Question 1

What is acupuncture and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. It's primarily used to relieve pain but also has been used to treat other conditions. The fundamental theory behind acupuncture is the balance of energy, which flows through meridians in the body. By inserting needles at specific points along these meridians, acupuncture can rebalance your energy flow.

Question 2

How can acupuncture benefit me?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture can provide a wide range of benefits including pain reduction, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and stress relief. It can also enhance the body's functions and promote the natural self-healing process. Each session is tailored to the individual patient's needs, providing a holistic approach to health and wellness.

Question 3

Is acupuncture treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Most patients report feeling minimal pain as the needles are inserted. The needles used in acupuncture are very thin and specifically designed to minimize discomfort. Some people even describe the treatment as relaxing. However, it's normal to feel a mild sensation of heat, pressure, or tingling at the insertion points.

Question 4

How many acupuncture treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of acupuncture treatments needed varies from person to person and depends on the condition being treated. Some people experience significant improvement after one treatment, while others may need several sessions to achieve the desired results. Our experienced chiropractor will discuss an individualized treatment plan during your initial consultation.

Question 5

Are there any side effects of acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture is generally safe when performed by an experienced, well-trained practitioner using sterile needles. However, like any treatment, it could potentially have side effects. These may include soreness, minor bleeding, or bruising at the needle sites. If you have any concerns, please discuss them with our chiropractor before your treatment.
