FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that involves inserting the skin with hair-thin needles at specific locations to enhance the flow of Qi. Acupuncture is used to balance and keep the normal flow of energy unblocked, and restore health to the body and mind.
DOES ACUPUNCTURE HURT?
Acupuncture needles are so thin that around 10 can be placed in one regular injection needle. The sensation that is expected is not painful, but can be described as a heavy, numb, dull achy or tingly feeling called “De Qi”. This is the goal with acupuncture, as it means the energy of the point is being accessed. Many people find it is actually quite relaxing and often fall into a deep acu-nap!
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
This varies greatly depending on the individual and the issue being treated. Acute concerns are normally corrected quite quickly (1-3 treatments) while more chronic issues can take longer. Your specific treatment plan will be discussed during your first visit.
CAN I GET ACUPUNCTURE DONE IF I AM PREGNANT?
Yes! Acupuncture is a great addition to any pre/post pregnancy plan. Certain points and modalities will be avoided as a precaution, but other than that, pregnancy is a great time to get acupuncture as it can help with morning sickness, fatigue, back pain, mood and more.
CAN I CLAIM ACUPUNCTURE WITH MY BENEFITS?
Yes! Many extended health care plans will cover a certain portion or all of your acupuncture or cosmetic acupuncture treatment. Check with your provider.
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BOOKING?
A few things to consider: we recommend eating a small meal or snack about 45m before your appointment and avoiding too much caffeine right before and after acupuncture. We also suggest booking your appointment on a day where you don’t have any events in the evening and are able to relax and get the full benefits of the acupuncture treatment.
