How does acupuncture work?

Tell me about Chinese herbal medicine.

Do I have to believe in Acupuncture for it to work?
No. It works whether you believe it or not. Many new clients are often surprised by its effectiveness.

Preparation for treatment.
Be on time so that you may benefit fully. Eat a light meal 1-2 hours before treatment. Avoid the intake of caffeine or pain medications Wear or bring a change of loose-fitting clothes Bring a list of medications you are taking (if applicable)

Tell me about the needles.
The needles are supplied in pre-packaged, sterile, disposable form and are disposed of immediately after use. No needles are re-used. They are as fine as a human hair, tapered at the end, and inserted with a guide tube to ensure maximum comfort.

How long are the sessions?
Sessions are 1 hour in length.

How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your condition, and on your commitment to getting well. Generally, acute conditions can be relieved with a much shorter course of treatment than chronic conditions. A treatment plan is discussed with each client. Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations are usually recommended. Implementation of these recommendations will help speed your return to health.

What should I do after a session?
Avoid stimulants including caffeine and physical overexertion.
