A: The human body functions as an electromagnetic field. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body with very thin metal needles to redirect this micro-current to areas that need it most. Acupuncture removes blockages that may be causing physical pain in the body, increases blood flow to damaged tissues, and stimulates the production of certain neurotransmitters to help with mood and stress. Q: What systems does it work on? A: Acupuncture can treat a variety of systems in the human body such as musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, digestive, pulmonary, and reproductive. Q: Will it hurt? A: The needles we use are much smaller than your average needle. In fact, about 20 acupuncture needles fit inside your average hypodermic needle! Most patients do not even feel the needles go in. You may feel a tingling sensation, warmness, or heaviness and a dull ache where needles are inserted initially. Those are normal responses and signifies a connection with the rest of your body. We also have needle-free options for those with extreme aversion to needle-therapy. Q: How long will it take to see results & how often do I need to come? A: Like everything tailored towards individuals... it depends!
