A: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to balance the body's energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"). At On Point Acupuncture, we utilize this time-tested technique to address various types of pain by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Acupuncture can be highly effective in treating conditions such as chronic back pain, migraines, arthritis, and more by reducing inflammation, improving blood circulation, and releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. Our professional and compassionate team is dedicated to empowering you to live pain-free, one appointment at a time, ensuring personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

A: At On Point Acupuncture, we understand that many clients are concerned about potential discomfort during acupuncture treatments. The reality is that most people experience minimal to no pain. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, much finer than those used for injections or blood tests. When the needles are inserted, you may feel a slight tingling sensation or a mild ache, but this is usually temporary. Our professional acupuncturists are highly skilled and trained to ensure your comfort throughout the session. We prioritize creating a relaxing environment, empowering you to live pain-free, one appointment at a time. If you have any concerns or are sensitive to pain, please let us know, and we will tailor the treatment to meet your needs.

A: The number of acupuncture sessions you will need at On Point Acupuncture can vary depending on the severity and duration of your condition. During your initial consultation, our specialist will conduct a thorough assessment, considering your individual health needs and goals. For acute issues, some patients may experience significant improvement within 4-6 sessions. Chronic conditions, however, might require a more extended treatment plan, potentially spanning several months with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Our dedicated team will work with you to personalize a treatment plan designed to achieve the best possible outcome, aiming to empower you to live pain-free, one appointment at a time.
