Your Questions, Answered
-
Most people find acupuncture very relaxing. The needles are extremely thin, and you may feel a brief sensation when a needle is inserted, followed by feelings of heaviness, warmth, tingling, or relaxation. Your comfort is always a priority throughout treatment. Some treatments are aimed towards muscle release and during these sessions there may be slight discomfort followed by instant relief. These sessions may leave you feeling a bit sore, similar to a strong workout session, with increased freedom and mobility.
-
That's completely okay. Many people come to acupuncture feeling unsure about needles. We’ll go at your pace, talk through the process, and make sure you feel comfortable before and throughout treatment. Current patients have started their journey fearful of needles; after noticing the benefits and effects acupuncture has as well as the safe space provided they no longer are nervous.
-
Your first appointment includes a thorough intake and assessment so we can understand what is going on beyond just your primary complaint. We’ll discuss your goals, health history, lifestyle, and symptoms before creating an individualized treatment plan. Treatment may include acupuncture alongside techniques such as cupping, gua sha, or manual therapy when appropriate.
-
This depends on your goals, how long you’ve been experiencing the issue, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people notice changes after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments. We’ll reassess as we go and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
-
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body is viewed as an interconnected system. Factors such as stress, sleep, digestion, and emotional wellbeing can influence how you feel physically and how your body responds to treatment. These questions help create a more complete picture of your health.
