What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy that helps bring your body back into balance. It works by stimulating specific points on the body with very fine, hair-thin needles to support natural healing, reduce pain, and promote overall wellness. Most people find it surprisingly relaxing!

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture can help with a wide range of issues, including:

• Chronic and acute pain (back, neck, joints, etc.)
• Stress, anxiety, and trouble sleeping
• Headaches and migraines
• Digestive issues
• Hormonal balance and menstrual health
• Fertility support
• Fatigue and low energy
• Allergies and immune support
• and many more

It’s a holistic approach that supports your body, mind, and spirit—all at once.

‍What to Expect During Your Visit

Your first visit starts with a caring conversation. We’ll talk about your health goals, lifestyle, and any symptoms you're experiencing. Then, you'll relax on a comfortable treatment table while thin, sterile needles are gently placed at key points on your body.

The first session lasts about 90 minutes, and most people describe the experience as calming—some even fall asleep! You may feel a light tingling, warmth, or a deep sense of calm as the treatment works.

There’s no downtime, and many people leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more balanced.

How to Prepare for Your Acupuncture Visit

To help you feel comfortable and get the most out of your session, here are a few simple tips to prepare:

1. Eat a Light Meal or Snack

Avoid coming on an empty stomach, but don’t arrive overly full either. A light meal or snack about an hour beforehand helps keep your energy balanced and prevents lightheadedness.

2. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Loose-fitting clothes are ideal. Many acupuncture points are on your arms, legs, and back, so we’ll need easy access to those areas. Gowns or blankets are always available if needed.

3. Hydrate

Drink water before and after your session to support your body’s natural detox and healing processes.

4. Avoid Stimulants or Alcohol Before Your Appointment

Try to skip caffeine, alcohol, or heavy exercise right before your treatment—they can interfere with your body's ability to relax and respond optimally.

5. Arrive a Few Minutes Early

Give yourself time to settle in, use the restroom, and begin your session in a calm, unhurried state.

6. Communicate Openly

Let your acupuncturist know how you’re feeling, any symptoms you’re experiencing, and what your goals are for the session. It’s your time to be heard and supported.

7. Plan for Some Downtime After

If possible, keep your schedule light after your session. Many people feel relaxed, peaceful, or even a little sleepy—it’s your body’s way of resetting and healing.
