What To Expect

At your first appointment you can usually expect to spend 5 to 10 minutes going through an interview and assessment with your therapist. This initial assessment allows your therapist to have an understanding of your health history and your current reason for seeking massage therapy. Subsequent appointments typically have a shorter interview and assessment time. All appointments include time for these assessments, home care instructions, and change time at the start and end of each session.

AcupunctureWhat is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years and is a minimally invasive approach to treating pain and a variety of health issues. Acupuncture treats the body as a whole, not just by treating the presenting condition by adding a ?band aid.? Inserting very fine, sterile disposable needles superficially into specific points of the body can activate the vital life force, known as ?qi,? pronounced ?chi.? These points help the qi to encourage the body?s own innate healing abilities and help restore balance. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance in qi.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does acupuncture have any side effects?

Acupuncture therapy is widely accepted because of the fact that it has no serious side effects when performed by a Registered Acupuncturist. Some areas where the needles were inserted may feel sore or achy. This is normal and will dissipate after 24 hours. Although less common, bruising may occur. They generally don?t hurt and disappear within a few days following treatment.

2.Are the acupuncture needles safe?

Completely. Needles are made of stainless steel
they are pre-sterilized and disposed of after each treatment.

3. What does acupuncture feel like?

Patients describe sensations from dull, slightly aching, numbness or tingling to a fullness/ distending or pressure and even heaviness sensations. It should never hurt or be sharp. If this does occur, this means it has either gone through a hair follicle or hit a vein. If this happens, the acupuncturist will either re-angle the needle to where it doesn?t hurt or take it out altogether.

4. What can I expect after an acupuncture treatment?

Patients note a relaxation and peaceful feeling which can last for the day or for a week. They also mention they have a better night?s sleep and wake well-rested the next day. The most important thing patients notice is relief from symptoms soon after their first treatment.
