Community Acupuncture Sessions 

Most people will not experience any feeling with the majority of the points used. A more common sensation is one of heaviness while the needle remains inserted. In Chinese Medicine this sensation is called De-Qi and is thought to be a positive sign that the point has been activated and is brining balance back to the meridian.

Treatments are 45 minutes in length.

We recommend starting with 6 consecutive weeks of treatment, followed by maintenance appointments. It's important to remember that each person is different and recommendations will vary depending on goal/treatment/conditions. 

For comfort, please wear loose or stretchy clothing to your appointment. Most points are accessed by simply pulling up sleeves, pant legs, and/or rolling up shirts. 

Acupuncture points are located all over the body. The most commonly used points are located on the legs, feet, wrists, hands, abdomen, and head.
