Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin—about the width of a human hair—and most patients experience little to no discomfort. You may feel a brief dull ache, tingling, or warm sensation at the point of insertion. This is a sign the needle is stimulating the energy at that point. Many patients find treatments so relaxing that they fall asleep during the session.
How many treatments will I need?
Results vary depending on your condition and how consistently you come for treatment. Some patients feel noticeable improvement after the first session. However, most chronic or complex issues require a series of 10 or more treatments for lasting results. Once symptoms improve, maintenance sessions are often recommended to support long-term health.
Acupuncture is effective, but it is rarely a “quick fix.” Healing takes time and commitment. My role is to support your body’s natural ability to heal by removing blockages—your role is to show up and trust the process.
