Frequently Asked Questions

  • We utilize sterile, disposable stainless steel acupuncture needles to ensure the highest standards of safety and hygiene during each treatment session.

  • During your first visit, I will carefully ask you a series of detailed questions, as well as examine your tongue and assess your pulse. This comprehensive approach will allow me to view what's going on with your body as a whole and to gain a better understanding of what may be ailing you.

  • Technically acupuncture only involves needling, but we also use other adjunct modality to help heal the body such as moxibustion, cupping, and tui na.

  • Moxibustion also known as moxa, is a form of heat therapy utilizing a dried plant burning it on or over the surface of the skin. It is a safe modality we use burn cream on top of the skin to prevent burns.

  • There are two forms of cupping, fire cupping and suction cupping. Generally they work the same way, pulling on the skin drawing blood up to the surface. Fire cupping utilizes actual fire to be able to do this while suction cupping uses a mechanical pump method.
