FAQ

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the most commonly practiced forms of medicine in the world and is used by approximately 2.5 billion people as a primary healthcare system. It originated in China over 4,000 years ago and is a safe, effective and painless method for supporting our body’s natural healing process. This is achieved by inserting thin, sterilized, single-use disposable needles in specific points on the body.

Physical, mental and emotional symptoms are the result of blocked energy (qi) in our body. By placing sterile, hair-thin, single use needles in specific points on the body the blocked energy is moved. Acupuncture has been found effective, but not limited to treat the following:

  • Anxiety
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Stress
  • Trauma
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Menopause Symptoms

  • Fatigue
  • Chronic and Acute Pain
  • Back Pain, Lower, Middle and Upper Back
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • Knee Pain
  • Respiratory Disorders

  • Digestive Disorders
  • Depression
  • Fertility
  • Postpartum Depression
  • Menstrual Symptoms
  • Weight Loss

How does acupuncture work?

In Western Medicine terms, inserting the needles stimulates the nervous system resulting in increased circulation, decreased inflammation, pain relief and immune system stimulation.

Eastern Medicine philosophy explains acupuncture using the Chinese Medical Theory that energy (Qi) flows through our body and can become blocked or out of balance creating a variety of physical, mental and emotional symptoms. While acupuncture is often used for pain-related conditions, many people also receive treatments as a preventative medicine seeing their acupuncturist at least once a month for a “tune-up” or “balancing” treatment.

What should you expect during your acupuncture appointment?

Your first appointment will last 90 minutes and we will spend the first half of the appointment discussing your medical, family and personal history followed by a physical exam. Then you will receive your first acupuncture treatment. After your initial treatment, it is recommended that you receive 60-minute follow-up treatments with some regular frequency as you build a healing condition in your body, then taper off treatments into a maintenance program.

How does it feel?

The sensation produced by an acupuncture needle is much milder than a shot or having blood drawn. Once the needles are in, some sensations may include a mild feeling of energy movement, a slight tingling feeling and almost always an increased sense of relaxation.

How should you care for yourself before and after your appointment?

To enhance the value of your treatment please be sure to have eaten before your appointment, however avoid heavy meals prior and immediately following treatment; do not use perfume or cologne prior to treatment; try to plan your activities so that you can rest after your appointment to allow your body to receive the maximum benefit; continue prescription medication exactly as directed by your personal physician; notice and report to me any changes in physical or emotional patterns that occur between treatment sessions as this information is valuable in planning the course of your following treatments.

Testimonials

I have noticed a genuine overall improvement in my stomach pain and also my general well being, stress levels, and overall happiness. I have learned to get more sleep and take time for myself. These treatments have changed my life in a way I never thought possible.

I came to Rebecca to help manage the pain from sciatica.  I kept coming because Rebecca helps me manage the challenges of modern life by understanding the interaction between physical and emotional issues and supporting me wherever I am on the day.  I always leave feeling better, stronger and more equipped to handle whatever is coming next.

Rebecca cares deeply about her discipline. She listens intently to me and offers kind and intelligent reflections in response. She always leads with curiosity and offers genuine support. The emotional and physical effects of acupuncture have been incredibly beneficial to me.

She has been instrumental in my emotional and physical journey of self-awareness and well-being.  She really listens as I share what losses, triumphs, and challenges have occurred since our last session.  She digs deeper for her own clarification and to get me thinking. She knows exactly what meridian points to unblock the negative energy or pain that helps me move through and heal much quicker.

Through acupuncture, Rebecca was able to help me eliminate all pain in my left shoulder. My sleep improved from 3-4 hours a night to 7-8 hours a night. Committing to acupuncture as a means of pain relief, and reducing anxiety has been a remarkable experience for me. It is contributing to my overall well being. Rebecca does this with compassion, concern, and courtesy.

I started seeing Rebecca after a childhood friend recommended acupuncture as a tool to managing my ongoing headaches, back and hip pain and stress.   I was open to the idea that the treatments might help but otherwise unsure what to expect.   Rebecca immediately made me feel at ease as we discussed my symptoms and she explained how acupuncture could help relieve them. Her professionalism is matched by her knowledge and empathy, when I leave a session I always feel better, calmer and stronger.  Since my first visit a few months ago, I am experiencing less pain, fewer headaches
