What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practiced for over 4,000 years. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi (Vital Energy), which is thought to balance the body’s natural energy and promote healing.
Modern Research supports acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating a variety of health issues, and it is widely used alongside conventional Western medicine to support holistic health and wellness.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture works by balancing the Yin and Yang in your body, facilitating the smooth flow of Qi (energy) along energy channels, or meridians, throughout the body. It can help restore normal health by promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and activating the body’s natural healing processes.
Scientific studies, including those from the World Health Organization (WHO), have shown that acupuncture is effective for treating numerous conditions, especially when used early in the course of illness after an appropriate medical diagnosis.

What to Expect During Acupuncture Treatment
Is Acupuncture Painful?
Acupuncture uses very fine needles that are inserted at specific points on the body. Most patients experience little to no pain, just a slight prick or mild discomfort, which often indicates that the treatment is working. After needle insertion, many people report feeling relaxed or energized, depending on the condition being treated.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Acupuncture is generally very safe with minimal risks. Common side effects may include slight discomfort at the needle site or minor bleeding upon needle removal. Rare side effects include drowsiness or fainting, but these are temporary and typically resolve quickly.
Special Considerations for Children and Needle Sensitivity
For children or those afraid of needles, laser acupuncture is available, offering a needle-free alternative with the same therapeutic benefits.
Before Your Acupuncture Appointment
- Avoid rushing or eating a large meal before your treatment.
- It’s best to refrain from alcohol or excessive caffeine before and after your appointment.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the arms and legs (e.g., shorts and a shirt).
