Frequently
Asked Questions
Questions we often asked
What happens during an acupuncture session?
After an assessment of your symptoms and health history, your practitioner places sterile, single-use needles at specific points on the body. You then rest quietly for 15 to 25 minutes while the needles stay in place, and most people find this part deeply relaxing. The needles are removed and safely disposed of at the end.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are about as fine as a strand of hair, nothing like the hollow needles used for injections or blood tests. Most people feel a brief tap as one is placed, followed by a dull heaviness, warmth, or tingling around the point, which is the response we are looking for.
What can acupuncture help with?
It is most commonly used for pain and muscle tension, headaches and migraines, stress and sleep difficulties, digestive complaints, and recovery after training or injury. Acupuncture often works best alongside the other treatments in your plan rather than on its own.
How long does an acupuncture session last?
Your first appointment runs 45 to 60 minutes to allow time for a full assessment. Follow-up sessions are typically 30 to 45 minutes, which includes the 15 to 25 minutes you spend resting with the needles in place.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
Acupuncture is usually given as a short course rather than a single visit, and four to six weekly sessions is a common starting point. Recent or acute problems often respond faster, while long-standing ones take longer. Your practitioner reviews your progress as you go and adjusts the plan.
