  • Can acupuncture heal back pain?

    Yes, it can. It depends on the underlying cause. Your acupuncturist will want to examine your back and ask lots of questions to understand where the pain originates and will formulate a treatment plan for you. You should plan a minimum of 10 visits, but it may be more than that depending on what the acupuncture finds. READ MORE

  • What type of acupuncture is best for sciatica?

    I recommend finding an acupuncturist who has some orthopedic training. Most acupuncturists treat pain, and there isn't a "specific" kind of acupuncture for this. Ask about their training. READ MORE

  • What treatments can be done to fix lower back pain?

    It depends on the cause of your low back pain. Acupuncture works by increasing circulation so injuries can heal, and inflammation can be reduced. It also helps to address nerve pain such as sciatica that can be caused by low back issues. And it triggers your "feel good" hormones like endorphins to reduce pain. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture effective for sciatica?

    Yes, it is very effective! READ MORE

  • Can poor blood circulation be fixed?

    It depends. We look at the underlying cause as well as your symptoms to determine the correct approach. In the meantime, movement will help with blood circulation. Simply walking a little (especially after meals) will help. READ MORE

  • Can seasonal allergies be stopped?

    Yes, definitely! READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help disc hernia pain?

    Yes, definitely. READ MORE

  • How often should you get acupuncture for leg pain?

    It's best to get acupuncture 2-3 times a week for the first few weeks. This is best because it stimulates your natural pain killer hormones and they will stay elevated to relieve pain by treating multiple times per week. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for acupuncture to work on back pain?

    It all depends on how long you've had it, what the cause is, your overall health picture and the frequency of the treatment. If you've recently hurt it playing pickleball, there's no spine involvement and you are in good health, you could get lasting relief if you go 2-3 times a week, for 2 weeks. On the otherhand, if you've had the issue for years, you have degenerative disc disease and are in poor health, plan for slow , but steady progress over 6-10 weeks if you go at least 2 times a week. You may need additional maintenance visits periodically. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help with respiratory issues?

    Yes, definitely! I frequently treat asthma, congestion, shortness of breath and other respiratory symptoms. READ MORE

  • How often should you do acupuncture for anxiety?

    I recommend twice a week for 4 weeks and then once a week for the next 4 weeks. After that, reassess and if necessary continue weekly or move it to every other week. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture help nerve pain?

    Yes it does. READ MORE

  • How long does acupuncture take to work for sciatica?

    It all depends on the cause of your sciatica. If it's coming from pressure. READ MORE

  • How many acupuncture treatments are needed for migraines?

    Everyone is different and the number of treatments depends on what's going READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture or chiropractor better for migraines?

    The short answer is "it depends". If your neck pain is coming from a misalignment of your cervical spine, then chiropractic might be a better option. Those headaches typically originate from the back of the neck and you may feel them around the back of your head. However if the headaches are at your temples or frontal, acupuncture would be my choice. Hope that helps. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture good for dizziness?

    Yes it is very helpful for dizziness. Dizziness can occur for a number of reasons, and a full discussion of your health should uncover the underlying cause. Rawls Whittlesey, L. Ac.
