Questions About Acupuncture and Your First Visit
-
Acupuncture involves gently inserting thin, sterile, single-use needles into specific areas of the body to encourage a healing response. These points are chosen based on connective tissue pathways and key muscular landmarks. The exact needle placement is guided by the practitioner’s assessment and tailored to your individual condition.
-
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.
