What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment that involves inserting small, thin needles into strategic points in your body. In TCM, practitioners believe acupuncture balances your body’s qi (energy flow). Western practitioners use acupuncture to stimulate pressure points, activating specific muscles, nerves, and tissues.

Once you’re comfortable, your acupuncturist inserts thin needles into specific points on your body. You may experience minimal discomfort during needle insertion and sensations like warmth, tingling, or a slight heaviness once they’re in place. 

The session typically lasts about 20-30 minutes, after which your acupuncturist gently removes the needles. You can resume your normal activities immediately. Your acupuncturist may recommend follow-up visits depending on your condition and unique needs.
