What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is minimally invasive with sterile, disposable needles which are very thin, which usually do not hurt and often are not felt. Sessions are often relaxing and then invigorating. There are ways to treat acupuncture points without needles for those who prefer that. Other modalities include: massage, acupressure, ear balls, magnets, Qi Gong, tuning forks, herbal supplements, nutritional information, Emotion Free Technique, guided visualization and more. These modalities work with the body to promote health, encourage balance and restore wellness. It is a cooperative venture between the patient and practitioner to bring about health in a way that is just right for the individual.

How often should I have acunpuncture treatment?
Treatment frequency is your choice. Usually, it is most beneficial to treat more frequently initially to get the symptoms under control, then gradually treat less often until a maintenance level is reached. Usually new patients begin once or twice weekly, gradually decreasing as they are feeling better and maintain at once every month to two months. If symptoms flare, they can again come in more frequently until they reach a level of control and resume the maintenance schedule.
