I’ve never done acupuncture before. Does it hurt?

It’s a mental block - many people have fear about acupuncture being painful, but in reality, the needles are incredibly thin and don’t hurt when inserted skillfully, as our Doctor Yulian does.


What conditions can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing form that predates western Medicine by several millennia. This means that before there were widely accepted drug prescriptions and surgeries to treat illness, people were turning to acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for relief from disease.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are extremely effective towards treating:

  • Arthritis

  • Colds/Fevers

  • Asthma and other respiratory syndromes

  • Allergies

  • Fertility/Infertility

  • Acute injuries (sprains, strains, contusions, and fractures)

  • Sports performance

  • Mental health disorders

  • Stress-related conditions (involuntary twitches, anxiety, depression)

Do I need to regularly schedule appointments?

One session is all it takes to feel some of the beneficial effects of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, but to improve your health long-term requires lifestyle changes. We will work together to determine what these changes are and create plans to get you on track to living your healthiest life.

What are the benefits? What are the risks?

Benefits range from pain relief to improved mobility to completely curing ailments. Whatever is affecting you, we can work together to solve it! Overall, acupuncture is a very low-risk treatment method. However, if you have certain medical conditions acupuncture may not be the best option for you. We will discuss your medical history and explore the best treatments for you.

How long is a typical session?

A typical appointment will last an hour. The session may include diagnosis, consultation, acupuncture, herbal remedies, Tui-Na, fire-cupping, moxibustion, or other treatments. We will create a customized treatment plan for you to ensure optimal results!
