No. You will not.

When using the electrical stimulation on the needles I will always ask those receiving it to tell me when they first start feeling the electrical current buzzing and when to stop.

I also tell everyone that stopping is a personal preference, but we never want to be in pain.

Some people enjoy when the muscles twitch and dance, some people like when the muscles contract and move their entire body and some people like some degree of the buzzing.

No amount of stimulation is right or wrong because everyone is different.

If you want to max the machine out, that’s fine, but I still don’t want you to be in pain while doing it. Being in pain is counterproductive as your muscles will tense up, your nervous system will be on alert and we’re probably just adding to the problem.

Personal preference is best, reducing pain is usually the goal and no gold stars will be given.

Did you know acupuncture is beneficial for athletes?

It can be used to improve performance, enhance recovery following training and aid with healing from injuries.

Acupuncture can help wth recovery by reducing inflammation, aiding relaxation which lowers heart rate, improving sleep quality and more.

When we take our self care seriously between training we can also improve our performance by reducing soreness, muscle tightness and more which allows us to train harder for longer without our body forcing rest.

Acupuncture can very much help with injuries that have recently occurred, even if the joint you hurt is the size of a cantaloupe.

The severity of the pain and the sensitivity of the joint you hurt will be the determining factor on if we use needles in the local area of the joint or use distal points.

In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), there are many different ways to treat an area without actually touching that area as the body is interconnected.

These distal points can still help with pain and swelling reduction, and aiding in the healing process.

If you are currently injured and want to find out more, send me a DM or use the link in my bio to book an appointment.

Of course!

Acupuncture isn’t just there for when things go wrong, but using it for maintenance can help things continue to go right.

Booking maintenance appointments very month or two can help with keeping your mind and body relaxed.

It can also be helpful to keep sleep on track and stop muscle soreness from getting too out of hand.

Although most people come to get acupuncture for pain and/or injuries, acupuncture can also be beneficial for irregular menstrual cycles, IBS, stress, sleep and more.

That point we do between your eyebrows?

That’s called YINTANG.

Yingtang is a great point for helping promote relaxation, calm the mind, ease anxiety and stress and then some.

Most individuals are pretty big fans of this point and will ask for it specifically if they are feeling stressed out and need to bring some calmness back to their body.

Sound like something you need?

I’ll be honest and say that I’m not always on top of my own self care.

I tend to focus on staying on top of my sleep hygiene, drinking enough water, eating enough for training and recovery and not overtraining, but I am a derailed train when it comes to body work.

We all have the ability to find what works for us and to focus on what needs more attention at the moment.

Self care means different things for everyone and there’s nothing wrong with that.

If you need some acupuncture in your life for your self care, send me a DM or use the link in my bio to book an appointment!

Wear something comfortable!

Honestly, this obviously can’t immediately happen if you’re coming directly from work, but you can always pack some comfy shorts and a loose shirt with you.

Wearing things that are non restrictive make the appointment way comfier and stops the potential occurrence of pant legs cutting off circulation and being unable to relax on the appointment table.

If you do happen to forget, you also have the option of removing clothing to your comfort level and we use blankets to cover you up.

The main goal of the appointment is to get you feeling better, so please make sure you’re comfy, hydrated and not hangry!

Sometimes, we’re just not good at making time for self care.

And that’s okay.

But sometimes we need to make sure to take care of ourselves before the wheels all fall off.

It’s way easier to deal with small issues before they turn in to big issues.

It’s also way easier to ignore small issues until they’re big issues.
