What are acupuncture treatments like?
On your first visit, the provider will review your medical history and the history of your current condition. During the acupuncture treatment, sterile, disposable needles are painlessly inserted at precise acupuncture points to balance the circulation of energy in the body. Most people find the treatments deeply relaxing and refreshing.
