What Is It And How Does It Work?
Although modern science has identified mechanisms behind acupuncture, this 5,000-year-old practice from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses fine, sterilized disposable needles inserted into the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Chinese medicine is a complete system that works to correct imbalances or disharmonies in the body and mind by creating balance of qi (pronounced “chee”) or energy, and in turn, restores health and well-being.

How Is Traditional Chinese Medicine Different? What Can It Treat?
In TCM, we diagnose the imbalance with pulse and tongue diagnosis paired with a review of your current complaints and symptoms. The goal of an acupuncture treatment is to restore imbalances and create internal harmony. A treatment can last from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the condition being treated. Typically, 8 to 16 needles are used per treatment. Points can be used on the body, face, and ears and is relatively painless.
The number of treatments is dependent on the severity of the problem and an individual’s response. Acupuncture not only can treat multiple symptoms and complaints at a time but is focuses on treating the whole person, creating balance, and releases endorphins making you feel calm and at peace. It is one of the best modalities for pain and for infertility.
What Should I Expect?
A typical visit begins with a discussion of your health goals, followed by a tailored treatment session designed to promote relaxation and healing. The session usually lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. You’ll remain fully or partially clothed, depending on the areas being treated, and draping is always used to ensure your comfort and privacy.
During the session, you may experience a gentle, calming sensation as the treatment takes effect. In addition to the main therapy, other techniques like cupping might be incorporated to enhance circulation and release tension. Many people leave feeling deeply relaxed and revitalized.
