How It Works

Each session begins with a brief review of your concerns. Acupuncture uses thin needles placed at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing response. Cupping applies suction to the skin to release tension, increase blood flow, and support recovery. Both treatments can be used together or independently depending on your needs.

Details

Treatment Details

Session Length

Initial visits are 60 minutes and include a brief consultation. Return visits are 45 minutes with a quick check-in before treatment begins.

Downtime

Typically none. You may feel relaxed or slightly tired after treatment. Most people return to normal activities the same day. It is important to stay hydrated after your treatment.

Cupping Marks

Cupping often leaves circular marks on the skin that can last a few days to two weeks. These are caused by increased circulation and fade on their own.

Acupuncture Needles

Needles are hair-thin, sterile, and single-use. Most people feel little to no discomfort during insertion. A mild ache or warmth at the needle site is normal and expected.

Insurance Coverage

Acupuncture and cupping can be submitted to your extended benefits under Naturopathic Services. It is recommended to check with your insurance company what coverage you have for naturopathic services. We offer direct billing to most insurance companies.

Combination Treatments

Acupuncture and cupping are often used together in the same session for enhanced results. Your treatment plan is tailored to your specific concerns and goals.

Common Questions

What conditions does acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture is used in my practice for musculoskeletal concerns such as back pain, neck tension, and joint pain. It may also support stress relief, sleep, and general wellbeing.

Does acupuncture hurt?

What should I expect after cupping?

Cupping often leaves circular marks on the skin that can last a few days to two weeks. They are the result of increased circulation to the area and will fade on their own.

No formal downtime is needed. You may feel relaxed or mildly fatigued after your session. Most people return to their regular activities the same day.
