Do you take insurance?

Currently, we do not accept insurance for Acupuncture visits. However, you are encouraged to contact your insurance provider to learn what kind of care is covered. If your insurance covers Acupuncture, the practitioner can provide you with a superbill for you to request for reimbursement through your insurance.

​

What conditions can acupuncture help with?

Many clinical studies have shown that Acupuncture successfully treats conditions ranging from musculoskeletal problems (back pain, neck pain, and others) to nausea, migraine headaches, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and infertility. Effective Acupuncture treatments many times results in reduced stress levels, reduced pain and improved sleep. Many people also experience relief from headaches, reduced eye strain, improved immune system and reduced sick days, enhanced mental clarity and increased energy leading to increased work productivity and improved overall health.

​

How should I prepare for a session?

Wear loose comfortable clothing that can be easily rolled up to the elbows and knees. We will also likely need access to areas of the body with pain and discomfort.

Avoid large meals immediately before the treatment, but don’t come on an empty stomach.

​

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments will vary from person to person. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take months or even years to maintain health results. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones. People see the most significant changes after 4-6 consistent treatment sessions.

Treatment frequency depends on a variety of factors: your constitution, the severity and duration of the problem and the quality and quantity of your Qi (Vital energy). An acupuncturist may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune ups.”
