A More Personal Kind of Care
What Would You Like to Feel Better?
Dr. Margaret believes good acupuncture care starts with a simple question: what is getting in the way of you feeling your best?
She takes time to understand your symptoms, how long you’ve been dealing with them, what you’ve already tried, and how the problem is affecting your everyday life.
Dr. Margaret strongly supports the integration of eastern and western medicine in maintaining the best health possible, treating men, women, and children with a wide range of conditions.

Whole-Person Care
Eveything is Connected
Acupuncture looks at the whole person, not just the symptom that brought you in.
Poor sleep can affect energy. Stress can contribute to tension and headaches. Pain can affect movement, mood, and quality of life.
If you’re feeling run down, stressed, out of balance, or dealing with ongoing physical or emotional discomfort, Dr. Margaret looks at how those concerns may fit together before developing your treatment plan.
Customer Reviews from Google
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.
