What Is Acupuncture

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It works by stimulating specific points on your body using hair-thin needles to restore balance and promote natural healing.

When your body’s energy (called Qi or Chi) becomes blocked or unbalanced, you experience pain, illness, or dysfunction. Acupuncture unblocks this flow, allowing your body to heal itself naturally.

Many people worry about needles, but acupuncture needles are incredibly thin—about the width of a hair. Most patients barely feel them going in, and the relief you experience far outweighs any momentary discomfort.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

During your session, our licensed acupuncturist strategically places hair-thin needles at specific points on your body. These points correspond to meridians—pathways through which your body’s energy flows.

Acupuncture stimulates your nervous system to release endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers), reduces inflammation, and improves blood circulation to affected areas. It also helps regulate hormones, calm your nervous system, and restore balance to your body’s natural healing processes.

Most patients report feeling deeply relaxed during treatment. Many experience immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvement over a series of visits. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your specific condition and how long you’ve been dealing with it.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your first acupuncture session begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. This helps us understand the root cause of your issues—not just the symptoms.

After your evaluation, you’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table while we place the needles. The needles typically stay in place for 20-30 minutes while you relax. Many patients fall asleep during this time.

After your session, we’ll discuss your personalized treatment plan, including how many sessions we recommend and any lifestyle changes that could support your healing.

FAQ’s

Acupuncture

Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Most people don’t feel pain during acupuncture. You might feel a brief pinch or tingling sensation when the needle goes in, but it’s typically very mild. The needles are hair-thin—much smaller than the needles used for shots or blood draws. Once the needles are in place, most patients feel relaxed and calm.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and how long you’ve had it. Acute issues (like a recent injury) may respond quickly in 1-3 sessions. Chronic conditions often require 6-10 sessions for lasting relief. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan after your evaluation.
Yes! Acupuncture is extremely safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. We use single-use, sterile needles and follow strict safety protocols. Side effects are rare and typically limited to minor bruising or temporary soreness at needle sites.
Many insurance plans now cover acupuncture, especially for pain management. We can help you verify your benefits. We also accept HSA/FSA cards and offer affordable package pricing for self-pay patients.
