Can Acupuncture help _______________? The answer is almost always YES!
By inserting very thin needles into various places on the body, the nervous system relearns how to respond to the stimulus of everyday life. This includes pain, emotional problems, and a variety of states of being that don't necessarily have to be chronic! The positive effects of acupuncture may last for a day to weeks, depending on the individual. In general, the longer a problem has existed, the longer a course of treatment will be appropriate. However, the more frequently we treat, the better the body generally responds.
Does it hurt?
This depends on the individual. Some people feel nothing, while others are very aware of the needle insertion. After each needle is in place, the only sensation should be the coursing of Qi throughout the body. Many patients report that they can feel the energy of their body shift.
How long will it last?
Acupuncture sessions are typically 50 minutes long. There is some discussion about your state of health at the beginning. Then very thin solid needles are inserted gently and then left for around 30 minutes, long enough for the Qi to circulate through your entire body. The effects will last anywhere from a few hours to forever, depending on your condition and your unique body chemistry.

I take Providence and OHP (which requires a doctor's reccomendation and only applies to certain conditions)
