The acupuncture treatments typically do not hurt. Occasionally you might feel a pinching sensation when the needles are inserted. With the needles in place, you may feel pressure, tingling, or aching, which is a desired response.
Usually, a series of treatments is necessary to resolve a condition. No two conditions or people respond exactly the same. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity and nature of the condition.
For safety purposes, the FDA requires that qualified practitioners use sterile, nontoxic, single-use only needles. The incidence of injury from acupuncture is extremely rare.
Acupuncture is used for a broad range of health issues including chronic and degenerative diseases as well as acute conditions and pain. Please speak with one of our qualified health practitioners to determine if acupuncture can help your condition.
Upon your first visit, we’ll record basic biographical information about you, and will then proceed within the diagnostic framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine to formulate a diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is complete, we will discuss the treatment plan with you, and then you will have an opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the recommended treatment plan.
Acupuncture might be covered by some of the main insurance providers. We are not accepting insurance at this time. However, you might be able to submit our receipt to be reimbursed by your insurance company.
