How fast does it work?
How fast can you take away my pain?
Sometimes one acupuncture treatment is all it takes to relieve your pain. But some chronic pain conditions require multiple acupuncture treatments. Pain we treat can be caused by many conditions such as:
- Arthritis
- Migraines
- Sports Injuries
- Fibromyalgia
- Neck and back pain
- Tendonitis
- Sciatica
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
Although acupuncture can relieve pain in minutes, every condition is different. Some types of pain treatment require multiple sessions to keep the pain away. Other types like back pain may need physical therapy in addition to acupuncture. Pain from sports injuries or headaches will often be gone after one 50 minute acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture Intro
What is Acupuncture?
Over five thousand years ago, the Chinese discovered the complex relationship between stimulating a point on the skin to influence a particular organ or organ pathway. Acupuncture uses thin sterile disposable needles that are inserted into acupuncture points to cause an effect in the body. In Acupuncture, the practitioner treats not just the symptoms but the whole person – body, mind and spirit.
How does it work?
Neural Theory: Insertion of needles stimulates the nervous system releasing chemicals to either alleviate pain or affect the body’s internal regulating systems. It stimulates nerve fibers to carry electrical impulses back to the brain increasing beta endorphin concentrations.
Electrical Theory: Research has shown that there is a higher electrical magnetic field around the acupuncture points than in the surrounding skin.
