Q: Does acupuncture hurt?
A: Most patients feel little to no pain. The needles are very thin—about the width of a hair. You may feel a light pinch or tingling sensation, but many people find it deeply relaxing.
Q: What should I wear to my appointment?
A: Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to your arms, legs, and abdomen. We also have sheets and blankets if adjustments are needed.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: This depends on your condition and how your body responds. Some patients feel better after just one session, while others may need several to see lasting results. Your acupuncturist will create a plan that works for you.
Q: Is acupuncture safe?
A: Yes! When performed by a licensed practitioner, acupuncture is very safe. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict hygiene protocols.
Q: Can I combine acupuncture with other treatments?
A: Absolutely. Acupuncture works well alongside chiropractic care, massage, physical therapy, and other holistic or medical treatments.
Q: Are herbs always prescribed?
A: Not always, but your acupuncturist may recommend Chinese herbs to support your healing between sessions. We'll only suggest them if they’re appropriate for your individual needs.
