Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Acupuncture Safe?

A: YES. Acupuncture is extremely safe and natural.

Q: Does Acupuncture Hurt?

A: First time treatment is approximately 1 hour. Each follow up visits can range from 30 min to 45 min.

Q: How Many Treatments Will I Need?

A: The number and frequency varies from person to person depending on the seriousness and complexity of illness. While one treatment may be effective, results are cumulative and multiple visits are therefore recommended.

Q: Does Acupuncture Require A Long Time Dependency?

A: No. In most cases, 2 treatments a week are recommended for the first two weeks and then lessen the frequency as your health problem decreases. Many patients come in once a week or once every two weeks to maintain their health. You may choose not to receive more treatments once your health concern is solved.

Q: Does Insurance Cover Acupuncture?

A: Many insurance companies cover acupuncture. As a courtesy, we will gladly provide necessary documents for you to submit your own insurance.

Q: Anything I should know before My First Appointment?

A: Wear loose and comfortable clothing. Eat in moderation before coming in (do not come hungry). Best to arrive 15 minutes early for paperwork.
