First-Time Acupuncture FAQ

​

1. What does acupuncture feel like?

• Most people feel little to no discomfort. The needles are extremely thin—about the width of a hair. You may feel a light sensation like warmth, tingling, or heaviness, which is a sign that your body is responding.

​

2. Is acupuncture safe?

• Yes. Acupuncture is a safe, time-tested therapy when performed by a licensed professional. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict cleanliness protocols for every session.

​

3. Can acupuncture make my anxiety or panic worse?

• No. Acupuncture is designed to calm the nervous system, not activate it. If you're especially sensitive or anxious, we’ll use extra-gentle techniques and walk you through everything to ensure you feel safe and supported.

​

4. What should I expect at my first session?

• Your first visit includes a consultation where we’ll discuss your health history, symptoms, and goals. You’ll then receive a personalized treatment in a peaceful, quiet room. Expect to leave feeling deeply relaxed.

​

5. How many sessions will I need?

• Everyone is different. Some clients feel better after just one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments over time. We’ll create a plan that fits your needs, comfort level, and budget.

​

6. What should I wear or bring?

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You don’t need to bring anything special—we’ll provide everything you need to relax.
