Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and relieve pain.

Most patients report feeling little to no pain during acupuncture treatment. You may feel a slight sensation or pressure as the needles are inserted, but it is generally not uncomfortable. While the needles are in, it is completely normal to feel a dull ache, numbness, heaviness, or distension in the area that is needled.

Yes, acupuncture is considered a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of health conditions when administered by a qualified acupuncturist. All of our acupuncturists are licensed and trained in safe needling techniques.

Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including pain relief (such as headaches, back pain, neck pain, and joint pain), anxiety and depression, digestive disorders, menstrual irregularities, allergies and asthma, insomnia, fatigue, and much more.

During your initial visit, our acupuncturist will take a detailed health history and conduct a physical exam. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. During the treatment, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table while thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on your body.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual and their health condition. Most patients experience significant relief from their symptoms after just a few treatments, but some may require ongoing treatment to maintain their health.

It is recommended that you wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for your acupuncture treatment. You should also eat a light meal before your appointment and avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol on the day of your treatment.
