Q: Is Acupuncture safe?
A: When preformed by a qualified, licensed professional, acupuncture is one of the safest medical procedures in the world. Acupuncture needles are sterile and disposed of after each use.

Q: How long is the treatment?
A: Generally an acupuncture treatment lasts around 1 hour, but may run as long as 1:45 hours.

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Acupuncture treats the underlying cause of illness thus alleviating symptoms and strengthening your overall system. Usually one or two treatments per week, but it depends on your condition. You practitioner will give you a general idea of the time necessary. Chronic illness may require treatment for several weeks or longer and acute problems generally respond much faster.
