Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, no. Some acupuncture points may have some mild discomfort. 

Our goal with treatment is cumulative benefit. One round of acupuncture is 6-8 treatments 1-2 times a week. Since every body responds to acupuncture differently I'd like to see you once a week for 3-4 weeks before I can give a more acurate projection of progress.

Currently we can bill UMR, UHC, Surest, and select Medica plans. It's important to call your insurance company to verify benefits. 

Acupuncturists cannot bill Medicare.

Try to wear comfortable clothes if you can. Make sure to eat a meal or snack 1-2 hours prior. 

Dry needling is just one technique acupuncturists learn in our 4+ years of postgraduate education that uses trigger points to release specific, tight muscles. In recent years other professionals have taken continuing education courses to needle patients for this intended result.
