Most patients are surprised by how little they feel. Acupuncture needles are about the width of a human hair — much thinner than the needles used for injections or blood draws.

It depends on your condition and how long you’ve had it. Acute issues (like a recent injury or a cold) often respond quickly in 1–3 sessions. Chronic conditions (like long-standing back pain, anxiety, or hormonal imbalances) typically need a series of 6–10 sessions for lasting results. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan at your first visit and reassess as you progress.

Many insurance plans now cover acupuncture, especially for pain management. We recommend checking with your insurance provider, as coverage varies widely. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and our team can provide superbills upon request so you can seek reimbursement from your insurance directly.

Your first visit is relaxed and conversational. We’ll begin with a thorough health intake — asking about your main concerns, sleep, digestion, stress, and lifestyle. We’ll then do a tongue and pulse assessment (a key diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine) before beginning your treatment. Plan for about 90 minutes for your first appointment. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs.
