Acupuncture FAQs

How Many Acupuncture Sessions Do I Need?2023-09-20T07:45:55+00:00

Each person is different. Most people get the most benefit from 1 treatment per week and 4-6 sessions in total. It is important to be consistent as you will get the most benefit when treatments are closer together (at least initially). For maintenance, 1 session every 2 to 4 weeks is typical.

Is Acupuncture the Same as Dry Needling?2023-09-20T07:46:26+00:00

Some may confuse “Dry Needling” and acupuncture. It should be noted that these are not the same thing. Furthermore, there are some significant differences to consider.

Dry needling involves the insertion of needles into ‘trigger points’ which also known as knots in the muscle. On the surface, it may look very similar to acupuncture. However, this is not the case. Physical and sports injury therapists usually offer this therapy. However, dry needling is not regulated meaning there are no requirements for the amount of training a person needs to provide this therapy. It is not unusual for a practitioner to only spend a weekend learning dry needling. This means there is no way to know if someone’s training is legitimate and satisfactory. Also, dry needling is a relatively new procedure which does not have a lot of research behind it.

Acupuncture, on the other hand, has been used for thousands of years, and there have been several research studies to support its efficacy. Acupuncture also differs from dry needling as it can help with numerous health conditions, not just pain. Also, acupuncturists and Naturopathic Doctors who perform acupuncture are trained for three to four years and must pass board exams. Moreover, they must complete yearly continuing education.

What is My First Acupuncture Treatment Like?2023-09-20T07:40:03+00:00

Your initial acupuncture visit is approximately one hour. It begins with a brief discussion on your current health concerns, past medical history, along with a limited physical examination. The Naturopathic Doctor will be assessing your symptoms from both a conventional medicine stand-point as well as a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective. Next, the Naturopathic Doctor will perform a TCM analysis including a tongue and pulse diagnosis. This is done to get a better understanding of which acupuncture meridians are out of balance. After, the doctor will develop an individualized acupuncture treatment plan based on what came up during the assessment.

How Does Acupuncture Work?2019-09-09T20:40:20+00:00

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body. It opens your body’s nerve, lymphatic, and vascular channels, which restores proper signaling and flow of blood and energy. This enables your body to deliver hormonal and nutritional resources, as well as remove metabolic wastes, which are both required for healing and to maintain health.

How Long is an Acupuncture Treatment?2023-09-20T07:50:11+00:00
Acupuncture sessions are 45 minutes to 60 minutes. Each session begins with a brief check-in with the doctor and any physical assessments that are necessary. The doctor will select acupuncture points based on your individual needs. Each acupuncture point has specific indications, such as moving stagnated tissues, which can be the cause of pain, increase digestive function, or calm anxiety. Once all the needles are inserted, the doctor will dim the lights and leave the room for 20-30minutes. This is your time to relax.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?2019-09-09T20:36:18+00:00

Acupuncture needles are very thin – comparable to the size of a thick strand of hair. Some points are more tender than others. However, most people do not find treatment to be painful.

Cupping

Cupping is a traditional Chinese therapy to relieve pain and tension in muscles. The treatment includes placing suctioned cups on various parts of the back and body in areas where there is pain, excessive tension, or muscle adhesions. The suctioning action of the cups reestablishes blood flow & unwinds muscle adhesions to relax the physical body & release emotional tension

Acupressure Massage

Acupressure massage is an ancient traditional Chinese therapy. It involves opening up the body’s energy meridians and targeting pressure points (or acupuncture points), on the arms, legs, body, and head with pressure. It is perfect for people who do not like needles, or as an add-on therapy to an acupuncture session.

The treatment begins with a meridian massage where the doctor stimulates downward movement along your back and legs. Next, the Naturopathic Doctor begins the acupressure bodywork.

Acupressure points are generally tender areas on different areas of the body, which correspond to different functions of the body. By applying pressure to these points, energy blockages are opened up. While this is not a gentle, relaxing massage you may get at a spa, most people feel a profound sense of calm, tranquility, and relaxation afterward.

This therapy is ideal for people who experience chronic pain, headaches, insomnia, stress or anxiety, fatigue, or simply wish to relax after a stressful day.
