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. Learn more about your first experience here.
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.

You are SUCH a delight!!!!![]()

Jake is, hands down, the best massage therapist I’ve ever had (and I’ve had MANY massages). He really understands physiology & the mind/body connection so is able to work on what aches and/or pains my body is experiencing.![]()

I had such a wonderful experience here and highly recommend them! I came in for treatment of Bell’s palsy and was nervous and overwhelmed. From my very first appointment, I felt listened to, supported, and genuinely cared for. Sarah took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and tailor treatment to my needs. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout every visit. Most importantly, I saw real improvement. Over the course of my treatments, I noticed increased movement and function returning, and by my most recent appointment, I felt I was already back to normal! The combination of her skill, professionalism, and compassionate approach made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. I am truly grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone considering acupuncture.![]()

I went to Elliott Acupuncture for the first time, because I had intense knee pain due an injury from years ago. I couldn’t even stretch my leg, nor do yoga poses. Besides, I was also scheduled to leave on a trip in two weeks. From the very first session, I felt the benefits of acupuncture, extending to certain internal organs too. After a series of sessions with Sarah, my knee regained strength, the pain ceased and I gained the confidence to embark on my trip. Sarah is an excellent professional, very enjoyable person and an early riser, who made me feel comfortable and cared for from the very beginning. Thus, I highly recommend her care and expertise. Sarah, my gratitude to you!![]()

Acupuncture with Sarah has helped me tremendously! She initially helped ease my back pain from a herniated disc (highly recommend adding cupping!) and she's also currently helping me balance my hormones. I've already seen a huge change in my lab work. Not only is she skilled at what she does, she's also an amazing person! Highly recommend if you're considering acupuncture or other healing!![]()
