FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any side effects to acupuncture or other TCM treatments?

Acupuncture and TCM treatments are generally very safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner.

Some common, mild side effects may include slight bruising or soreness at the needle insertion points, temporary lightheadedness, or mild fatigue after treatment.

These effects are usually short-lived and pass within a day or two. 

I'm afraid of needles—can I still benefit from TCM?

Yes, you can still receive acupuncture even if you're afraid of needles. Acupuncture needles are very fine and often barely felt. Your comfort is a priority, and we can start with gentle techniques to help you feel more at ease. Many people find their fear decreases once they experience how gentle and painless acupuncture can be.

For children or those particularly sensitive to needles, there are alternatives such as Japanese moxibustion (okyu), which is a great way to stimulate healing without the use of needles.

What does acupuncture feel like?

The sensations experienced during acupuncture can vary from person to person and depend on factors such as individual sensitivity and the specific technique used.

Some people may not feel much during the treatment, while others describe the insertion of acupuncture needles as a slight tingling, warmth, pressure, or even a dull ache at the insertion point. Once the needles are in place, you might feel a sense of relaxation or heaviness in the treated area or throughout your body.

It's important that you feel comfortable and at ease during your session. If you experience any sensations or have concerns, please don’t hesitate to communicate with me. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities, so feel free to share any feedback or questions throughout the session. Together, we’ll ensure your acupuncture experience is as pleasant and beneficial as possible.

Many people find acupuncture to be a calming and enjoyable experience, often leaving the session feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.

Many patients even fall asleep during the treatment!

Do I need to “believe” in Chinese Medicine for it to be effective?

No you don’t. Chinese medicine is based on over 2,000 years of clinical experience; it is not a "philosophy" or a belief system. it is not merely a "philosophy" or a belief system.

This system is grounded in a clear, logical, and consistent theory.Its effectiveness has been demonstrated and continues to expand worldwide, where it is experiencing rapid growth.

Today, it ranks as the second most commonly used form of medicine after Western medicine.

Chinese medicine provides a meaningful and complementary alternative to conventional drug therapies.

We support collaboration among various medical approaches that have proven their efficacy.
