Acupuncture FAQ

How big are the needles?

Many people are concerned that the needles are like huge hypodermic needles that you’d see at the hospital. On the contrary, the needles used are small and ultra-thin, about the same size as a diabetic needle. They are different, as they are not designed to cut the skin like a needle used in giving a shot.

Is this covered by insurance?

A few insurance companies cover acupuncture. We can check your benefits to determine if you have coverage.

How long does a session take?

We usually ask that a patient allocate an hour for the entire appointment, which covers everything involved, including the treatment time, which can be 25-30 minutes.

Five Element Style

Though there are different styles of acupuncture, we primarily utilize Five Element, which is based on understanding Qi, which is life energy . The Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each embodies a distinctive feature of the Qi energy that is vital when it comes to the continual vigor and movement of nature.
