Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is acupuncture and how does it work?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and balance energy (Qi). This will improve the flow of energy, reduce pain, and support overall health.

2. Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, when performed by a licensed and trained acupuncturist, acupuncture is very safe. The needles are sterile, single-use, and very thin, minimizing the risk of complications or discomfort.

3. Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel little to no pain. You may experience a slight tingling or dull ache at the insertion point, but many people find acupuncture to be relaxing and even fall asleep during the session.

4. How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on your condition, its severity, and your overall health. Some patients experience relief after just one session, while others may need multiple treatments over weeks or months for lasting results.

5. What should I do before and after my acupuncture session?

Before your session, eat a light meal and wear comfortable clothing. Avoid alcohol and heavy exercise right after treatment. Rest, stay hydrated, and follow any personalized advice from your acupuncturist.

6. Can acupuncture be combined with other treatments or medications?

Yes, acupuncture can safely complement most medical treatments and therapies. Be sure to inform your acupuncturist about any medications or ongoing treatments so they can tailor your care accordingly.
