Acupuncture works by balancing the flow of energy through pathways called meridians in the body. This energy flow is restored or stimulated with the insertion of needles along these meridians. These points of acupuncture are considered sites to stimulate the nerves, muscles, and connective tissue with the purpose of releasing your body’s natural painkillers. Isn’t that magic? That’s why acupuncture is used mainly to relieve discomfort and pain associated with a variety of diseases and conditions.

At your first treatment, our acupuncturist will ask you questions about your lifestyle as well as take a complete health history. The acupuncturist will feel your pulse, examine your tongue and may feel specific meridians for tender spots.
After accessing your overall condition, we will let you know exactly where we will place acupuncture needles. You will get to ask any questions as well as take your time to feel comfortable.
Expect your first appointment to last between one and 1.5 hours, while follow-up visits last one hour each.
