Will Acupuncture help me?
Below are some of the health concerns that can be relieved with Acupuncture. Please contact us to discuss any questions.
What can I expect during treatment?
You’ll have your own private treatment room, and Julie will ask a number of questions regarding health history, symptoms, and lifestyle. A physical exam may be performed including pulse and tongue evaluation. This information enables Julie to detect where qi is obstructed and to create a personalized treatment plan.
To restore the free flow of qi, Julie will then insert tiny, sterile needles at specific points along the effected meridians. Depending on your needs, other therapies such as cupping, guasha, or Asian body work may also be used. Needles are typically retained for 20-30 minutes.
Once your treatment is complete, Julie may suggest lifestyle strategies focused on diet, exercise, and meditation to support your healing process between visits.
Does it hurt?
Most patients report no discomfort during acupuncture. You may feel slight pressure or tingling when the needle goes in. Tiny, ultra-thin needles are used to minimize this sensation. Other sensations include a feeling of heat or heaviness as the flow of qi is restored.
Why does it work?
Research suggests that Acupuncture is effective because it stimulates the body’s natural systems with little or no side effects. Acupuncture is believed to activate the following systems.
