What to Expect from our Acupuncture Treatment

Everyone has different ailments and reasons for seeking out acupuncture treatments. So, before needle or non-needle treatments, our acupuncturists will begin with an examination and ask questions about your health, lifestyle, and issue areas to determine the best type of treatments. 

We also ask that you have something to eat before hand and that you've had no alcohol the day of your treatment. 

 Depending on the type of treatment our acupuncturists have decided is best for you, normally you will be on the table for 30-40 mins. Needles can be inserted with little to no discomfort into areas that can be accessed without requiring removal of clothing. The needles are typically left in place for 20 mins while you are able to lie and relax.

Everyone responds to treatments in different ways but normally most patients feel a deep sense of relaxation. We encourage you to be gentle on yourself and possibly take a nap when you return home. We want you to avoid returning to work and staying away from alcohol for at least 6 hrs. 

For symptom relief, it typically takes 6-8 weekly treatments then a re-evaluation can be scheduled to continue your path to wellness.
