Acupuncture Questions
-
What is acupuncture, and how does it work?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, balance energy (Qi), and promote overall health. Acupuncture is thought to influence the nervous system, blood flow, and immune function to treat various conditions.
-
Is acupuncture painful?
Acupuncture is generally not painful. Most people feel little to no discomfort when the needles are inserted. You might experience a mild tingling or sensation of pressure at the needle site, but this is normal and usually fades quickly. The needles used are very thin, so any sensation tends to be minimal.
-
What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture can treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain (e.g., back pain, headaches, joint pain), stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, fertility problems, and more. It is often used as a complementary therapy to support other medical treatments or to improve general well-being.
-
How many acupuncture sessions will I need to see results?
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated. Acute conditions may improve after just a few sessions, while chronic issues might require ongoing treatment over weeks or months. Your acupuncturist will create a personalized treatment plan based on your health goals and progress.
-
Is acupuncture safe, and are there any side effects?
Acupuncture is generally considered very safe when performed by a licensed and trained practitioner. The risks of side effects are minimal, but some people may experience mild bruising, soreness, or fatigue after a session. Serious complications are rare. Always ensure you are seeing a qualified acupuncturist to minimize risks.
