My interest in holistic medicine started when I was an undergraduate at Ramapo College of New Jersey. I studied abroad in India and became fascinated with their holistic approach to healing. My curiosity peaked when I discovered acupuncture. I was immediately intrigued by this ancient medicine and its method of evaluation of wellness.
Does Acupuncture hurt? The needles used in acupuncture are very thin (the size of a strand of hair). Some patients are more sensitive to acupuncture needles than others. Sometimes the patients will feel a tiny pinch on the insertion of the needle. After the needle is inserted, there might be a sensation of heat, numbness, achiness, throbbing, nerviness, or nothing at all.
We offer Gua Sha used in conjunction with acupuncture to hasten the relief of pain. Gua Sha is an ancient medical treatment that has been used for thousands of years to bring relief from very common conditions such as fever and general muscle pain. Gua Sha helps remove stagnation (which is often the source of pain) to help bring blood flow to the area.
Moxibustion is an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. A stick or cone of mugwort is placed directly on the skin, or indirectly above the skin on acupuncture points and affected areas of the body. When the mugwort is lit, it provides heat that penetrates slowly to stimulate the qi or strengthen the blood flow of the affected meridian.
Electric stimulation helps relax muscles, move stagnant blood and lymph from the area, and relieve pain. Needles are inserted at different acupuncture points or in specific muscles and the device is attached to the needles via wires and small clips. The device generates continuous electric pulses through the needles which then contracts the muscles.

I've had acupuncture sessions here since September 2020 and really appreciate Brittany. I have been having ongoing back pain and digestion issues and started going to acupuncture for more than two years now (in the Philippines and California) so that I can sleep better and feel less tension in my back. I appreciate the educative approach Brittany takes towards healing-- she takes time to explain the process and makes helpful suggestions about changing habits that go beyond acupuncture. I appreciate this holistic healing approach and having such a kind person lead me through the process.

My weekly visits to Brittany have been the best thing I’ve done for myself in decades! I’ve suffered from frequent migraines for years and they appear to have diminished totally. From migraines, to pain relief, to general well-being; I would give Brittany at Renew Acupuncture 1 billion stars if I could.

I have seen Brittany for many different issues. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and accessible. Brittany will go out of her way to treat you in a timely manner. She is kind, effective and efficient. She is always willing to expand her own knowledge to help get you the best relief and treatment plan.

I’ve had back spasm flare ups for 26 years that started after a very bad car accident. Been to physical therapy, had injections, Chiropractor, meds. Finished 5 months of treatment at Jefferson pain management in November and I was beyond disappointed and feeling at the end of my rope with a particularly long bout. Coming to Brittany is the best decision I ever made. From the first visit, right before Christmas, she reduced the pain level significantly. Second visit, spasms ended on the left side. Best Christmas gift ever! I highly recommended her. She’s personable, easy to talk with

What a great experience! This was my first acupuncture visit and Brittany made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. The visit was a review of my health as a whole, addressing physical, mental, and emotional issues. Brittany gave me helpful advice on diet and supplements as well. I walked out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated !!

I cannot recommend Renew Acupuncture and Brittany enough. In my first visit (January 2014), Brittany spent at least 30 minutes talking with me about my health/symptoms/needs etc. She is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything she was doing. This was my first experience with acupuncture, and she made me feel extremely comfortable. Although I initially saw her for a specific issue, with that resolved, I continue to see her biweekly for a variety of other things. She completely relieved me of knee pain and has improved my overall wellness. Our area does not have a more concerned
