are deeply rooted in the ancient methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but have an in-depth knowledge of Western Medicine.
Because most patients are currently under the care of a Western Medical physician, this method of practice allows us to utilize the theory and modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine while incorporating a modern understanding of the symptoms and diseases that patients are facing in today's world.
Dr. Shannon DiCarlo, a registered nurse and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, reviews the health history of every patient, develops a treatment plan that is specific to his or her needs, and addresses not only the particular health issue that a patient arrives to address, but the root cause of pain, illness, or unexplained symptoms.We believe educating patients on what they can do to contribute to their own health is an important part of achieving full wellness.

Acupuncture has been a valuable method of addressing medical issues for thousands of years.
By inserting tiny, sterile needles into specific points on the body, we can initiate the body's own ability to heal, control pain, and address symptoms.
Because each patient is unique, we develop a plan of individually selected points for each individual patient that will address both current symptoms and the underlying cause to achieve optimal health.
Each tiny needle is about the width of a human hair, and is sterile and single-use only.

Acupuncture uses tiny, sterile needles to stimulate the body's own ability to heal.
We use specific points that correspond to symptoms, disorders, and root causes of illness.
When these thin needles are inserted into the chosen points, we can affect circulation, hormones, organ function, and more.
We also incorporate other Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities, including Tui Na, Cupping, and Gua Sha which are non-invasive therapies that can assist in the healing process.
For our pediatric patients, we use a tool called a "point stimulator".

A natural approach to integrative medicine operates on a theory that the body has a natural ability to heal and recover if given the proper tools.
Today, many people feel bombarded with mixed messages about how to approach healing.
Our goal is to form a union with our patients as we develop a plan together to achieve full wellness.
Education is a big part of that plan.
Once patients are educated on how to better achieve health, it is easy for them to become active participants in their own healthcare.

In Chinese Medicine, auriculotherapy involves placing small seeds or pellets on the external ear to alleviate symptoms and address issues in other parts of the body.
The site of these seeds are carefully chosen for each patient to correspond to each particular concern.
The seeds remain for three days and are removed easily at home, much as you would remove a small Band-Aid.
