Acupuncture
Acupuncture heals by harmonizing energy, Qi, within the body with the use of acupuncture needles. Don’t let the idea of the needles stop you — most patients barely feel a thing as the ultra-thin sterile needles are inserted quickly and gently. The experience of having acupuncture is in no way like having an injection.
While each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people only feel a slight amount of sensation as the needles are inserted and the feeling lasts briefly. Once the needles are in most of our patients tell us that they experience a feeling of relaxation and well-being that lasts for many hours after the treatment.
Your first visit
Initial visits generally last 90 minutes. During your first exam, your acupuncturist will spend time getting to know you and your health concerns. You may be asked a wide range of questions about your symptoms, eating, exercise and sleep habits, emotional states and anything that may offer insight into your health and wellness.
Your practitioner will also employ diagnostic tools that are unique to acupuncture and Traditional Asian Medicine such as tongue and pulse diagnosis.
Once your acupuncturist has gathered enough information, you’ll receive a comprehensive diagnosis and a treatment plan that will explain:

Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of medicine, originating in China, but practiced in many parts of the world. Cupping therapy uses glass cups to create suction on the surface of the skin. The suction pulls the skin slightly up inside the cups, helping the muscles to relax.
Cupping therapy is generally used to alleviate pain, tightness and/or a limited range of movement. In Chinese Medicine these conditions are often referred to as "qi and blood stagnation", which means that the flow of energy in the body is blocked. The cups can increase blood flow and relax tight muscles.
