Your acupuncture treatment plan primarily involves:

Acupuncture and dry needling at our clinic not only aim to alleviate specific ailments but also engage the body’s natural healing processes by stimulating the peripheral nervous system. This stimulation differs from chiropractic care, which primarily influences the central nervous system.

Our approach to acupuncture is collaborative, requiring your active participation and dedication to the treatment plan, ensuring that you achieve the best possible health outcomes. Our experienced practitioners are committed to providing a gentle and effective treatment experience, making the process as comfortable as possible, often to the point where patients may not even notice the insertion of needles.

Many people in the US are initially skeptical of acupuncture because it is not well understood or there is a perception of pain with the process of treatment. Acupuncture is relatively painless and the practitioner and patient are in constant communication during the insertion of the very thin needles. Many times the patient does not even know the procedure is happening and often will fall asleep during treatment. Even those with an aversion to needles will find they have little to no issue with acupuncture treatment.

Dry needling should not hurt but sometimes can be mildly painful. The amount of pain is usually due to the experience of the practitioner doing the dry needling and the technique used. Chiropractors trained as acupuncturists tend to have a softer touch and perform more comfortable needling due to training and experience.
