132 Rosewood Ter Linden NJ, 07036About
Kathleen Greenough is an acupuncturist practicing in NJ and NY. Dr. Greenough evaluates and treats patients based on the concepts of East Asian medicine. Acupuncturists complete their evaluations by getting a patient history and looking at and palpating the body. Then, they place very fine acupuncture needles into specific points on the body. Stimulating these points and nerves is how Dr. Greenough treats the patient's condition. Many of the body's systems respond to acupuncture, and it can treat physical pain as well as emotional stress.
