FAQ
Does it hurt?
Most people feel little to no pain during acupuncture. The needles are very thin—much thinner than injection needles—and typically cause only a mild sensation, such as a brief pinch, warmth, or heaviness. Many patients find treatments deeply relaxing, and any discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on your condition, how long it’s been present, and your overall health goals. Some people notice improvement within 1–3 visits, while chronic or more complex issues often benefit from a series of treatments over several weeks. After your initial session, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and adjust it based on how your body responds.
What should I expect after my first session?
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your health history, symptoms, and goals. The treatment itself involves placing very thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body while you relax comfortably for about 20–30 minutes. Many people feel calm or deeply relaxed during the session. Afterward, you may notice subtle or immediate changes, and we’ll discuss a personalized treatment plan moving forward.

What does acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture typically feels gentle and relaxing. You may notice a brief pinch when the needle is inserted, followed by sensations like warmth, tingling, heaviness, or a dull ache—these are normal and often indicate the point is working. Most people feel calm during treatment and many even fall asleep.
Are there any side effects to acupuncture?
Acupuncture has very few side effects when performed by a licensed practitioner. Some people experience mild soreness, temporary fatigue, or slight bruising at a needle site, which usually resolves quickly. Many patients report positive effects such as deep relaxation, improved sleep, or reduced pain after treatment.
How soon will I feel results?
Some people feel improvements right away or within 24–48 hours, while others notice more gradual changes over several sessions. The timing depends on your condition, how long it’s been present, and your body’s response to treatment. Acute issues often respond more quickly, while chronic conditions typically improve steadily with consistent care.
