AcupunctureACUPUNCTUREAcupuncture uses very fine needles, placed along meridian lines to access the Qi, and help it flow more evenly through the body to get where it needs to go to provide healing and nourishment.Q: How does acupuncture help with my pain and stress?A: Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on your body to reset your nervous system, releasing stress and promoting your body’s natural healing ability. Whether it’s physical pain, emotional stress, or issues like digestive or respiratory problems, acupuncture has been shown to help in many areas, reducing inflammation, promoting balance, and often a euphoric sense of well-being.Q: Can acupuncture help with anxiety and emotional stress?A: Yes! Acupuncture is especially effective for helping with stress, anxiety, and resetting the nervous system. It can move your body out of the “fight or flight” mode and back into a more balanced, calm state, helping you feel more centered and relaxed.Q: How many acupuncture sessions will I need, and why is it priced the way it is?A: Many of my clients experience significant benefits after 4 to 8 sessions that are scheduled relatively close together. This frequency helps boost your body’s healing process and get you to a new level of health with decreased pain or improved balance and help move you through an acute flare-up of a chronic condition. The treatments are then spaced further and further apart as your system holds the treatment for longer periods of time, ultimately leading to a maintenance and preventive schedule for treatments, whether monthly or quarterly, or whatever works best for your system. The reason my acupuncture is priced reasonably is to make this method accessible to you, as multiple sessions are often necessary for the best results. Everyone responds differently, and part of what I do is tailor the frequency and approach to your unique needs.
