Does acupuncture hurt?
Sometimes a slight pinch may be felt.
Things that help ease this feeling are making sure to have eaten before coming and taking deep breaths.
What is included in a treatment?
The initial treatment involves questions regarding your health, main complaint and other aspects that are important to finding your pattern in Chinese Medicine.
​
Initial and return treatments include acupuncture, modalities (cupping, gua sha, tui na) as necessary and taping.

You can book in for these things, options are available to choose from on the scheduling app.
