Whether you’re looking for relief from hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, stress, or simply in need of self-care, acupuncture could be the perfect solution for you.
How it works
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points along the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these pathways allow the flow of vital energy (Qi) throughout the body. When Qi is balanced and flowing freely, the body is in harmony and can function optimally.
Acupuncture stimulates these points to restore balance, improve circulation, regulate the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing processes. It can help alleviate blockages in energy flow, reduce inflammation, and promote overall physical and emotional well-being.
Uses
Acupuncture is a versatile treatment option that can help with a wide range of conditions, including:
Frequently asked questions
How Many Sessions Are Required?
The number of acupuncture sessions required can vary depending on the condition being treated,
the severity of the symptoms, and the individual’s overall health. Some people may experience
relief after just one session, while others may need a series of treatments for more chronic or
complex issues.
For most conditions, we typically recommend a course of 6 to 12 sessions, spaced one to two
weeks apart. As progress is made, the frequency of treatments may decrease, with maintenance
sessions recommended to support long-term wellness.
How to Prepare for an Acupuncture Visit
To get the most out of your acupuncture treatment, it’s helpful to follow a few simple guidelines:
• Eat something light before your session: Having a small meal or snack before your visit
can help keep your energy levels stable.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing: Acupuncture points are often located on the arms,
legs, and back, so wearing clothing that allows easy access to these areas is ideal.
• Avoid caffeine and heavy meals: It’s best to avoid caffeinated drinks or large meals right
before your treatment, as they may interfere with relaxation.
• Arrive relaxed: If possible, try to arrive at your appointment feeling calm and at ease. You
may want to take a few deep breaths or practice mindfulness before your session.
What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session
During your acupuncture session, you’ll be asked to lie comfortably on a treatment table. Very fine, sterile needles will be inserted into specific points on your body. The needles are not painful, and many people experience a sense of deep relaxation during the session. Some may feel a slight sensation of pressure, warmth, or tingling at the needle sites, which is a sign that the energy is being activated. After the needles are in place, you’ll rest for about 20-30 minutes while the acupuncture points take effect. The treatment itself is typically painless, and many patients report feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated afterward.
