Below are answers to some of the most common questions about acupuncture. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us — we’re happy to help.
Most people are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels.
The needles used are extremely thin — much thinner than standard medical needles. You may feel:
A small pinch upon insertion
A mild tingling sensation
A feeling of warmth or heaviness
Or nothing at all
Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed during treatment, and some even fall asleep. If you ever feel discomfort, your practitioner can adjust the needles to ensure you remain comfortable.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and your overall health.
In general:
Acute concerns may require fewer sessions
Chronic conditions often benefit from a series of treatments
Some patients choose ongoing care for wellness and maintenance
During your first visit, we’ll discuss your goals and provide a personalized treatment recommendation. Many patients report noticing changes within the first few sessions.
Acupuncture is commonly used during pregnancy when performed by a qualified practitioner trained in prenatal care.
It may help support:
Nausea and morning sickness
Back and pelvic discomfort
Stress and sleep disturbances
Preparation for labor in later stages
Certain acupuncture points are avoided during pregnancy, and treatments are always adapted to ensure safety and comfort.
