More FAQs

  • You may feel a bit of a pinch when the needles go in, but this should ease right away and if not we can easily adjust to make you more comfortable. A slight ache or heavy feeling near the needle is usually a good sign – a clue that the body is reacting in a productive way. You will be surprised by how quickly your body relaxes once your pins are in place!

  • Acupuncture works on a relaxation response causing a release of feel-good, pain-relieving endorphins and other biochemicals that promote relaxation, recovery and optimal function at a cellular level.

  • Acupuncture provides natural relief for a range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, migraines, insomnia, digestive disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. It's particularly beneficial for athletes seeking performance enhancement or injury recovery and is suitable for individuals of all ages looking for holistic health solutions.

  • Much like working out or eating well, Acupuncture treatments have a cumulative effect, with each treatment building on the last. We expect to see results within 3 visits and a course of treatment is generally 3-12 visits. It’s important to note that most clinical studies consider 12 visits to be a general course of treatment.

    For short-term issues, a handful of acupuncture treatments should do the job. For chronic or long-standing issues, a maintenance schedule of some sort would be in order to keep systems running smoothly and steadily after the initial period of relief and change.

  • YES! Even if you're feeling fine, regular sessions help keep everything running smoothly, like improving digestion, sleep, and stress levels. It's all about staying in top shape and avoiding problems down the road.

PEMF Therapy FAQs

  • All that is required is to simply lie on the PEMF mat, fully clothed. You can wear your headphones to listen to music, a meditation or a podcast or even read a book!

  • You will feel the pulsing of the magnetic current during treatment and the warmth of deep infrared heat. Most folks are deeply relaxed throughout the session.

    After a session some people feel an increase in energy. Most feel muscle relaxation, a decrease in their pain or discomfort, better breathing and deeper sleep.

  • Yes, 30 years of solid research. With the introduction and ongoing use of pulsed electromagnetic fields to the body, an induction of electrons creates a natural resonance that the body and its cells recognize and work to maintain. Over 2000 studies validate it’s use, with leaders like NASA and many professional sports teams integrating it into their recovery plans.

  • Just like your acupuncture treatment, be sure to hydrate well. PEMFs stimulate currents in tissues. These currents simply don’t flow well without hydration.

  • Implanted Electronic Devices
    PEMF therapy is not recommended for individuals with implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, or intrathecal pumps. The magnetic field produced by PEMF can interfere with or deactivate these devices.

    Organ Transplants
    PEMF therapy is contraindicated for organ transplant recipients, as it may increase the risk of organ rejection.

    Cautions

    • Pregnancy: While there is no evidence of harm, the safety of PEMF during pregnancy has not been fully established.

    • Neurological Conditions: Individuals with conditions that may cause seizures (e.g., epilepsy) should use PEMF with caution, as there is a theoretical risk of triggering a seizure, though it is rare.

    • Active Bleeding: PEMF can increase circulation, which may worsen active bleeding or affect clotting, delaying healing. It should only be used once bleeding is controlled.
