How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture therapy works by inserting very thin needles on the skin to hit the acupuncture points in the body to restore the balance between the yin and yang of a person’s life force (called “Qi” but read as “chi”).
However, in today’s practice, acupuncture is just a therapy to stimulate the sensory nerves under the skin using very thin needles. The stimulation of the sensory nerves affects the pain processing of the nervous system and the muscles. This also improves blood flow to the different parts of the body.
What to expect on your first Acupuncture Therapy?
Before the actual acupuncture therapy, we’ll do a brief exam first so we can discuss your symptoms and health history. After that, the therapy session will last for 45 to 60 minutes.
During your acupuncture therapy, you may fall into a meditative state, as some patients do. Or you may feel energized after the therapy like other patients do.
If you’re trying acupuncture for pain relief, our acupuncturist will give you a treatment plan after your first therapy.
How many Acupuncture Therapies do I need before I get results?
Depends on what you’re using acupuncture for but we’ve had patients who felt immediate relief after their first acupuncture therapy, while some needed several therapies before they felt noticeable results.
The frequency of acupuncture therapy also depends on the severity of your condition. In less serious cases, once a week for a few weeks is all they need. But in severe cases, twice a week for several weeks is recommended.

These are the symptoms and conditions that acupuncture can relieve.
MIGRAINES
By increasing blood circulation and reducing tension, acupuncture allows your body to produce your own pain reliever. This decreases the severity and frequency of migraines and headaches.
pregnancy
Acupuncture alleviates morning sickness and reduces the chances of miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies (fertilized egg growing outside the uterus).
PMS
Acupuncture helps you manage your mood, relieve your cramps, back pain, breast tenderness, headaches, and other symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle.
DEPRESSION
Acupuncture helps regulate the production of neurotransmitters and endorphins that are responsible for moods to restore the balance of your neurochemical production. Manage your mood and fix your depression with acupuncture.
INSOMNIA
Acupuncture reduces your stress and assists your body in producing the essential hormones needed for a healthy sleep-wake cycle. Reset your body’s internal clock with acupuncture.
INFERTILITY
Acupuncture increases the blood flow to your reproductive organs, balances your hormones, helps manage your stress and keeps a healthy menstrual cycle for women.
It also increases In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intrauterine insemination (IUI) success rate. Increase your fertility rate with acupuncture.
STRESS
Acupuncture encourages the production of endorphins (a.k.a. happy hormones) triggering the turn off switch of the sympathetic nervous system response (fight or flight mode) allowing your body to relax and focus on restoration and nourishment.
Improve your wellness and avoid diseases caused by stress with acupuncture.
PTSD
Acupuncture reduces your stress & anxiety and puts your body in a state of relaxation. So you can regulate an overactive nervous system and facilitate a healthy response to stress.
ALLERGIES
Acupuncture decreases your nasal congestion to open up your sinus and make your body regulate its response to allergens. Use acupuncture to treat your allergies.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Acupuncture balances your hormones and helps regulate your menstrual cycle. Keep a healthy ovulation with acupuncture.
ANXIETY
Acupuncture relaxes your mind and body so it can turn off the sympathetic nervous system response (a.k.a. fight or flight mode) and turn on the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest mode).
Reduce the severity of your anxiety and decrease the frequency of your panic attacks with acupuncture.
DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Acupuncture causes an anti-inflammatory response within the body that can increase or decrease gut peristalsis. And also balances endocrine and nervous system responses that directly affect the digestive system.
Try acupuncture and decrease the number of flare-ups and the severity of symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Reduce diarrhea, constipation, bloating, nausea and vomiting with acupuncture.
