What’s acupuncture?

An ancient therapy now thriving in the West, acupuncture uses hair-thin, solid needles inserted at precise body points. These stimulate the central and peripheral nervous systems. This action prompts the release of endorphins and enkephalins. They are your body’s natural painkillers and immune regulators.

Do the needles hurt?

The top concern- and the easiest to dispel. Acupuncture needles are roughly the thickness of a dog’s whisker. Most people feel only a subtle sensation such as a tingle, heaviness, or warmth. More often than not, they feel nothing at all and only experience relief of their chief complaint.

Are needles reused?

Never. All needles are sterile, single-use, and disposed of after each session.

How often should I come in?

We start with the frequency needed to bring your condition under control. This often requires several visits per week. Then, we strategically reduce the frequency as symptoms resolve. Your personalized plan is set at the first visit and refined after every session.

Will my insurance cover my treatments?

We are unable to bill your insurance directly. However, we can provide a detailed superbill upon request. You can submit this directly to your insurer for potential reimbursement.

How long is an acupuncture session?

Usually between 30 minutes and an hour.
