Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance, but are happy to provide you with a detailed "superbill" that has all the information needed by your insurer for reimbursement if your policy covers acupuncture.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Effective acupuncture often elicits a "Qi sensation" at the site of needling. Depending on the acupoint being used, there may be a tight, distending, bruising, warming, tingly or traveling sensation. Your acupuncturist will work within your comfort level to avoid causing too strong a sensation.
What should I wear?
Please wear loose fitting clothes that can be rolled up past the knee and elbow.
How many times do I need to come? Will it work?
Acupuncture leverages the body's natural healing resources. Results vary from person to person according to the stregnth of those natural resources, and other factors such as age and duration of illness. In general, most cases require 4-8 treatments to achieve a lasting result, with maintenence treatments thereafter to ensure results stick. When combined with proper sleep, diet, and exercise, many health ailments can be corrected using acupuncture.
