By using needles, your body reacts, rebalances, or releases natural chemicals, including endorphins, your body’s own natural painkillers and neurotransmitters.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to acupuncture treatment. There are some people who feel nothing at all, while others feel a dull ache or mild pricking. Others feel tingling or buzzing or feel warm or heavy. Acupuncturists sometimes twirl or move needles after inserting them. You might feel a slight increase in sensation at times.

Acupuncture is mild and tolerable for most people. Be sure to tell your acupuncturist if you’re feeling pain. To make the treatment more comfortable, they may adjust the needles or use a different size of needle or technique.

You might feel relaxed or energized after acupuncture therapy. Pain or other symptoms also seem to be lessened. Although acupuncture’s effects can vary from person to person, most people find it to be a safe and effective treatment.

Acupuncture Therapy Can Cure a Variety of Ailments

Acupuncture therapy can help with a lot of health problems. It’s usually used for chronic (long-term) pain like arthritis, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, headaches, migraines, sports injuries, jaw pain, sinus congestion and facial pain, neuropathy, and menstrual cramps.

As well as alleviating chemotherapy side effects in cancer patients and reducing nausea during pregnancy, acupuncture treatment may also help with infertility, autoimmune diseases, colds and flu, irritable bowel syndrome, menopausal hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, and depression.

Getting a ride home is always wise if you’re getting acupuncture therapy for the first time. If that’s not possible, try to rest for five to ten minutes before driving home. Your practitioner may advise you to take it easy following each session.

Your body may need a number of treatments depending on how severe your condition is. Most patients have an appointment once a week. Some people get treatment more often, while others get it less frequently. Our acupuncturists can recommend the right schedule for each patient.
