Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an artform that rebalances the body's own energy. This brings about homeostasis and healing. By inserting thin sterile needles into the body, an Acupuncturist is able to redirect your Qi and help your body find its most peaceful state of being. This energetic rebalancing leads to the reduction of your pain and and other forms of discomfort. Acupuncture is a type of holistic whole body medicine that treats the mind, body and spirit. Each patient is treated as an unique entity.
The Uniqueness of Classical Acupcuncture
Classical Chinese Acupuncture creates a specialized treatment based on the energetic needs of an individual. In conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this type of Acupuncture focuses on the channel systems known as the Divergent Meridians, Luo Channels, and Eight Extraordinary Vessels. Classical Acupuncture is especially unique because of its ability to address issues regarding spiritual/emotional unrest and chronic life long ailments. A Classical Acupuncturist will always be in search of the root of the issue, not just the manifestation.

About Carly A. Druck, L.Ac.
The Acupuncturist
For the last 15 years I have been a Classical Chinese Acupuncturist in the Woodbridge and Edison, New Jersey areas. I was trained in Classical Chinese Medicine under the guidance of Jeffrey Yuen, and have continued my educational experiences in China and in the United States.
My experience with Acupuncture
My passion for Acupuncture came out of a sense of curiosity and a search for hope. I had a family member who suffered from a life long chronic illness, By living through her experience with Western medicine, I saw first hand the confusion and general frustrations she endured. The medicines she was given extended her life, but did not help with the quality. Each medicine seem to bring about a new issue. Watching all of this inspired me to look for other healthcare modalities that made more sense. I wanted to find a healthcare system that treated the whole person and most importantly something without side effects.
The answer was Classical Chinese Acupuncture.
I came across Acupuncture in my search for an 'alternative.' What I discovered was the oldest, most unique, and simplest form of medicine ever known. This medicine is considered an artform that unifies the mind, body and spirit. The most incredible part of this type of healing is that it all resides entirely within us. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than being able to share in the experience of healing and to help others to live a life of quality and harmony.
