 Most people are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture is. The needles are much thinner than those used for injections. You may feel a brief pinch during insertion or sensations such as warmth, heaviness, tingling, or a dull ache, which are all considered normal. Some people may be sensitive or weary of needles, the good news is that there are many other treatment options to choose from if acupuncture isn't right for you!

  Your first visit includes a detailed health consultation where we'll discuss your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, sleep, digestion, and goals. During your appointment we will also check your tongue and pulses, these are two diagnostic tools used in TCM to gain deeper insight into how the body is working. Your practitioner will discuss their findings with you and make recommendations on diet and lifestyle changes to help best support your body. A personalized treatment plan will then be created, followed by your first treatment.

Some people notice improvement after one treatment, while chronic conditions often benefit from a series of treatments. Patients often see best results with at least 6 consecutive treatments, ideally one week apart.
