Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

Very fine sterile hair-like needles (FDA approved) are tapped through the skin via a tube. This allows relatively painless insertion. When the needle reaches the acupuncture point, just under the skin, you are likely to feel either a tingling sensation or heaviness in the muscle, which may last throughout the treatment or may subside after a few moments. Some patients report feelings of floating or profound relaxation during the treatment.

 

How does it work?

Fine needles are inserted just below the surface of the skin along a pathway of energy, called meridians. These pathways run throughout the body and into the organs. The action of the needle adjusts the flow of energy throughout the channels, stimulating and balancing the person’s own unique energetics to restore health. So why does the energy in the channels decrease or become blocked in the first place? Stress, sudden emotional shocks, fear, sadness, worry, grief, anxiety, poor diet, lack of exercise, environmental influences and hazardous chemicals may all over time slow, congest, or block the energy.

 

How long will it take to see the results?

90% of people notice a change immediately. They usually feel brighter, have increased energy, and feel more relaxed. This is an indication that the treatment is working. Results naturally vary from person to person, as every body is unique.

 

Does it work for everyone?

Most people gain the results they are looking for. Sometimes life circumstances may impact the treatment. If so, this will be discussed during the sessions. If during the course of treatment it is discovered that another therapy would be more suitable this will be discussed with you and the most appropriate therapy will be explored.

 

How many treatments will I need?

This will vary depending on how long you have had your condition. If you have had a symptom for 20 years it is likely you will need more treatment than someone who has had a condition for only one year. However, this is not a hard and fast rule. Results can be quite dramatic, no matter how long a person has been unwell. 

 

Are the needles sterile?

Yes. All needles are stainless steel and are safely disposed of after each treatment.
