Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncture and (TCM) Traditional Chinese Medicine

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is generally considered a safe treatment when performed by a licensed practitioner. Acupuncture needles are single-use, sterile, and disposable, which minimizes the risk of infection. However, it is important to disclose any medical conditions or medications you are taking to your practitioner before undergoing acupuncture.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people do not feel significant pain during acupuncture. Acupuncture needles are extremely fine and flexible, which allows them to be inserted with minimal discomfort. Some people may feel a slight sensation or pressure during needle insertion, but this is usually brief and not painful. Acupuncture is generally a relaxing and comfortable experience.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

The number of acupuncture sessions you may need depends on the nature and severity of your pain. Some people may experience relief after one session, while others may need multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs and goals.

Can I receive acupuncture if I'm taking pain medication?

Yes, you can receive acupuncture while taking pain medication. Acupuncture can be used as a complementary therapy to help manage pain alongside medication. However, it is important to disclose any medications or supplements you are taking to your practitioner, as this may impact your treatment plan. Your practitioner may work with you and your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive pain management plan that includes acupuncture and medication, as appropriate.
