More Information
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel very little or no pain. Sensations are typically mild and short-lived.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your condition, how long it has been present, and your overall health. Acute issues often respond more quickly than long-term patterns.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained practitioner using sterile, single-use needles.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that can be rolled up or adjusted easily.
Can acupuncture help chronic conditions?
Many people use acupuncture to support chronic or complex health concerns alongside medical care.
I’m nervous about needles—can I still come?
Yes. Treatments can be adjusted to your comfort level, and many people who are initially nervous find the experience much gentler than expected. It is also possible that we don’t use a single needle in your treatment. If you’d prefer a massage that can address many of the same concerns, check out Zenthai Shiatsu!
