Acupuncture FAQs

Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within the coherent system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
No one has ever died from acupuncture applied by a trained and licensed practitioner. Not a bad track record when you consider that the medicine is guesstimated to be more than 2,500 years old.

One of the great advantages of acupuncture is that, other than an occasional bruise, there are no side effects.

This is the most common question asked about acupuncture because many people associate needles with pain. Acupuncture needles are about the thickness of a dog’s whisker, so they are virtually painless when inserted.

This depends on the condition being treated. Although the acupoints are located throughout the entire body, usually the needles are placed on the extremities from your elbows down to your hands, and from your knees down to your feet. Other common areas include the abdomen, back, and ears.

Needles are individually wrapped and sterilized by the manufacturer. They are opened only when they are ready to be used, and afterwards, each needle is disposed of in a medical waste container.

Testimonials

“This place is the BEST! I love everyone who works here. Laurie is amazing and the receptionists are absolutely lovely. I have been working with Laurie to regain function and decrease my neck pain from a bulging disc. I immediately saw results after the first visit, and can honestly say she has given me my life back. Before I met Laurie, I was battling with my constant pain but now that my pain has decreased and almost gone away, I feel like myself again, which I am grateful for. Like I tell all my family and friends, Laurie has heeling hands!!”
