New Jersey Natural Family Health

At New Jersey Natural Family Health, we are dedicated to providing our patients with a holistic approach to healthcare. Our approach is unique because we combine the ancient methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the latest understanding of Western Medicine. Our team is led by Dr. Shannon DiCarlo, a registered nurse and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, who has extensive training in both Western and Eastern Medicine.

Our Services

We offer a range of services that cater to the unique needs of each patient. These services include:

Acupuncture: 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.

Chinese Herbal Medicine: Chinese herbal medicine is a sophisticated form of natural medicine. The goal of Chinese herbal medicine is to address symptoms, while also treating the underlying cause. Herbal formulas can address a variety of issues such as digestive health, sleep pattern regulation, allergies, gynecological and fertility health, stress/anxiety, and much more.

Cupping: Cupping is a technique in which small glass cups are applied to the surface of the skin. Using a small pump, suction is applied to pull the muscle upward. Patients often feel that it is like a "reverse massage" that loosens the muscle, provides pain relief, and increases mobility in the joints.

Gua Sha: Gua Sha is a technique that involves the use of a blunt tool to stimulate an area of the body using a directional stroking method. It is commonly used to address pain and limitations in mobility, but also has the function of assisting with immune system concerns and addressing respiratory issues.

Nutrition and Lifestyle Counseling: We believe that a healthy lifestyle is essential to overall wellness. Our nutrition and lifestyle counseling services help patients make informed decisions about their diet and lifestyle choices.

Auriculotherapy: Auriculotherapy is a technique that uses reflexology to stimulate specific points on the ear to promote healing and relaxation.

Conditions and Diseases Treated: We have successfully treated a wide range of conditions and diseases, including chronic pain, insomnia, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, and more.
