During your first treatment, you’ll first discuss important details with our team such as your medical history, current symptoms, and medications. This will help us gain a better idea of how to map out your overall treatment plan and which areas of the body to target.
In tradition with Traditional Chinese Medicine, we’ll then check your wrist pulse and examine your tongue. Your tongue is associated with your body’s internal organs, as well as the meridians where energy is known to flow.
Once we’ve completed our examination, we’ll determine a customized treatment plan to effectively address your pain and begin the procedure. We’ll then ask you to lie down — either on your side, face-down or face-up, depending on which locations we’ll need to access for treatment. Our acupuncturist will wipe any spots where the needles will be inserted with alcohol.
Finally, we’ll insert the fine needles along the selected acupuncture points. You should feel little-to-no discomfort. If you feel a slight tingling or burning sensation, it is usually an indication that the treatment is working!
Acupuncture is used to treat a wide variety of physical conditions such as strokes, sciatica, nausea, headaches, sprains, pain from motor vehicle accidents, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, muscle pain (such as back, neck, and shoulder pain), postoperative pain and more.
It has also been reported to be an effective treatment for mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Acupuncture’s ability to restore a healthy flow of energy in the body can help regulate your heart rate and breathing, which can reduce symptoms of stress or tension. It also can promote the release of endorphins, which cause positive and pleasant feelings.
Acupuncture is also entirely safe for pregnant women, helping to ease a wide range of common pregnancy symptoms including nausea, heartburn, leg swelling, back pain, morning sickness, and more.
