There are several ways to manage physical pain, depending on tolerance, preference, and type of injury. Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine rooted in Chinese practice that involves inserting thin needles into pressure points and pain areas in the body. It is designed to stimulate various parts of your body and promote a healing response. There are various acupuncture practitioners in the area, so we rounded up a list of them in Hoboken and Jersey City.
