Balanced Body Acupuncture in Cedar Grove, NJ

Dr. Margaret Amireh, DACM, L.Ac.
Board Certified Acupuncturist

Are you dealing with pain? Maybe your back has been acting up, headaches or migraines keep coming back, or stress is affecting your sleep, energy, or how you feel day to day.

Are you feeling frustrated because you’ve already tried medication, physical therapy, stretching, rest, or simply hoping the problem would go away?

If that sounds familiar, acupuncture may be worth exploring.

Balanced Body Acupuncture was a tremendous find! I was having issues with my shoulder, I had pain and limited movement. A friend suggested I try acupuncture and referred me to Dr Margaret and Balanced Body Acupuncture. I was truly amazed at the results. I never thought it would be something I would consider but I did and it worked. I had five visits. Dr Margaret took the time to carefully listen to and evaluate my pain and motion issues. She explained the process and how acupuncture works. The sessions were targeted, painless and actually quite relaxing. The pain is more than significantly reduced, and the range of motion is almost entirely returned. My last session was more than 4 weeks ago. I intentionally waited to write my review to see how the results would last. Which they have. The experience was truly amazing. I am a believer. Thank you Dr Margaret!

I am so happy I found Dr. Margaret Amireh's practice. New to acupuncture, I was a bit nervous going into treatment but Margaret makes you feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. I had gone in for lower back pain that was persistent and with regular treatments I am feeling much better. I could not recommend this practice enough!

Dr. Margaret is a gem. She is highly professional and her office is incredibly clean (which always stands out to me when I'm looking for an acupuncturist). She is up to date on the latest in Eastern medicine while also having a strong background in biology, so I always feel safe in her hands. I started going to her practice in January 2023 to support hormone balance and regular cycles - she showed genuine interest in my health goals and just over one year later I had my baby girl in my arms! I credit my healthy pregnancy to her and her practice. As a bonus she is also super kind and funny and will make you laugh.
I started going to Balanced Body back in December treating stenosis in my neck and pain in my shoulder and arm. I can’t Say enough about Dr Margaret she has the softness touch I didn’t even know she had used the needles. It’s been fantastic and very very helpful. I highly recommend it for anyone. I started feeling relief after the first session. It’s been a godsend and will continue to do it. You’re in good hands with Dr Margaret.

For the last four months, I have been receiving treatment from Margaret at Balanced Body Acupuncture for my lateral epicondylitis, and I must say that her expertise and personable approach have made a significant difference in my healing journey. Margaret's skillful use of acupuncture has helped alleviate my pain and improve my range of motion. Her caring demeanor and attention to detail make each session comfortable and effective. I highly recommend Margaret to anyone seeking holistic and personalized care for their health concerns. It's evident that for Margaret, this isn't merely a job – it's a dedicated way of life!

I am not the person who typically writes reviews, but Margaret has to be recommended to everyone! I was recommended to go by my family members for issues I was having with pain and swelling. I had seen multiple doctors who could not identify the cause for the issues I was experiencing. Margaret made recommendations and I am happy to say my symptoms are all successfully managed. We have started to work on issues I was seeing a podiatrist for and after one visit my pain has diminished.

Margaret is knowledgeable, kind, professional and has made me feel safe and comfortable from the moment I walked through the door. She had even went (in my eyes) above and beyond to double check my insurance to ensure proper coverage and explained to me my insurance plan. Margaret even walked me through the steps of finding and filling out all paperwork I needed before going to see her in the office and provided me with a consultation visit!

I would and have recommended Margaret to my friends families and colleagues. Thank you to Margaret for being the kind caring professional you are!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, much smaller than the needles used for injections or blood draws. You may feel a quick pinch, pressure, tingling, warmth, or a mild sensation when a needle is placed, but treatment should not be sharply painful.

At Balanced Body Acupuncture in Cedar Grove, NJ, Dr. Margaret Amireh uses a gentle, personalized approach and takes extra care with patients who are nervous about needles or trying acupuncture for the first time.

What conditions can acupuncture help with?

People seek acupuncture for many different reasons, including lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, stress, anxiety, poor sleep, neuropathy, digestive concerns, menstrual symptoms, hot flashes, and other ongoing health issues.

Dr. Margaret provides acupuncture in Cedar Grove, NJ for patients throughout Essex and Passaic Counties and tailors each treatment to the individual rather than using the same approach for everyone.

Acupuncture may also be used alongside conventional medical care, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, or other healthcare.

How many acupuncture treatments will I need?

There is no single treatment schedule that is right for everyone. The number of acupuncture treatments you may need depends on your condition, how long you have been experiencing symptoms, your overall health, and how your body responds to treatment.

Some patients notice changes relatively quickly, while chronic or long-standing conditions may require more time. After evaluating your symptoms and health history, Dr. Margaret will recommend a personalized acupuncture treatment plan and adjust it based on your progress.

Does insurance cover acupuncture?

Many health insurance plans now include acupuncture benefits, although coverage varies by insurance company and individual policy. Balanced Body Acupuncture is in network with several major insurance plans and offers a complimentary benefits check so you can understand your acupuncture coverage before your first visit.

Insurance verification typically takes 24–48 hours. If you are looking for an acupuncturist in Cedar Grove, NJ who accepts insurance, contact the office and we can check your specific benefits.

Can acupuncture be used with my current medical care?

Yes. Acupuncture is often used as a complementary treatment alongside conventional medical care. Patients may continue seeing their physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, or other healthcare providers while receiving acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture may also be used while taking prescribed medications, although you should never stop or change medication without speaking with the healthcare professional who prescribed it. Dr. Margaret’s approach at Balanced Body Acupuncture is designed to support your overall care, not replace appropriate medical treatment.
