Answers to Common Questions
Does it hurt?
The needles are extremely thin, most people can't feel them at all. Sometimes acupuncture feels like dull pressure - for example when you get a massage on a trigger point.
Will I have to keep coming forever?
The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is
resolved, it stays that way.
Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments?
Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss
this in more detail at your free consultation.
Is natural medicine REALLY powerful enough to resolve my pelvic floor dysfunction?
Absolutely. Natural medicine actually helps your body make more of its own medicine,
which is more powerful and potent than any man-made medicine.
How long does it take to see results?
People often feel a shift after the very
first treatment. Acupuncture is a very powerful way
to stimulate endorphin release, which is the most powerful relaxing substance the body
makes.

Acute pain warns you that you have been hurt. It starts suddenly, and when the injury heals, the pain stops. In acute injury, the pain is due to pressure from inflammation in the tissues and nerves at the site of the injury. This inflammation leads to the swelling that is observable and is part of the body’s healing response.
Chronic pain continues after the injury has healed, lasting for weeks, months, even years. In chronic injury, nerve signals that were active during acute injury continue to send messages that the body is in pain. Although chronic pain is not completely understood, it is potentially due to nerves that have become damaged.
New research also suggests that chronic pain can come from a malfunction in the way the brain ‘maps’ sensory information.
Acupuncture can re-educate the nervous system.
