Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body’s natural painkillers (Mayo Clinic).

During An Acupuncture Session.
An usual acupuncture session take up to 20 minutes, although some appointments may be much longer. A common treatment plan for a single complaint would typically involve one or two treatments a week for three weeks. The number of treatments will depend on the condition being treated and its severity. Most of our patients are released within 6 to 8 treatments.
Acupuncture is a very safe procedure and often very relaxing. We use single-use, disposable needles, therefore, the risk of infection is minimal to none.
Acupuncture points are situated in all areas of the body. Sometimes the appropriate points are far removed from the area of your pain. Your acupuncture practitioner will tell you the general site of the planned treatment and whether you need to remove any clothing. A gown, towel or sheet will be provided.
Although acupuncture is very safe, there still could be some side effects. Common side effects include soreness and minor bleeding or bruising where the needles were inserted. Some people feel relaxed and others feel energized after an acupuncture treatment. But not everyone responds to acupuncture. If your symptoms don’t begin to improve within a few weeks, acupuncture may not be right for you (Mayo Clinic).
