4worldlovers: Only rarely does someone come in just to see how acupuncture can help them stay well, but the truth is that acupuncture is at its best when used as a tool to prevent illness and maintain wellness.

I recommend that my patients consider an "acupuncture tune-up" twice a month, just as you might have a massage to keep your muscles loose.

Regular acupuncture treatments give your body the gift of improved blood circulation, deep relaxation, a gentle prompt to adjust body temperature, blood pressure, immune system performance and other autonomic/involuntary processes.

If any health issues have come up since your last visit, we can begin addressing them, if you have any health-related questions, we can help you find the answers.

A) Acupuncture is essentially painless. Although some people may experience a slight pinch as the needle is inserted, many feel nothing at all.

A) Modern acupuncture needles are disposable and used only once, there is no risk of transmitting infections from one person to another.

A) Number of needles used in each session depends on patient's condition. However, our acupuncturists minimize the number of needles used and make them effective. (Usually, 4-8 needles each session)

A) Once inserted, the needles remain in place for approximately 20~30 minutes

Acupuncture is not about needles alone. There are other basic "tools" that our acupuncturists usually use to help the patient meet his or her health goals.

Pain is the body's warning alarm. It tells you something is wrong. If you ignore your body's alarm, similarly to the fire alarm in your house, severe problems can form soon.

Generally speaking, relieving blood and Qi (energy) stagnancy, balancing the energy, nourishing the tissue, increasing circulation, and building up deficient organs are all ways that acupuncture treats pain.
