Leanne Mitchell's Expert Contributions
How are you supposed to feel after acupuncture?
Thank you for your inquiry! Typically, people will feel relaxed and more clear headed. I encourage patients to drink a lot of water after their treatment and if they feel sleepy or want to take a nap, that can be very normal and for them to honor that. Warmly, Leanne Mitchell, Dipl. L.Ac, MAOM, LMT, ES READ MORE
Can acupuncture loosen tight muscles in neck?
Absolutely! READ MORE
How are acupuncture and chiropractic care similar?
Thank you for your inquiry. Chiropractic care and Acupuncture are very different and both wonderful modalities. Acupuncture utilizes fine sterile needles placed in specific points of the body to help regulate the bodies ability to maintain optimal health, such as reduce stress, relieve pain, regulate hormones, minimize or resolve chronic headaches, relieve arthritis pain, etc. Chiropractic care uses gentle manipulations along the spine to maintain optimal health and wellness. Wishing you a lifetime of joy and perfect health. READ MORE
How long do the benefits of an acupuncture session last for?
Hi, Thank you for your inquiry. In my office, the first visit can last up to 1.5 hours, and follow-ups anywhere between 45-60 minutes. Warm regards, AWPB READ MORE
What should I do after my first acupuncture session?
Hi, Thank you for your inquiry. Everyone is different with how they respond to acupuncture treatments. Some people get a surge of energy and some people, I would say most, feel very relaxed and calm with a clear mind. Typically, I recommend that people drink a lot of water, because on a cellular level, acupuncture creates a healing response that can include mild detoxification, so drinking water can help cleanse the tissue and also support more relaxation. Lastly, most patients express that they sleep really well the night they have acupuncture, or they need a nap when they get home. Again, everyone is different. Wishing you a lifetime of perfect health and happiness. READ MORE
Should you rest after acupuncture?
Thank you for your inquiry. Most people can resume their normal day of activities, often feeling more relaxed and at ease.

L.Ac, MAOM, LMT, ES READ MORE

Is it normal to feel dizzy after acupuncture?
Thank you for your question. Everyone has different experiences with acupuncture. It is my clinical experience that when people feel dizzy after a treatment it typically only lasts a few moments and can be from being either hungry or dehydrated and/or the point selection of the treatment may have moved the qi (the energy within the body that is activated by the acupuncture needles to nourish the organs and tissues). If this lasts longer than a few hours I would suggest you connect with your acupuncturists. There shouldn't be any area for concern, but your acupuncturist would likely want to know that you had this experience to best advise you. Thanks again for the question. Warm regards, Leanne Mitchell READ MORE
Can acupuncture ease the pain of a broken heart?
Thank you for your inquiry! A broken heart can lead to a lot of stress, lack of motivation, sleep challenges, and even sometimes muscle pain and fatigue. All of those conditions are treatable through acupuncture! I highly recommend you give acupuncture a try to see how you feel so that you can transition from this broken heart to a place of more joy and inspiration. Warm regards, READ MORE
Where are acupuncture needles placed for migraines?
Thank you for your question. Every practitioner may approach this treatment differently based on their extended study in the field of acupuncture and which style of acupuncture they study. It is my clinical experience that some of the most effective points I use for migraines with patients are in the hands and feet. Please note that there is much more to treat and diagnose with each patient as to what is the root cause of the headaches so other points likely would be addressed, too. I hope this is helpful. READ MORE
Does acupuncture help with depression?
Thank you for your question! I can’t say enough about acupuncture and its effect on a person's emotional wellness. Clinically, I have seen so many people get re-inspired, more energy, better sleep (waking up feeling more rested), and their overall health improving. Acupuncture is safe, non-invasive, and has been around for thousands of years. I highly recommend you give it a try! READ MORE
Do you need a diagnosis to get acupuncture?
Thank you for your inquiry. No, you do not necessarily need a diagnosis to begin acupuncture treatments. If you have an insurance company that covers acupuncture, they may require you to get a diagnosis from your primary medical doctor. However, that is not necessarily always the case. Thank you. READ MORE
When should you get acupuncture for fertility?
Thank you for your inquiry! When addressing fertility acupuncture, we take a deep look at your fertility journey. Questions around your menstrual cycle are very important to discern when and how to move forward with acupuncture. There is no specific time in the menstrual cycle that is more important than the other to start your treatments. However, typically we see patients one to two times per week during their monthly cycle. Warm regards, Leanne READ MORE
