As an acupuncturist, I get several questions, and part of my role is to educate the public about the benefits and issues acupuncture can address. It is rewarding to help people understand how this healing art can improve their wellbeing.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on
if the condition is acute or chronic?
Typically, acute conditions require fewer treatments, while a chronic issue may take several months to achieve results.
Underlying health conditions and age are also factors.
Does acupuncture only treat pain?
No, acupuncture is effective and beneficial for:
Fertility
Hormone imbalance
Sleep issues
Perimenopause/menopause
Labor Prep
Pregnancy
Healthy aging
Cosmetic/holsitic beauty
Digestive issues and more!
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture is an ancient medicine. Tiny, hair-like sterile needles are placed at specific points on the body to stimulate healing, increase blood flow and circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Do you have to believe in acupuncture for it to work?
No, acupuncture is used in veterinary medicine and on children and babies. You don’t need to believe it will work to see progress.
Is it painful?
Generally, no. Acupuncture needles are thin, like the width of a human hair. While patients may feel a slight sensation when the needle is inserted, many often report experiencing warmth or gentle tingling.
Everyone is an individual and will have different outcomes. Healing takes time and a commitment to treatment for successful results.
