Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system. In addition to traditional acupuncture, we also offer needle-free laser acupuncture based on the same principles.

Marc is an expert in advanced acupuncture who specializes in working with women and men during treatment for infertility in NJ.

“For almost a decade I have exclusively practiced acupuncture focused on fertility and reproductive health.  I have extensively studied medicine from both an Eastern and Western perspective and I feel that my experience and knowledge enables me to help patients to understand the treatment process and manage the stress that often comes along with their treatment.” – Marc Passmann, L.AC., SABORM

Marc custom-designs a course of fertility treatment that meets each patient’s individual needs.  He often combines traditional therapies with advanced approaches, including gentler styles of Japanese acupuncture.  Using these techniques he is able to target the specific causes of Qi imbalance and corrects them.
