"Health is more than the absence of disease."
An Ancient Cure for Modern Maladies
Contemporary Western medicine has reached a great
and undoubted success in the last century. However, we all know its
weaknesses: harmful side effects from extensive drug use, an unchecked
explosion of tests and paperwork, and lack of real preventive therapy.
The main part of Eastern medicine is
acupuncture, a traditional Chinese approach to healing developed and
practiced for more than 3,000 years. It is a system of medical knowledge
and skills with a special methodology of diagnoses and treatment. The
anatomy of acupuncture is a system of meridians upon which there
are acupoints. Meridians (channels) distribute the flow of energy (QI)
and blood (Xue) throughout the human body and link the interior organs
with various tissues making the body an organic whole. As a philosophy,
acupuncture views the illness as an imbalance of the energy in meridians
and organs. Correspondingly, treatment is approached as a process of
restoring the balance through the stimulation of acupoints. You can find
more about the acupuncture theory and how it works here.
Both Western and Eastern medicine share the
observation that the body's natural tendency is to heal itself. Due to
her medical background, Dr. Shulman uses a combination of the two
approaches to create an optimal treatment program for her patients.
Effective Treatment of Many Ailments
Acupuncture can help with a wide variety of diseases
and disorders. In November 1997, the National Institute of Health
sanctioned the use of acupuncture. Today acupuncture is used to treat over
40 diseases approved by the World Health Organization. Treated conditions
include:
Addiction, allergies, amenorrhea, anxiety,
arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, carpal tunnel, chronic fatigue, colitis,
constipation, depression, dysmenorrhea, facial palsy/ticks, fibromyalgia
(general muscle pain), frequent & painful urination, headaches,
herniated disc, impotence, infertility, insomnia, irritable bowel, low
back pain, menopause, migraines, multiple sclerosis, PMS, post-stroke
conditions, rhinitis, sciatica, sinusitis, sleep disturbance, stress,
trigeminal neuralgia, ulcer, and many others...
Acupuncture is very effective for people recovering
from sports traumas and car accidents. Those who have been let down by
western medicine for any reason also make perfect candidates. Because
acupuncture heals the whole person instead of fighting specific symptoms,
treatment can correct any combination of maladies. Dr. Shulman has
extensive experience in treating almost any condition.
Acupuncture is also perfect for those who wish to
improve their appearance. It is successfully used for "perfect image
maintenance" known as facial rejuvenation. (Improving blood circulation
in the local areas and refurbishing muscle tones helps avoid expensive
face-lift surgery.) Those wishing to lose weight can use acupuncture to
better their metabolism and reduce their appetite. Acupuncture is perfect
for anyone wishing to improve his or her health and beauty.

Your Acupuncture Treatment
For many people, the fear of needles is enough to
prevent them from trying acupuncture. The feather-light needles are no
cause for concern, however. Reaction varies by individual. The needles
utilized are completely sanitary, disposable and hair-thin. The benefits of a relaxing and painless
acupuncture treatment are certainly worth conquering the fear. We will
help to put you at the utmost state of comfort.
The number and frequency of treatments depends on
the condition, the individual's response, and the stage of the disease.
The number of treatments required is anywhere from 3 to 20. A semi-annual
treatment is suggested for maintenance purposes. Pain relief is long and
lasting; it is effective approximately 80% of the time.
The Cost of Treatment
Acupuncture treatments, providing by Ellen Shulman, are very
affordable. Acupuncture can decrease and eliminate the expense of
prescriptions and other medications. Treatment cost is also tax-deductible
as a medical expense. A wise investment in you present and future,
Acupuncture will save you money by reducing your need for medical
treatment.

The Effective Solution
“It is Crucial to seek out a well Trained Practitioner"
-Harvard Health Letter 3/98
We feel that our patients' comments are the ultimate
measure of Ellen Shulman's success. Here is a small sample of what clients had
to say:
"Acupuncture? After
doctoring for two years with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome without great success,
my doctor suggested acupuncture. I was skeptical but willing to try anything
that would make me feel better. I did my research and found Dr. Ellen
Shulman. She is a compassionate, most knowledgeable, effective alternative
care giver. Within two months I had positive results and no longer needed
medication for CFS. She is absolutely amazing balancing the body's healing
system.
Years later, another medical problem involving my digestive system emerged.
I returned to Dr. Shulman and the transformation was remarkable.
Feeling well is believing. If you are experiencing any kind of health issues
you should call Dr. Shulman for a consultation. She is extremely honest and
will tell you straight out if she believes she can help you. Acupuncture is
a wonderful healing modality." -
Lynn B.
"Dr. Shulman is an
incredible healer. After 6 months of intense migraine headaches after the
birth of my third child, Dr. Shulman was able to stop the headaches after 4
treatments. I can't thank her enough"
- Lisa P.
"My first session
included a discussion with Dr. Shulman about my health concerns, which was
followed by my first acupuncture treatments. Much to my surprise, I found
that the treatment needles didn't bother me. I noticed immediate relief,
and most importantly, I felt relaxed for the first time in weeks. Now, I
look forward to my sessions with Dr. Shulman. She is a warm and caring
professional, and she has been able to give me the relief I so desperately
needed." -Ruby Reed,
Mansfield
"Since coming to
Dr. Shulman, I have experienced a dramatic change in my life. Every day I
am grateful for my renewed energy, positive outlook, and healthy glow!"
--Lynn Silvia, Somerset
"My days and nights
were filled with periods of stabbing head pains that would last for hours.
After only two or three sessions, I began to feel relief. The headaches
became shorter in duration, less intense, and less frequent. A few months
later, when my son sat on my lap and told me, "I like acupuncture. It
makes you really fun to be with," I realized he had never seen me in a
pain-free state
prior to my treatments. He was 9." -Paul
Acampora, Bridgewater
