Questions We Get All the Time
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes, and it is not just a conversation. Your $95 New Client Offer covers two visits: a 30-minute New Client Consultation, then your first acupuncture treatment with your personalized care plan.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on you. A typical plan starts with weekly or twice weekly visits for 12 weeks before we reassess. Chronic issues usually take longer than recent ones. Plan on at least a month to see significant change.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are nothing like the ones used for shots or blood draws. They are about the width of a cat's whisker and very flexible. Most people feel a dull, heavy or warm sensation, and plenty of clients fall asleep on the table.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-based practice and are not in network with insurance providers. We accept HSA and FSA payments and can provide Superbills for reimbursement if your policy accepts them.
