How does Acupuncture work?
FAQsThis ancient healing art has been used in China for over 4,500 years. Its use expanded throughout Europe as far back as the 1700's. Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network traversing just below the surface of the skin that communicates from the exterior to the internal organs and structure at over 1,000 "Acupoints" on the body. This energy works in harmony with the body's circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive and all other systems of the body. When this vital energy becomes blocked or weakened, it can alter the entire system, producing pain or symptoms in the body. Acupuncture's goal is to stimulate one or a combination of key "Acupoints" on the body to restore harmony to the affected area.

Is Acupuncture painful?
There are many ways to stimulate an Acupoint - needles, electronic stimulation, cold laser beam or pressure massage, singularly or in combination. Does it hurt, you ask? Four acupuncture needles could easily fit into one hypodermic needle. Because of the extreme slenderness, most people compare the sensation as “less than a mosquito bite”. The other methods of stimulation compare to being tapped by a ballpoint pen or totally painless. We also offer non-needle therapy which offers the same results as traditional acupuncture!

How many treatments are usual?
Since each person is unique, the number of treatments needed will vary. Among the determining factors are the type of condition, whether the condition is chronic or acute, and the vitality of the individual. Again, you should discuss your treatment program with your acupuncturist.
