How long does it take for acupuncture to work?

The number of treatments depends on a few factors. We always start with a consultation for new patients so we can take the time to get to know your health history, current complaints, and health goals before getting started with treatment. With this information, we’ll be able to provide you with a personalized treatment plan which will outline how frequently you should come and how many treatments you will need.

Can I get acupuncture at the same time as other treatments?

Absolutely! Acupuncture and Chinese medicine work alone as well as alongside conventional treatment. We will work with you (and your other doctors if appropriate) to determine whether an integrative approach is needed, or if Chinese medicine alone is recommended.

Do acupuncture needles contain or inject medicine?

No, they do not. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, flexible, solid needles that are designed with patient comfort in mind. The insertion of these needles at strategic points stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. One way to think of this is micro-trauma for positive healing; insertion of a needle directs the body’s attention and triggers release of beneficial hormones.
