Will the needling hurt?
No, acupuncture needles are very fine and the technique is gentle and should not be uncomfortable.
. . . . .
How long does a treatment last?
One hour is needed for a thorough treatment.
. . . . .
Will there be any side effects?
No, not usually, although people and conditions vary.
. . . . .
How many treatments will I need?
This varies tremendously and only after diagnosis will it become clearer.
. . . . .
What about safety?
Needles are individually packed in sterilized tubes and not re-used – to eliminate danger of infection.
. . . . .
Do I have to believe in acupuncture for it to work?
No. Acupuncture is used successfully on cats, dogs, horses and other animals. These animal patients do not understand or believe in the process that helps them get better. A positive attitude toward wellness may reinforce the effects of the treatment received, just as a negative attitude may hinder the effects of acupuncture or any other treatment. A neutral attitude (\”I don\’t know if I really believe in this.\”) will not block the treatment results.
. . . . .
Does acupuncture really work?
Yes. In the past 2,000 years, more people have been successfully treated with acupuncture than with all other health modalities combined. Today acupuncture is practiced widely in Asia, the Soviet Union, and in Europe and USA
