Does Acupuncture hurt?

​

With an experienced practitioner, Acupuncture causes minimal to no pain. The needles used during Acupuncture are very fine and are nothing like the hypodermic needles used to give injections at a doctor's office. A patient may feel a slight prick similar to a mosquito bite when the needle is first inserted. At times, a tingling, dull ache, or warm sensation may be experienced at the point where the needle is inserted. This is a desired affect and should not be uncomfortable. Patients often feel so relaxed that they will fall asleep.

​

How often do I have to come?

Treatments are done on a weekly basis, usually three times a week for the first two weeks, twice a week for a month or so, and once a week after that. Once the condition has been controlled and you are symptom-free, the treatments are done less frequently.

​

Problems that have been around for a long time usually take more treatments to resolve than ones that have come about recently. Your treatment course will be determined after the first visit and reassessed after each session.

​

How many treatments will I need?

​

The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your condition and how long you’ve had the illness.

 

In China, after the first initial consultation and examination you would receive a series of daily treatments over the course of two to four weeks (of course in China acupuncture is widely mainstream and 100% covered by insurance). In order to increase the accumulated effects of treatment and increase your body's  healing capacity, we recommend that you initially receive 2-4 treatments a week.

Generally speaking a half dozen to a dozen treatments will stabilize your condition. This depends upon the duration, severity, and nature of the complaint.

​

Generally from one dozen to 20 treatments are adequate for the majority of chronic disorders. Some acute conditions may only require several treatments and some degenerative conditions may require as many as 40 or more treatments. However, the patient has the right to expect that their major complaint will be addressed and treated in a direct and timely manner. The frequency of treatments will become less as your body starts to heal itself. We strongly recommend correcting the root of your problem,  not the symptoms. To maximize your optimal health we also suggest adding into your budget regular treatments every couple of weeks.
