What is an Acupuncture Treatment Like?

Do you feel nervous about your first acupuncture treatment? It is VERY common to feel uneasy about first time experiences.  At Many Lives we promise a safe gentle transition into the healing power of acupuncture.

The first treatment begins with a good conversation, we review your systems, take nine pulses and look at your tongue.  Your information is combined and a constitutional diagnosis is established.  The practitioner chooses acupuncture points to address your diagnosis, the points are stimulated to provide a relaxing treatment.  It feels like a deep nap, there is no pain.

For the Needle Curious…

Each needle is a tiny, single use, solid stainless steel medical instrument and is placed in safe areas on the body. We use between 8-15 needles for each treatment. You often will wear your clothing, because it is loose fitting. Each needle feels like a mosquito bite,  you rest for 25 minutes with the needles in place.

Everyone has their own experience. Your treatment is relaxing because you are resting with an eye pillow and a heat pack. Usually you will drift off into the deepest nap you have ever had.

It is bliss.
