Yikes! Needles !!!
Does it hurt? Think about it, if acupuncture was so painful do you think it would still be around after all these 4000+ years? This is by far the most frequent question. The answer: Your response to acupuncture needles will be unique to you. Most people find the sensations to be “zingy” somewhat electrical, dull, energetic, buzzy or not much feeling at all. The needles are so thin you can fit 5 of them inside a vaccination needle. They are sterile, used once, discarded in safe containers. Pain is NOT the goal, so if someone is in pain it is quickly addressed. Most patients find it incredibly relaxing and often times fall asleep. They typically leave feeling a sense of relaxation and energized. Experience it for yourself. You may be very pleasantly surprised.
How many times would I need to come in before my health concerns improve?
Simply put, it’s relative to individual needs. Given your “story,” your health background, treatment and outcomes are relative to your health history, your lifestyle and how you choose to participate in the healing process. For instance if you come in for seasonal allergies, the reason you have the allergies is unique to you as opposed to the next person coming in the door for allergy relief. Speaking of allergies….this doesn’t have to continue to be part of your story. Acupuncture is highly effective in making allergies a thing of the past. Rest assure any synthetic meds you may be taking are not truly healing you…only providing a temporary band-aid, and possibly worsening things, causing damage to your organs and nasal tissue. It’s fact. As you can see from the article below, the side effects are numerous.
