Welcome to our Acupuncture FAQs page! Here, we address the most common questions people have about acupuncture to help you feel more informed and comfortable about your experience. If you still have questions after reading, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.

How Many Sessions Will I Need for Acupuncture?

The number of acupuncture sessions required depends on your individual condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment.

• Chronic conditions may require more frequent sessions initially (typically 2-3 times per week), with a gradual reduction as improvement occurs.
• Acute conditions may require fewer treatments, with noticeable results after 1-2 sessions.
• Maintenance treatments are often suggested once symptoms are under control to maintain overall health and wellness.

We will tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Yes! Acupuncture is a safe and well-established therapeutic practice. It has been used for thousands of years with a strong safety record. Our licensed acupuncturists follow the highest safety standards, ensuring your experience is both effective and comfortable. Acupuncture uses sterile, single-use needles, minimizing any risk of infection or complications.

If you have concerns or specific medical conditions, we will review your health history before beginning treatment to ensure acupuncture is right for you.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Most people experience little to no discomfort during acupuncture. While you may feel a slight prick when the needle is inserted, it should not be painful. Some people even feel a deep sense of relaxation after the session.

In rare cases, you might feel a mild sensation of warmth, tingling, or heaviness around the needle site, which is a normal response indicating that your body is adjusting to the treatment.

Insurance and Payment Options for Acupuncture

We understand that cost is an important consideration. Many insurance providers now cover acupuncture services, especially for pain management and wellness treatments. Our clinic works with a variety of insurance companies, and we can help you verify your coverage before you begin treatment.

If your insurance does not cover acupuncture, we offer affordable self-pay options, including packages for multiple sessions to make ongoing treatments more accessible.
