Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does acupuncture hurt?

   • While each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel only a minimal amount of sensation as the needles are inserted. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and they are inserted gently and shallowly. Once the needles are in place, most of our patients tell us that they experience a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing that lasts for many hours after the treatment.

2. How long will it take before I can see results?

   • Everyone responds to treatment differently so your results will depend on your particular situation. There are certain issues that can be addressed in a visit or two; other cases might require more treatments until your goal is met.

3. What should I expect from my initial consultation and first treatment?

   • The first time you visit me, you will receive a comprehensive consultation, a diagnosis and an acupuncture treatment. We'll go through your medical history and will determine the best course of treatment based on your case. No labs or medical documentation are necessary, but if you do have any, I'll be happy to look over any information that you’d like to bring. 

4. What should I wear for my acupuncture treatment?

   • Your comfort is key! The best choice is comfortable, loose clothing that can be easily adjusted to expose areas like your arms, legs, or abdomen, if needed. Often, just rolling up a sleeve or pant leg is enough. If specific points require more access, I will always use professional draping to maintain your privacy and comfort. 

5. Should I eat before my appointment?

   • While I don’t recommend eating a huge meal before a treatment, I do suggest that you have something light so that you’re not get treated on an empty stomach.

6. Will you prescribe me herbs?

   • I am not able to prescribe Chinese medicine herbs but I would be happy to refer you to a practitioner that can assist you with this.

Clinic & Appointment Details:

7. How early should I arrive for my appointment?

   • For your Initial Consultation, you can arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment time to fill out the necessary paperwork and consent forms. For Follow Up Treatments, arriving 5 minutes before your appointment is perfectly ok.

8. How do I cancel or reschedule my treatment?

   • To cancel or reschedule an appointment, please contact me as soon as you decide to change your plans. Please note that I currently have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so any appointments cancelled or rescheduled within 24 hours of the original treatment time will result in a late cancellation fee of $40.

9. Do you accept insurance?

   • Yes, as a Registered Acupuncturist, my services are covered by most extended health benefits plans. I can provide you with an official receipt to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance company directly beforehand to understand your specific coverage for acupuncture.

10. What types of payment methods do you accept?

    • I accept cash, debit, e-transfer, and credit cards.
