FAQ

Acupuncture is a holistic medical treatment which has evolved into effective system for whole health and wellness. Acupuncture practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have utilized this safe and non-invasive method to help people to regain their health and stay healthy. Acupuncture promotes natural healing through insertion of tiny needles that activate Qi energy throughout the body to help achieve balance within the body and mind.
Qi is a vital energy that flows throughout 14 main meridians . The meridians are invisible pathways that connect to specific organs and glands. The meridian pathway flow to provide nourishment to every cell, organ, gland, muscle and tissue in the body. Physical and emotional trauma, lack of sleep and exercise, poor diet, can disrupt and influence the quality and balance of Qi that leads the body to a weakened state, illness, pain or disease can take place.
During the initial exam a full health history is taken. There will be many questions asked about the symptoms, digestion, lifestyle., sleep. Everything is important, so be ready for detailed questions and lengthy intake. A practitioner examines face, takes pulse and tongue diagnosis. Obtaining this information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of Qi that affected a person’s health ailments. The practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan.
Once the imbalance of Qi are detected, an acupuncturist will insert fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways. This safe and painless insertion of needles can unblock the obstruction and balance Qi. When the needles open the obstruction, Qi can freely circulate throughout the body, providing adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. It releases endorphins that control pain and restore balance and harmony, as well as the body’s ability to heal itself ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being.
Acupuncture generally does not hurt. The needles are thin, hair-like in size with a gentle insertion should not cause any discomfort. Usually patients feel instantly relaxed during the treatment and do not feel any pain from the insertion. Sometimes, patients experience sensation of warmth, while other may experience sensation of subtle electric charge, some may experience sensation of lightness, or heaviness. Some report of feeling “like energy is circulating”. These are normal sensations during treatment. Some patients fall asleep or attain state of deep meditation.
