Does having acupuncture hurt?
Patients confuse pain with normal sensations from the needle insertions. A person can feel no sensation, heaviness, pressure or there may be a sudden sensation that travels away from the needle, these are all normal and any sensation is gone in a matter of seconds. If after 5 seconds a needle is bothering the patient I adjust the needle or take it out. READ MORE

How does acupuncture help in treating infertility?
I first start with a history of both parties, so I can get to know you and try to establish any patterns. I also ask that you provide any history and lab work done by western medical doctors. I look at your occupation and home life and evaluate how much stress and anxiety is present. I then check your tongue and pulse and palpate several points looking for tenderness. From here we start the process of balancing the organ systems, regulating the menstrual cycle, balancing hormones and reducing any stress. This process is done through acupuncture and herbal formulas over a course of 90 days. READ MORE
