Every individual reacts differently to treatment. While some people may feel the changes immediately, others may take a few treatments before they can notice any difference. After your treatment, you may feel either relaxed or energized, and the full effects of the treatment will become evident a day or two after your appointment. Like any other modality, it is essential to come in for a series of treatments to receive the complete benefits of your treatments.

During the acupuncture treatment, you may feel a slight pinching sensation as the needles are inserted. Our practitioners are highly trained to ensure painless needle insertion, and we take pride in this. As the needle is inserted to the proper depth, you may feel a sensation of distension. While your body is balancing, you may experience some unusual sensations such as cool or warm sensations, tingling, or buzzing, but none of these should be painful. If a needle feels uncomfortable, please let your practitioner know immediately, and they will adjust it so that you can relax and enjoy the benefits of your treatment. Acupuncture is a very relaxing experience, and many patients even fall asleep during their sessions.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, contact us as soon as possible either by phone or by email at [email protected].  Please note that we have a 24-hour cancellation policy, which means that any changes made within 24 hours of the scheduled treatment time will result in a fee.

The simple answer is that it can treat a wide range of disorders as Chinese medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine that has been used in Asia for ages. For complicated cases, we recommend speaking with one of our acupuncturists before scheduling your first appointment, particularly if you have specific queries about how acupuncture and/or herbs could benefit you.
