The bottom line
Acupuncture with AJ Adamczyk, L.Ac., at Thrive Spine & Sports Rehab in New Jersey helped Ruth enormously after her pain grew so extreme she could no longer teach. Very intensive physical therapy and other traditional medicine hadn't changed her pain level. Her care included electro-acupuncture, and she now believes acupuncture should be an option for anyone in pain.

Pain that stopped her teaching
Ruth's pain grew so extreme that she could no longer teach. She pursued very intensive physical therapy and had pretty much exhausted the other traditional avenues of medicine, but nothing really changed her pain level.
Electro-acupuncture with AJ
That's when Ruth started seeing AJ Adamczyk, our licensed acupuncturist and the owner of Thrive. In acupuncture, we use ultra-fine needles to ease pain and help the body heal itself. Ruth's care included electro-acupuncture, a light electrical current delivered through fine acupuncture needles, which AJ knows well: he developed the Electro-Acupuncture Institute.
Pain she could feel leaving
Acupuncture helped Ruth enormously, and she could feel the pain leaving her body through the needles. She believes it could help many people, whether they're suffering from pain, headaches or stress.
“I think that it should be an option for anyone who is suffering from pain, from headaches, from stress.”
