Acupuncture is based on the idea that there is a vital energy (Qi) that flows through the body along specific pathways (meridians). By inserting needles into acupoints, we can restore balance and encourage the body's natural healing processes.

Acupuncture is typically not painful. Most people describe the sensation as a mild, momentary prick. Some may feel a dull ache or tingling, known as the "De Qi" sensation, which is usually not painful. Your acupuncturist will prioritize your comfort, and you can discuss any concerns with them.

During a session, you will lie down comfortably. The acupuncturist will insert very fine, sterile needles at specific points on your body. You may feel a mild sensation, like a small pinch or a gentle ache, which typically subsides quickly. Most patients find the experience relaxing.

Acupuncture sessions usually last between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your condition and the treatment plan recommended by your acupuncturist.

The number of sessions needed varies depending on your condition and its severity. Some people experience immediate relief, while others may require multiple sessions over several weeks. Your acupuncturist will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

Side effects are generally minimal and may include slight bruising or temporary soreness at the needle insertion points. Serious side effects are extremely rare when performed by a qualified acupuncturist.

TCM practitioners offer a unique and specialized approach to acupuncture that is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Their holistic, individualized, and energy-focused approach sets them apart from other healthcare professionals who may use acupuncture as a supplemental tool in their practice. Patients seeking acupuncture from a TCM practitioner can expect a comprehensive and culturally rich experience that goes beyond just addressing physical symptoms.
