FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes, acupuncture is very safe when administered by a qualified practitioner. Very few negative side effects have been reported.
​
DOES ACUPUNCTURE HURT?
Acupuncture rarely hurts because the needles that we use are very thin. Most patients barely notice the needles, are relaxed and often fall asleep during a session.
HOW LONG DOES EACH SESSION TAKE?
The first session will take 60-75 minutes. Follow up session usually take 20-45 minutes.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED BEFORE WE START TO SEE RESULTS?
As in all medicine, this depends on the condition we are treating. Generally, chronic conditions require 4-6 sessions 1-2 week apart before major improvement is noted. Improvement in acute conditions is usually noted sooner. After initial improvement, we start to space treatments out.
