Acupuncture needles are hair-thin. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. Most feel no or very minimal discomfort; however, almost every patient describes a decrease in stress. Soothing music relaxes our clients during their 15-30 minute session – many even fall asleep during treatment.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than 2,000 years ago, the main premise is to stimulate meridians and points across the body to identify interruptions and release the flow of energy, or chi, on these meridian pathways. Once these bound-up energies are free, the body has the rushing power and ability to heal itself.
