CAREFREE – The “miracle bell” on the counter in the shared front office of Carefree Acupuncture and Princeton West is there for patients to ring when they experience a personal healing miracle. The fact it rings throughout the day during office hours attests to the effectiveness of the treatment combination of Acupuncture and chiropractic practiced by Dr. John Amaro and Dr. Debra Richel. Acupuncture balances the electromagnetic field of the body; computerized testing is used to show when balance is reached.
Asian and Western herbal therapies, primarily from ancient time tested formulae, many of which are over 400 years old with some as historic as 1,800 years, are available.
One can easily imagine inserting a needle into the skin would be painful since most of us can relate to having a hypodermic injection or being stuck by a pin. However, five Acupuncture needles can be inserted into the shaft of a hypodermic needle. Most people compare the sensation to less than a mosquito bite.
Meridian therapy, practicing the principle of Acupuncture without the use of a needle, is also provided by Dr. Amaro and Dr. Richel. Laser Acupuncture is one of several techniques practiced since 1973.
Dr. John Amaro, a licensed chiropractor at the time, was a student in the first Acupuncture class in this country in 1972. Patients from four continents have visited Dr. Amaro’s personal clinic for treatment in Carefree. He is the developer of the Electro Meridian Imaging Diagnostic computer software for acupuncture electronic diagnosis, the internationally accepted acupuncture jet lag treatment and laser face lifts.
Dr. Debra Richel also offers individual VIP care and specializes in lifestyle changes.
