  • Should you drink a lot of water after acupuncture?

    Drinking water after acupuncture can be very beneficial. Acupuncture treatments reboot the body and encourage circulation and organ system balance. Water after treatment can help keep that circulation going. READ MORE

  • Is acupressure good for knee pain?

    Acupuncture can be great for knee pain! Acupuncture can calm down inflammation in the knee, but it can improve healing and prevent injuries from coming back. READ MORE

  • How often should you have acupuncture during pregnancy?

    I recommend my pregnant patients continue acupuncture throughout their pregnancies. During the first trimester, I recommend weekly treatments to help support the pregnancy and to help manage morning sickness and fatigue. I recommend patients continue with treatments weekly or every two weeks through the second and third trimester to address any physical discomfort, like back pain and acid reflux, and to help the body prepare for birth and postpartum. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture good in early pregnancy?

    Acupuncture can be very beneficial during early pregnancy, especially if you're experiencing morning sickness. Numerous research studies have shown that acupuncture can significantly reduce nausea and vomiting. It is important, though, that you work with an acupuncturist who has worked with early stages of pregnancy before and that you tell you acupuncturist you are pregnant before receiving treatment. READ MORE

  • Should I stop taking blood thinners?

    It is very important that you talk to your prescribing doctor before stopping blood thinners. Acupuncture can be very beneficial to your overall cardiovascular system; however it is important your doctor and your acupuncturist work together regarding adjusting medications. It is not safe to just stop taking blood thinners. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture good for dust allergies?

    Yes, acupuncture can help make your body less reactive to the allergen trigger, as well as support your immune system READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture safe for migraine headaches?

    Absolutely! Migraines, and headaches in general, tend to respond well to acupuncture. There are many causes of migraines from a Traditional Chinese Medicine viewpoint, so it is important you seek out a qualified acupuncturist in order to achieve the best results. Your acupuncturist should be able to treat the specific type of migraine you're experiencing, as well as address the underlying cause of your pain. READ MORE

  • Can you do too much acupressure?

    Typically, no you can't do too much acupressure. Pay attention to how it feels when you're doing acupressure though, because there are some nerves that can be close to the skin's surface. If you feel an electric "zing" that travels down or up, you've hit a nerve. Long term pressure and stimulation of a nerve can cause some damage, so pay attention. READ MORE

  • Can trigger finger be treated with acupuncture?

    Absolutely. Acupuncture can help increase blood supply and circulation, to provide more nourishment to your tendons that are causing the trigger finger. Acupuncture can also help address why the trigger finger happened in the first place and help it from coming back. READ MORE

  • Do I need to rest after acupuncture?

    I usually recommend patients relax after treatment in order to receive maximum benefit from their session. Gentle exercise is fine, such as stretching or yoga, but try to avoid super strenuous exercise. Also, drink a little more water than you normally do to help the detox process. READ MORE
