Acupuncture FAQs

How Does Acupuncture work?

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and wellness. It is a safe, natural, and effective way to restore balance and harmony to the mind and body- improving your physical, emotional, and mental health.

When an acupuncturist inserts needles into certain points on the body, they stimulate the body to heal itself, to bring itself back to balance. Electrical signals are sent through our nerves to the brain and as a result, hormones and endorphins are released. The needles encourage blood flow and the reduction of inflammation. The treatments are inherently relaxing because the needles trigger our parasympathetic nervous system which calms our body and mind.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective complementary health practice that can treat a number of health conditions including chronic pain, mental health issues, fertility concerns, among other health conditions.

Is Acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is considered safe when performed by a licensed and trained acupuncturist. The risk of any serious side effects is very low. Thrive Acupuncture has over 15 years of experience in the field and follow strict hygiene protocols including the use of sterile and disposable needles.

Does Acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture typically causes minimal discomfort at most. You may feel a slight prick or “zingy” sensation when the needle is inserted, but most people do not experience any pain. Your comfort is our primary concern.

Do you have direct billing?

Yes, we are able to direct bill to most major insurance providers. We do recommend contacting your benefits provider to ensure this option is available to you. Please bring your insurance information to first your appointment.

Andrea is a kind and thoughtful practitioner. I went to her for acupuncture and cupping to relieve pain from a chronic back injury. She took a detailed history, provided excellent care, and gave me advice on ways to manage my pain in-between visits. I highly recommend Thrive Acupuncture for anyone who is looking for wholistic and compassionate care.
