Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on your condition, health history, and goals. Some patients notice improvement after just one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments over several weeks. Whitney will create a personalized plan during your initial session.
Is acupuncture safe?
Absolutely. Acupuncture is very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. Sterile, single-use needles are used to help towards creating a calming environment for your care.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile needles — much thinner than those used for injections or blood draws. Most patients feel little to no discomfort when the needles are inserted. Some experience a mild sensation of warmth, tingling, or heaviness, which is a normal sign that the body is responding. Depending on the treatment, you could be so relaxed that you fall asleep.
