Frequently Asked Questions
No. For most people acupuncture isn’t painful. Acupuncture needles are thinner than a strand of hair, flexible and only 1 to 3 cm long, so many people feel little or nothing as they go in. Once they’re in place you might notice a tingling, warm or mildly stinging sensation. Every needle is disposable, pre-sterilized, comes in a sealed package and is discarded after one use.
Yes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture uses very fine needles at specific points on the body to restore the flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy, along pathways called meridians. Our acupuncturists assess each patient individually to choose the points that suit you. Read more about what acupuncture is and where it comes from.
