Acupoints are located throughout the body (sometimes far from the area of pain or concern for the patient). You will be given a gown to wear and will be asked to lie down on a comfortable treatment table in order to begin the session. Thin needles are then inserted at strategic points, which people often don’t even feel. The acupuncturist may apply electrical stimulation to the needles, if necessary, and the needles will remain in place for 10-20 minutes. The number of treatments needed is dependent upon the type of issue being addressed and the relief felt after each session.
