Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Acupuncture is well-known for helping with pain, whether it's chronic neck, back, shoulder pain, or something like arthritis. Many people find significant relief after just a few sessions.
Desired sensations are dull, ache, pressure, heavy and muscle contractions are common. If you feel a prolonged sharp/burning sensation let us know, so we can adjust.
It depends on the issue you're dealing with. Some people feel better after one session, but most cases require a few treatments to get lasting results. Your acupuncturist will tailor the treatment to you.
Nope, they're different! Cupping uses suction cups to help with muscle tension by mobilizing soft tissue and improving circulation. Gua Sha, on the other hand, involves lightly scraping the skin to mobilize tissues, reduce pain, and improve movement. Both feel amazing and are great for pain relief.
Yes, it can! Acupuncture activates the body's rest and digest portion of the nervous system, which can help calm your nerves and ease anxiety. It's a natural way to manage stress with or without meds.
Acupuncture can be a great option if other treatments haven't worked, especially for chronic pain. It's natural, non-invasive, and often addresses things from a different angle. Many people find relief when other methods didn't help.
Not necessarily! It really depends on your condition. Some people need regular sessions, while others just come in when they're feeling tight or sore. You and your acupuncturist will figure out what's best for you.
