About

Karen Flicker

I was privileged to have had the opportunity to the create and implement Princeton Medical Center’s Outpatient Acupuncture program in 4 sites ( ’02-’05) where my 25 years of Orthopedic and Neurologic Rehabilitation experience as an Occupational Therapist helped with the development of treatments that drew from the best of western and eastern philosophies.

Since opening my practice in 2001, taking time to get to know my patients and developing individualized treatment plans are my highest priorities.

I lecture at many venues throughout the year on the benefits of Acupuncture and alternative medicine and have provided educational sessions for Whole Foods Market, the Cancer Institute at Princeton Medical Center, and at many Senior communities.

Most people seek out Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine after being disappointed with the results of medications and other treatments. Even the strongest modern drugs usually can only mask symptoms, not cause healing. True healing is only possible when your body heals itself.

That’s what makes Acupuncture and Chinese herbs so powerful. They work by assisting your body’s self-healing mechanisms and correcting biochemical imbalances.

As acupuncturists, we’ve been privileged to see many, many cases of healing, even after nothing else worked. Please review the ‘How Karen Works’ page to see if acupuncture and herbal medicine may be appropriate for you.
