Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is over 3,500 years old and one of the most widely practiced healing systems in the world. TCM believes that 20 pathways, called meridians, connect up to 2,000 acupuncture points across the body. These meridians conduct energy, or “qi” (pronounced “chi”), between the surface and internal organs. Qi is thought to regulate balance in the body, influenced by the opposing forces of yin and yang—representing positive and negative energies.

Acupuncture is a key treatment in TCM. It’s based on the belief that blockages or disturbances in the body’s energy flow, or “qi”, can cause health issues. Acupuncture helps restore balance between yin and yang, allowing the natural flow of “qi” to promote healing.

Acupuncture is not a quick fix, but it can produce impressive results over time. Chronic conditions, especially those that have been ongoing for months or years, can’t be resolved in just a couple of sessions. Like weight training, acupuncture works cumulatively, and treatment duration varies for each patient.

Common signs that acupuncture is working include improved overall health, less stress, better sleep and digestion, clearer focus, more energy, and a sense of calm.

Your first visit helps determine if acupuncture is right for your condition. The acupuncturist will recommend a trial treatment plan and assess your progress. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete paperwork. After an interview, your acupuncturist will create a treatment plan. Sterile needles are inserted, and you will rest for about 45 minutes before they’re removed. Afterward, take it easy for a couple of hours. Follow-up visits may be recommended.

Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and hair-thin and not designed to cut the skin. They are also inserted to much more shallow levels than hypodermic needles, generally no more than a half-inch to an inch depending on the type of treatment being delivered, causing minimal pain for most people. Some feel relaxed, while others may experience a sensation of excitement. Acupuncture is a drug-free treatment with built-in safeguards, and when done correctly, it does not harm.

Results vary depending on the conditions being treated. Even after a few treatments, there is improvement in underlying conditions. As a general rule, 8-10 treatments are needed to see results in chronic conditions. A study by Brad W. showed that 85% of patients saw results, while 10% had mixed results.

Treatment frequency depends on your condition. As you improve, the time between visits will increase. There are three levels of care:
Acute Care: For short-term or flare-up conditions (e.g., sprained ankle, morning sickness). Treatment is more frequent, usually 2-3 times per week.
Transitional Care: Once symptoms improve, appointments are spaced out but not too far apart.
Maintenance Care: Preventive care to avoid imbalance or illness return. Maintenance might be monthly or every few months, depending on the individual.
