✨✨What is Acupuncture??✨✨
✨✨Can it help me??✨✨
These are two of the most frequently asked questions I encounter as an acupuncturist, and I’m always happy to answer!
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting extremely fine needles into specific points on the body to elicit a therapeutic effect. Whether you’re dealing with pain (chronic or acute) or trauma, or an emotional concern, acupuncture can treat it! Acupuncture treats a wide range of conditions successfully, and patients report that the entire experience is relaxing and balancing, leaving them feeling refreshed.
Typically, the experience of getting acupuncture, or being “needled” as we like to say, is painless, but may come with some sensations such as a dull ache or heavy feeling near the needle insertion, warmth or a little temporary itchiness, or a sensation of energy traveling down a limb. These sensations are usually easily manageable and dissipate within a few seconds. Altogether, it is a lovely experience with a high rate of efficacy!
So, can it help you?
There is a very high probability that it can! While there are never any guarantees with any treatment modality, acupuncture has an impressive rate of success. If you’re curious about how acupuncture can help you, call me! I offer free phone consultations where we can discuss your health concerns and whether or not acupuncture is a good fit.
