FAQs
Do I need to have a specific health concern to receive acupuncture?
The short answer is No. Acupuncture is a preventative medicine and helps to support the body overall - optimizing athletic performance by increasing muscle range of motion, to reducing stress, or boosting your immune system to prevent future illness.
How often should I receive treatments?
Frequency of treatment is dependent on the nature of your health concern. In general, acute conditions respond more favorably to acupuncture and sometimes two to three treatments can address the problem. Chronic problems may require a longer course of treatment since they emerged over a longer period of time and may affect multiple areas of the body.
What does it feel like?
Acupuncture is generally painless, but different sensations can be felt. Common experiences include a feeling of warmth, lightness, slight heaviness, or an achy feeling depending on the point. Patients often become deeply relaxed on the table and fall asleep during the treatment.
