 Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
The theory and practice of acupuncture is based on Oriental medicine (also known as traditional Chinese medicine), a comprehensive natural health care system that has been used in Asian countries for thousands of years to preserve health and diagnose, treat, and prevent illness.
How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture treats health conditions by stimulating "acu-points" found at specific locations on the surface of the body. Acupuncturists stimulate the acu-points by inserting very thin needles through the
skin to produce physiological effects.
Is Acupuncture safe?
Today's Acupuncturists use sterile, one time use, disposable needles.
Is Acupuncture painful?
Acupuncture is generally not painful. You will generally feel a heavy, dull sensation upon insertion. Most people find acupuncture relaxing and it in not unusual for patients to fall asleep during a treatment.
What should I expect during the first visit? The first visit is generally 60 to 90 minutes in length and consists of a through exam and investigation of your health along with an acupuncture treatment. We recommend wearing loose fitting clothing to your treatment along with eating a small snack before you come.
