What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the strategic placement of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to help restore balance, encourage natural healing, and promote overall wellness. This time-tested therapy is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is used today as a holistic approach to treating a variety of health concerns.

During a session, our licensed acupuncturist will tailor the treatment based on your specific symptoms and goals, ensuring a safe and calming experience. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort.

How to Prepare for Your Session

To ensure a comfortable and beneficial acupuncture experience, consider the following tips:

• Eat a Light Meal: Avoid coming on an empty stomach or feeling too full.
• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Loose-fitting clothes allow easier access to acupuncture points.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink water prior to your appointment.
• Avoid Caffeine: Reduce intake to help you stay relaxed.
• Arrive Early: Arriving 10–15 minutes early helps you unwind before treatment begins.
