What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture applies sterile single-use needles to selected points within a traditional framework.

Point choice follows clinical assessment.

Why Is It Performed?

Often used to support muscle tension, stress perception, sleep rhythm, and some pain patterns.

It is not a substitute for urgent or surgical care when needed.

Treatment Steps

Skin is prepared; needles are retained briefly with optional gentle stimulation.

Session length reflects the number of points treated.

Recovery After Treatment

Mild tenderness or small bruises at sites may occur.

Many feel relaxed afterwards.

Brief dizziness warrants sitting rest.

How Many Sessions?

Weekly or twice-weekly courses for several weeks are typical.

Maintenance visits may continue as advised.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

For medically eligible adults who tolerate needling and have realistic goals.

Anticoagulants or skin infections require careful individual review.

What to Do After Treatment?

Avoid extreme cold or heat exposure right after the session.

Limit alcohol and heavy exertion on treatment day.

Pricing

Fees depend on session count and duration.
