Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

A modality that has been in practice for thousands of years, Acupuncture is a minimally invasive approach to pain and health management. Treating the body as a whole, acupuncture helps balance the flow of energy or life force, known as “qi” (pronouced “chi”). The practitioner inserts very thin, sterile disposable needles through the skin superficially into specific points on the body. These points help the qi encourage the body to restore balance.

Conditions that Acupuncture Can Treat:

  • Chemotherapy-induced & postoperative nausea

  • Dental pain

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches, including tension headaches and migraines

  • Labor pain

  • Lower back pain

  • Neck pain

What to Expect

Initial Consultation & Treatment: 55 - 75 minutes

Subsequent Treatments: 45 - 50 minutes

When you first arrive for your initial acupuncture treatment, your practitioner will go through a detailed discussion with you to investigate your main complaint, as well as your overall health. From there, they will work with you to develop the most appropriate treatment plan that will target your main complaint and any other conditions addressed in during the initial discussion. You will be offered an acupuncture treatment based on this treatment plan.
