Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which utilizes extremely thin needles to stimulate particular anatomical locations to activate the body’s natural healing response. This method of medicine has been practiced for thousands of years for a variety of conditions.

Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for a wide array of conditions and has been recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) to be an effective treatment for many prevalent ailments. Acupuncture is commonly used to treat chronic pain conditions, support smoking cessation, boost the immune system, ease the symptoms of drug and alcohol withdrawal, and restore physiological processes. Similarly, acupuncture might be useful in easing depression, stress, and tension.

Examples of conditions commonly treated with acupuncture are: lower back pain, sciatic pain, hip pain, knee pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, TMJ, headaches, migraines, nausea, induction of labor, breech birth presentation, morning sickness, fertility, postoperative pain, stroke, hypertension, radiation and chemotherapy reactions, allergies, menstrual irregularities, PMS, menopausal symptoms, vertigo, fatigue, stress, depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, addiction support, asthma, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and more.

If you’re unsure if acupuncture would be a good fit for the condition you’d like support with, book a free consultation to discuss.

The sensations associated with acupuncture can vary widely by individual and by session. The most common sensations reported are a slight pinch (at insertion), tingling, warmth, dull ache, heaviness, lightness, and a radiating sensation.

Most clients find the sensations during treatment relaxing, enjoyable, mild, or tolerable. If any sensation is particularly uncomfortable or painful, it's important to communicate this immediately so adjustments can be made.

There is still value in scheduling a treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes a variety of methods outside of needles. Needleless options can include acupressure, cupping therapy, and gua sha. Be sure to let me know if you’re uncomfortable with the needles. Please also note that if you do decide to be treated with needles and you change your mind at any time in the session, let me know, and we can remove them.

Give yourself enough time for the appointment (60-90 for initial, 45-60 for return).

It’s suggested to wear loose, comfortable clothing and expect that shoes will be removed during the session. Not having a completely empty stomach before the session is highly recommended.

An individualized treatment plan will be established with you and the practitioner by the end of the initial appointment. Treatment duration can depend on various factors, including but not limited to the duration, severity, and complexity of the condition, additional health factors, and lifestyle factors.

Most often, symptoms are noticably improved by 3-4 treatments. Non-complex cases commonly take about 6 treatments with more complex or chronic cases commonly taking 10-12 treatments. Everyone responds differently to treatment so treatment plans and adjustments will be on an individual basis.
