Therapy - Acupuncture Treatment

Modern acupuncture needles are stainless steel, and are between one-half and three inches long, ultra-fine, and quite flexible.

They are pre-sterilized, non-toxic, and disposable (single-use). When the needles are tapped into the skin there may not be any sensation. Much depends on the location (hands and feet tend to be more sensitive), and the acupuncturist's technique.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE

Needles are typically placed in several acu-points and are usually left in about 15 to 30 minutes. The goal is to normalize the circulation of Qi and blood by stimulating the energy point.

NUMBER OF TREATMENTS

The number of treatments needed depends upon the duration, severity, and nature of your health condition. Three or four treatments may be sufficient for an acute condition, while a series of five to 15 treatments may be needed to resolve chronic conditions. Some degenerative conditions may require ongoing treatments over a long period of time.
