What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile needles (regulated by state and federal law) into specific points on the body as mapped out over the course of thousands of years by ancient Chinese healers. Studies have shown acupuncture to be a very effective treatment modality for a variety of diseases affecting individuals in ancient times as well as in the modern world. Oriental Medicine employs techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as from other Asian medicine techniques to create a more flexible treatment that can be tailored to each individual’s needs. Will it hurt? Each individual may experience a different sensation associated with needle insertion, however, the feeling of pain is not common. More common sensations include: dull aching, heaviness, tingling, numbness, vibrating, etc. These sensations usually pass within a minute or two. Leah has been trained in gentle technique and uses some of the thinnest needles on the market. Should you experience any discomfort during or after your treatment, please communicate this and your treatment will be adjusted accordingly. |
