Requently Asked Questions about Acupuncture

We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand how acupuncture works and what to expect.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a treatment that involves placing very fine needles into specific points on the body to reduce pain, support recovery, and improve overall function.

It is commonly used to help with pain, stress, sleep issues, and nervous system regulation.

What can acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture can support a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Pain and muscle tension
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Poor sleep
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Digestive issues
  • Pregnancy-related discomfort

If you’re unsure, it’s worth asking.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people feel little to no pain.

The needles are very fine, and you may feel a slight sensation when they are inserted. Many people feel relaxed during treatment, and some even fall asleep.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your condition and how your body responds.

Some people notice improvement after one or two sessions, while others benefit from a short course of treatment over several weeks.

How long are appointments?

Initial appointments are 60 minutes. 

Follow-up sessions are usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on what is required.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

This makes it easier to access areas such as your arms, legs, or back if needed.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are generally mild.

You may experience slight soreness, minor bruising, or feel relaxed or tired after treatment.

Can I have acupuncture during pregnancy?

Yes, acupuncture can be used during pregnancy when provided by a trained practitioner.

It may help with nausea, back pain, and general discomfort. Let your practitioner know if you are pregnant so your treatment can be tailored appropriately.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required.

You can book directly with our clinic.
