Frequently Asked Questions

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been used for 3,000 years as a key treatment modality of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy, or life force, known as chi or qi (pronounced chee). The chi is believed to flow through pathways, or meridians, in your body. Acupuncture can safely treat many conditions without side effects.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture needles are the size of a few human hairs and usually cause little to no pain. Most people describe an acupuncture treatment as very relaxing and many even fall asleep. 

​

Eating Before Treatment is Recommended

Having something in your stomach before going in for acupuncture is strongly recommended so you’ll have enough energy. 

​

​

Needles Are Only Used Once

If you’re worried about needles being used on other clients, keep in mind that acupuncturists are required to dispose of used needles and use brand new ones for each treatment.

​

Loose Clothing is Recommended

Wearing loose clothes makes it easier for acupuncturists to get to targeted areas without having you remove any clothing. If you do need to take anything off, you can expect to be fully draped.
