“I’m afraid to try acupuncture. I think it might hurt.”
Acupuncture needles are not much thicker than a human hair. Most people rarely feel very much. Some may feel tingling or a heavy sensation, but almost never “pain”. The fear many new patients have is understandable but is not a good reason to avoid acupuncture treatment. Click here to watch an acupuncture needle being inserted.

“Are your needles sterilized?”
Yes. We use only individually-packaged, pre-sterilized needles that are used only on you, then disposed of as medical waste.
