FAQs
Q: Does Acupuncture hurt?
A: In general, patients feel little to no pain during an Acupuncture treatment. Occa- sionally, a small pinch might accompany the insertion of the needle, although this is not always the case. Once the needle has been inserted, numbness, tingling, warmth, and a dull ache are some of the most commonly reported sensations.
Q: Is Acupuncture safe?
A: If performed by a trained and certified acupuncturist, Acupuncture is very safe. Liz has undergone years of education and training in safe needle technique, including proper needle location, angle, and depth in order to avoid injury. In addition, Acupuncture needles are sterile and single- use only.
Q: What should I expect during my first appointment?
A: During your first appointment, Liz will conduct a thorough health history, help you identify your top health concerns and goals, address any additional questions you may have, outline a treatment plan, and com- plete your first treatment. Expect your first appointment to last about 90 minutes, while all follow-up appointments typically last about 60 minutes.
