Frequently Asked Questions

Diving right into our FAQ section, here’s a closer look at this unique services. We’ve compiled answers to some frequently asked questions to help you better understand what this service entails.

Is Medical Acupuncture painful?

While the idea of needles may sound intimidating, Medical Acupuncture is generally not painful. The needles used in acupuncture are significantly thinner than those used for injections or blood draws. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief prick or tingling, followed by a deep sense of relaxation. However, it’s important to note that everyone’s experience with acupuncture is unique, and what one person feels may not be the same as another.

Medical Acupuncture treatment works by stimulating specific points in the body, known as acupuncture points. This stimulation can help to improve the body’s functions and promote natural self-healing. It’s believed to do this by boosting the body’s nervous system, which, in turn, triggers chemical responses in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the perception of pain or release other chemicals that influence the body’s self-regulating systems, thereby aiding overall wellbeing.
