Q: How does acupuncture work?
A: Acupuncture is based on the theory that there is energy, which we called qi, flowing through the body. In Chinese medicine, we believe that a blockage of the qi on a pathway may result in illness. Therefore, once acupuncture unblocks the flow of qi can restore health. 

Q: Does acupuncture provide long lasting result?
A: YES! Acupuncture addresses the underlying cause of diseases, not merely the symptoms. When correcting the cause of the problem, the results are long –lasting or permanent. 

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: The number of the treatments needed varies widely according to the condition. Usually, two to three times per weeks for the first 2-3 weeks are recommended. Chronic cases may require treatment for several weeks or longer. Acute problems generally respond much faster. Occasional treatments throughout the year are usually sufficient to maintain good health. 

Q: How long does the treatment Last?
A: A treatment may last 45 minutes per section.

Q: Can I feel the needles?
A: Sometimes there is a mild discomfort that lasts momentarily upon insertion of the acupuncture needle. Acupuncture needles are very thin and are inserted quickly to avoid the sensation of pain. Once the needles are in place, the patient usually does not feel them. 

Q: How are the needles sterilized?
A: Disposable stainless steel needles are used for each treatment.
