Frequently Asked Questions
1. What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture can effectively treat a wide range of conditions, including pain management, stress reduction, insomnia, digestive issues, allergies, and more. Our practitioners will assess your individual needs and tailor a treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
6. How do I schedule an acupuncture appointment?
Scheduling an acupuncture appointment is easy! You can book an appointment online through our website or by calling our clinic directly. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding a convenient time for your appointment.
2. How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body, which in turn activates the body's natural healing mechanisms. This stimulation triggers the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, including endorphins, serotonin, and oxytocin, which promote pain relief, relaxation, and a sense of well-being. Acupuncture also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a state of relaxation and reducing stress levels. Additionally, the insertion of fine needles into muscles helps to reduce muscle tension and release tightness. This process can also alleviate pressure within the muscle, leading to increased blood and lymph circulation to the affected area, promoting healing and overall wellness.
7. Do you accept insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans for acupuncture services. However, coverage varies depending on your specific plan and provider. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to verify coverage before your appointment. We also offer flexible payment options for uninsured or out-of-network patients.
