Frequently Asked Questions

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into the skin at specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy, or "qi," in the body. It is believed that stimulating these points can help balance the body's energy and promote healing.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed and trained practitioner. The needles used in acupuncture are sterile and disposable, and the treatment is typically well-tolerated by most people. However, it is important to disclose any medical conditions or medications to your practitioner before undergoing acupuncture.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture is generally not painful, but you may feel a slight sensation when the needles are inserted. Some people describe it as a tingling or dull ache, while others may not feel anything at all. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly after the needles are inserted.

What can acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, stress, anxiety, digestive issues, and infertility. It is also often used as a complementary therapy for chronic conditions like arthritis and migraines.

How long does an acupuncture session last?

Acupuncture sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the specific treatment and the practitioner's approach. It is common for the first session to be longer, as the practitioner will take a thorough medical history and discuss the treatment plan with the patient.

How many acupuncture sessions are needed?

The number of acupuncture sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient. Some people may see improvement after just one session, while others may require several sessions over a period of weeks or months. Your acupuncturist can give you an estimate of how many sessions you may need based on your individual situation.
