If you are human, you can benefit from acupuncture. Whether you have long-standing chronic illness, are experiencing an acute issue, or you are looking for preventative health care, acupuncture is a great tool for you.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. When the needles do hurt upon insertion, the pain typically dissipates within a few seconds. Receiving acupuncture from me is not an endurance test— if a needle is persistently uncomfortable, it can be removed no questions asked. The most important thing is you feel comfortable and safe during treatment.

Unfortunately there is no one-size-fits-all answer for this question. I typically recommend treatment 1-2x per week for a number of weeks. Once symptoms start to change, treatment frequency tapers off. Many patients end up finding that treatment affects their primary concern as well as other aspects of their well-being. Once main concerns are addressed, I often recommend monthly or seasonal appointments as maintenance.

I am not in network with any insurance companies. However, I can accept HSA cards for payment. If you have out-of-network benefits or want the cost of acupuncture to apply to your deductible, I am happy to provide you with a super bill (medical receipt) to submit to your insurance provider.
