Can more than one condition be treated in an acupuncture session?
Yes! When you are receiving a treatment for your back your acupuncturist is also treating your overall wellbeing including digestion, sleep, mood, and immune system. And yes, you can definitely treat more than one pain at a time. READ MORE
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are thinner than a human hair. It shouldn’t hurt but you will feel some sensations like tingling or heat. Sometimes you might feel a tiny prick but it doesn’t usually hurt and it’s just a second. Most people find acupuncture to be very relaxing and healing! READ MORE
Is an achy feeling normal in acupuncture?
Yes! That achy feeling can be a couple of things. When Qi is activated within the channels by specific points it causes an immune response in the body - also known as the healing crisis. This causes a heavy, achy feeling around the points and can also spread within the channels. This actually means that the needles are working. It can also signify movement of stagnant Qi. One of the causes for disease is when Qi is stuck and isn’t flowing throughout your body properly - imagine a river that is stuck with degree. When the needles are inserted it can cause your body to move Qi and that can cause an achy feeling within the body. Hope this helps. READ MORE
