Frequently Asked Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people feel little to no pain during acupuncture. The needles are extremely thin—much thinner than typical injection needles—and many patients find the experience relaxing or even calming.

What conditions can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture is effective for a wide range of issues including chronic pain, stress, anxiety, digestive problems, insomnia, headaches, and emotional imbalances. It supports your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and health goals. Some people feel improvement after just one treatment, while chronic conditions may require multiple sessions over weeks or months.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes a detailed consultation where we discuss your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle. This helps tailor your treatment plan. Then, you’ll receive acupuncture, possibly combined with other therapies like cupping or herbal medicine.

Are Chinese herbs safe?

Yes, when prescribed by a licensed practitioner, Chinese herbal formulas are safe and customized to your individual needs. We carefully select herbs to avoid interactions and side effects.

Can children receive acupuncture?

Absolutely! We offer gentle and age-appropriate acupuncture treatments for children to help with issues like allergies, digestive problems, or stress.

How should I prepare for acupuncture?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid heavy meals or alcohol right before treatment. Drink plenty of water and come with an open mind.

What are the side effects of acupuncture?

Side effects are rare but may include mild bruising, slight soreness, or fatigue after treatment. Most patients feel relaxed and energized.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we may accept insurance depending on your specific insurance company, plan, and acupuncture benefits. Coverage can vary, so patients are encouraged to review the Insurance page for more information and contact the clinic with their insurance details so benefits can be verified before treatment. We also welcome private-pay patients.
