Acupuncture addresses the underlaying cause of disease, not merely the symptoms. When correcting the cause of a problem, the results are long-lasting or permanent. How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Treatments take place in private rooms, usually with the patient lying down. You can either wear loose clothing or use treatment gowns we provide. Can I Feel The Pins? Sometimes there is a mild discomfort that lasts momentarily upon insertion of the acupuncture pin. Acupuncture pins are very thin and are inserted quickly to avoid the sensation of pain.
