Why Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the longest living forms of medicine in the world. Used for thousands of years in China and the rest of East Asia, acupuncture has become available to most Americans in just the last four decades.
Although acupuncture and herbal medicine are considered complementary/alternative therapies in the U.S., hundreds of generations of clinical results illuminate the power and efficacy of these medical modalities.
Ken Berry, LAc, Scott Rowe, LAc, and Mo Parker, LAc use acupuncture and herbal medicine to treat many common ailments and to promote wellness. The foundation of treatment is traditional Chinese medicine, which views health as a harmonious balance of an individual's body, mind, and spirit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture hurt? What does it feel like?
Acupuncture treatments are usually very relaxing, even blissful. Acupuncture needles feel nothing at all like getting a shot. They are hair-thin, and you may not even notice the insertion. Once a needle has been inserted, people often feel some sensation: warmth, tingling, or a light buzzing.
How quickly does it work? How many treatments do I need?
The answer to these questions varies greatly from person to person. If your primary concern is acute, and you are generally very healthy, only one or two treatments may be necessary. If your problem is long-standing, resolution may take several months of regular treatment. Usually, six to ten weekly or bi-weekly visits comprise a full course of treatment. Many patients experience a noticeable improvement within three treatments.
