FAQs

  • Acupuncture is a viable treatment for two types of health issues: simple and complex. Simple problems, such as stress, allergies, colds, and recent injuries, can be easily treated. On the other hand, more complex issues may require more time and sometimes a combination of Chinese Medicine.

  • Acupuncture needles are as thin as a dog's whisker and are virtually painless when inserted. During the treatment, the practitioner will insert the needle to the appropriate depth, and you will likely experience a unique sensation that can vary from tingling to heaviness, warmth, or even nothing at all. Every person's experience is different, and if you feel any discomfort, simply let your practitioner know, and they will adjust the needles accordingly. Additionally, all needles are sterilized and disposable.

It is a form of healthcare that keeps our bodies well-maintained and reduces the chances of breaking down. Similar to a tune-up for a car or bike, acupuncture treatments target points to help alleviate pain or illness, allowing signals, blood, and bodily fluids to flow freely.

  • Cupping is the application of suction cups to the body in specific locations and is used to clear stagnation.

    The suctions cups pull/lift muscle and fascia to encourage local blood flow, decrease inflammation, relax tight tissue, and increase immune function.
