FAQ

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that originated in ancient China. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing processes and improve overall well-being. We also have needle-free acupuncture and often combine other healing modalities such as moxibustion, Cupping,  Gua-sha, and essential oils. The benefits of acupuncture are numerous and varied, including pain relief, stress reduction, improved sleep, enhanced immune function, improved digestion, and increased energy levels. Acupuncture can also help alleviate symptoms of chronic conditions such as arthritis, allergies, and migraines, and can even be used to support patients undergoing cancer treatment. Whether you are seeking relief from a specific condition or simply looking to improve your overall health and well-being, acupuncture can be an effective and beneficial treatment option.

Our approach to acupuncture treatment is integrative. We will take our time to listen to your background and problems so we can identify how to approach your healing. We may use a single technique or mix modalities with the goal to help you achieve optimal healing and well-being, efficiently.  Our experienced and caring staff will work closely with you to make that happen.

We recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing, but a lot of our patients come from work or other activities. For your convenience we provide clean gowns and sheets for use during treatment.

Not at all! Acupuncture treatments at Healthcare Wellness Center are designed to be painless and relaxing. Our practitioners use gentle techniques and sterile, single-use needles to ensure your comfort and safety. Many of our patients find the experience so relaxing that they fall asleep during treatment. So if you’re worried about acupuncture being painful, don’t be – we’ll make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
