Acupuncture Q & A
What Is Acupuncture Treatment?
Acupuncture is a type of treatment that originated in China more than 3,000 years ago. Acupuncturists use extremely slim needles, placing them in key areas on the body to alleviate pain in a natural way. The needles create a balance in the body’s energy, which allows the body to return to its optimal pain-free state.
There are several types of acupuncture. In moxibustion, moxa taken from dried mugwort warms key areas and helps with smooth qi energy flow. In auricular acupuncture, points on the outer ear are stimulated for healing. In cupping therapy, suction is used to help stimulate blood flow and promote healing.
Patients can make unlimited appointment changes or cancellations if the appointment start time is greater than 24 hours away. If the appointment start time is 24 hours or less away, any changes or cancelations incur a fee. Starting June 1st, the fee will increase to $100 dollars.
Additionally, given the well noted potential of short term side effects from covid vaccines, we ask that patients do not book appointments the same day or in the days after their vaccine. Appointment cancellations due to typical side effects of covid vaccines will not be excused.
