FAQ

Do not worry, most people are afraid of needles. But the needles used in acupuncture are very thin compared to needles used in hospitals for medicine. You’ll feel a slight pressure as the needle pierces the skin but overall there should be no pain.

There are various illnesses applicable with acupuncture, both acute and chronic.

Since this treatment’s effects will vary from person to person, the number of treatment sessions can vary for each person.

Normally, the longer the patient has the condition, the longer the course of treatment before they experience significant results. As with tearing down a problem that has long mounted itself on a body, it takes that much amount of time to remove it. Acupuncture can be administered as often as five times a week, or as little as once a month.

The primary feeling should be calming and reassurance. You may feel tired or drowsy for a few hours if the session was intense and strong. You may also experience a short-term flair-up of symptoms in the healing process as the treatment takes effect. After a session, it is a good idea to settle down and let it do its work. A gentle walk or very mild exercise is allowed and can be helpful. Avoid large meals, strenuous exercise, drinking alcohol and stressful situations. This might lengthen the needed number of sessions if overlooked.
