What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body.
Is acupuncture painful?
No, acupuncture is relatively pain-free. The points are carefully chosen and needled at different depths and angles based on their location. You may feel a slight pinch when the needle is inserted that quickly subsides. Some areas of the body such as hands or feet might be a bit more sensitive, but over all, acupuncture causes little discomfort. Acupuncture needles are very thin. 220 acupuncture needles can be fit into the opening of a regular hypodermic needle for reference.
Are there any side effects from acupuncture?
No, acupuncture is safe and effective for all ages, bodies, and health concerns. Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system which can lead to some drowsiness during and after your treatment. Some need to take a nap or rest a few hours following their appointment, but this is not always the case. Make sure you have eaten within 2 hours from your appointment.
Can I get acupuncture while pregnant?
Yes, acupuncture is safe for all stages of pregnancy and is extremely beneficial. Acupuncture can help ease morning sickness, nausea, fatigue, aches and pains, threatened miscarriages, preeclampsia, breech babies, and aids in labor induction.
