Documented and explained in an understandable fashion so that you are confident in your treatment. I had my first acupuncture wellness treatment about a month ago for the first time.

Our goal at Princeton Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is to help you achieve and maintain a state of optimal health so you can pursue your goals to lead a truly fulfilling life. There is a big difference between optimal health and lack of symptoms. Optimal health is not simply the absence of disease and dysfunction, but the ability to perform optimally.
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is a holistic healing art so it is somewhat incongruous to "specialize" in any one area of treatment when even something like a simple headache can stem from a multitude of physical, nutritional, environmental and emotional factors. That being said, we have outlined below how some common ailments that we have had tremendous success in treating.
Western medicine, while peerless at dealing with acute, life threatening problems, primarily deals with the disease end of the spectrum (only about 1% of all health complaints). If you have a chronic problem, or something that is outside of Western medicines ability to diagnose you typically have two options, medication or surgery.
Before we get started, just a few words about what you should do when coming to our clinic. Dress in comfortable clothes, loose fitting pants or sweatpants that allow easy access to your lower extremities. If you are coming in for low back pain we will need to access your lower back and hips (running shorts are great for this).
As one of the main branches of Chinese medicine, Chinese herbs have also been used for thousands of years by billions of people to help in the healing of physical and mental disorders. This is a record for safety and efficacy that dwarfs anything western medicine has to offer. Many people find herbs to be an attractive treatment option because, if they are used skillfully, they are generally free of side effects.

My cousin have been telling me about acupuncture for a long time. But i decided to check it out when my back been hurting me for months. I tried everything I found no relief. So I said to myself I had nothing to lose. I started feeling better after the first session and continue to feel better as I kept going. Everyone is so nice. I recommend Princeton acupuncture to anyone who is in pain. If I had money I would keep getting treatment for a very long time. It’s my happy place!

Im very happy from the experience I got at this place. It was a total of 8 treatments, each treatment made felt better and happier. I suffer from depression and anxiety and I couldn’t believe that it makes me a better person. I really recommend this acupuncture to anybody that is looking for a good acupuncture. They are very friendly people and are willing to listen :))

Great experience with princeton Acupuncture & oriental medicine (Steven Hoffman) and Christine. I went in w accident related injuries (knee and elbows) and within 2 visits the swelling and pain had been reduced significantly/eliminated. I have subsequently asked them to focus on other lingering issues with lower back and feet and am seeing the same results- truly grateful for this great find and will be coming back regularly to help with injuries/strains etc. Thank you so much Steven and Christine

Princeton Accupuncture and Dr Steven Hoffman with his knowledgable staff has given me a totally new outlook on my physical and mental well-being.Having Accupuncture for 13 years prior,I find his approach to this science has resulted with positive results in such short time for my chronic pain. I am fortunate to be welcomed to his unique practice.

About 3 weeks ago, I walked into Princeton Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in a desperate state. I was suffering from what I believe to be body aches and pains brought on by perimenopause. I was experiencing great difficulty getting up from chairs and out of the bed in the morning, and even severe pain while walking. The bottom of my feet were excruciatingly painful at times. Along with the aches and pain, I was dealing with foggy headededness, low energy and sleep issues. A lifelong battle with IBS w constipation seemed to have gotten worse. I'd gone to my primary doctor who was unable to help

Steven is the best! I was in so much pain and I tried all the traditional approach to handle my shoulder pain and nothing worked. I finally got so desperate I decided to try Accupunture. This was the best decision I could make and I’m upset because I didn’t know about him sooner. My pain level dropped dramatically in the first few weeks. I still can’t believe it.
Steven is the best! He explained everything to me and came up with a plan that suited my needs. He is compassionate and really cares about your healing. His office is so relaxing and as soon as you walk in you are greeted by Chris

Walking into Dr Steve’s office I immediately feel a peace. The ambiance and the smell is so inviting. Being greeted by Christine is such a lovely experience. She is so friendly and always asks how I am and she is such a nice person. She makes me feel comfortable and that I am a valued client. Then Dr Steve talks to me about treatment. He is a wealth of knowledge and he always has the time to explain things to me or engage in conversation. I always feel better after having an Accupuncture treatment but being there and knowing these two people truly want the best for my physical and mental health

If you have pain, anxiety, or any other issue in your body, you have to come see Steven and his team. I met Steven in our first appointment in tears. I was in so much pain. The medication wasn’t working and he was really my last resort. He was knowledgable, caring, and he answered all of my questions. He took his time and made me feel comfortable.
… I am only a quarter way through my treatment plan and I feel soooo good. I am more relaxed, more aware, happier, I lost 2 pounds without even trying, and most importantly my pain levels are reduced. I know I have a ways to go, but I can

Life changing! I felt so awful, everyday. Doctors told me that I was getting older and get used to it. Not Steve. He listened. He researched. He’s given me my life back. I feel like a new person. The best decision I’ve ever made was coming to Princeton Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. A relaxing bit of joy every single session!

For years doctors told me that I was feeling awful was part of growing old. There was nothing they could do. If I had known that I was going to feel this good, I would have done it years ago! Acupuncture isn't a quick fix, but Steve listens, researches and doesn't give up. It took me a couple months, but I can happily say that I am pain and ailment free. Does it hurt? NO. It's actually really relaxing. Chris and Steve make it a totally encouraging and enjoyable process. I feel better body and mind after every session. What are you waiting for?

I would give Steve 10 stars if that was possible. I had seen several acupuncturists in the past but had never had results like I have since starting at Princeton Acupuncture. I’m sleeping soundly and feeling more energized upon waking and throughout the day-no more 3pm slump. He can usually figure out what’s going on with me better than I can explain it. Very happy and satisfied customer. Give Steve a try- you won’t regret it!

I was somewhat skeptical of getting acupuncture for my insomnia, but after 2+months of 2ish hours of sleep every night, I was a wreck. And desperate. Steven was amazing at not only explaining the procedure, but looking at my lifestyle as a whole and recommending supplements and activities like yoga and meditation to increase the success of… acupuncture. Well, a month later, what a difference! Steven is knowledgeable and connects well with his patients. He is compassionate and optimistic and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. This is super important in finding the right acupuncturist
