Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and restore balance.

Acupuncture needles are very thin, so the insertion is usually painless or only causes minimal discomfort. Some patients may experience a slight tingling or sensation at the insertion site, but it is generally well-tolerated.

Acupuncture can effectively address a wide range of conditions, including pain management, stress and anxiety, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, insomnia, and more. It can also be used as a complementary therapy for other medical treatments.

The number of acupuncture sessions required varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some acute conditions may show improvement after just a few sessions, while chronic or complex conditions may require ongoing treatment over a longer period.

When performed by a licensed and trained acupuncturist, acupuncture is generally considered safe. Sterile, single-use needles are used to minimize the risk of infection or complications. It is important to disclose your medical history and any medications you are taking to ensure safe and effective treatment.

An acupuncture session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The duration may vary based on the specific treatment plan and individual needs.

During an acupuncture session, you will be comfortably positioned, and the acupuncturist will insert the needles into the predetermined points. You may feel a gentle sensation or a mild tingling. After the needles are in place, you will have some time to relax and allow the treatment to take effect.

Acupuncture is generally well-tolerated, and the risk of side effects is minimal. However, some individuals may experience temporary soreness, bruising, or slight bleeding at the needle insertion sites. These reactions are typically mild and subside quickly.

Coverage for acupuncture varies depending on your insurance provider and policy. Some insurance plans may offer partial or full coverage for acupuncture treatments. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage. You can also click here.
