Are you curious about acupuncture, but aren't sure what to expect? Here are some commonly asked questions answered by Dr. Shianne!

❔ Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people would be surprised by how gentle acupuncture is! You may experience feeling a light prick, but the needles we use are very thin, so most patients don't even feel them going in.

❔ What conditions does acupuncture help with?
Acupuncture can be used for a wide variety of conditions. Some of the most common include migraines/headaches, chronic pain, general anxiety, and sleep disturbances. But there is so much more that can be treated with acupuncture therapy!

❔ How many sessions will I need for acupuncture?
This depends on the condition being treated, so treatment sessions can look different from person to person. Acute conditions may experience relief after 1-3 sessions, whereas chronic issues or stress and anxiety may require 6-10 sessions. Every person and body is different!

❔ What should I wear?
You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. We often need access to forearms, hands, knees, and feet. If you are unsure about what to wear, wear layers or bring some shorts to your visit!

❔ Is there anything I need to do after receiving acupuncture treatment?
Drink plenty of water after your visit! You should also avoid strenuous exercise and avoid alcohol for a few hours. You should also rest if you feel tired and most importantly, let your body do the healing!

❔ Is acupuncture safe?
Acupuncture is safe when performed by trained professionals (like Dr. Shianne). We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict hygiene protocols.

❔ Can I receive both acupuncture and chiropractic care at the office?
Yes! Acupuncture can help with calming the nervous system and reducing inflammation - which works great when used in conjunction with chiropractic care!
