Acupuncture involves the careful placement of ultra-thin, sterile, single-use needles into targeted areas of the body to stimulate a natural healing response. These specific points are chosen based on connective tissue pathways and certain muscle landmarks. The location of each needle is determined by your unique condition and the practitioner’s diagnostic assessment, helping to promote balance and relief tailored to your needs.

Acupuncture promotes healing by restoring balance to the body’s energy flow, or "Qi," based on the Eastern idea that blockages cause pain and imbalance. From a Western view, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, releasing natural pain-relievers like beta-endorphins and enkephalins. Studies show it supports functions like hormonal regulation, circulation, and inflammation control, making it effective for managing pain and wellness.

The time it takes to see results can vary depending on the condition being treated. For acute issues, improvement may be seen in as few as 4-6 sessions. Chronic conditions often require 8 or more treatments to experience significant progress. We assess your progress weekly to ensure you're moving toward your health goals, and we'll adjust your treatment plan as needed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Acupuncture is typically not painful. Most people find it relaxing and soothing, with a sensation often described as light, tingling, or warm. It should never be painful. If you have concerns or questions about a specific condition, we're here to support you and ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Feel free to reach out—we’re happy to address any concerns.

Yes, and we can help check your benefits! We also recommend confirming your coverage directly with your insurance provider. The Violette House is currently in-network with BlueCross BlueShield. Depending on whether you have a deductible, you may only need to pay a co-pay. Some insurance companies will specify which conditions they cover, and if you don’t have any of these billable conditions (usually pain-related), you will be asked to pay the time-of-service price.
