Is Acupuncture Painful?

Hesitation is completely natural if you are nervous about needles. However, the honest answer is that for the vast majority of our clients, acupuncture isn't painful at all. In fact, many are surprised by just how deeply relaxing an acupuncture sessions feels; it is common for patients to fall into a "needle nap" during their session.

Other Treatments That Support Your Healing

Ear Acupuncture for Calm & Pain Relief

Auricular acupuncture focuses on specific points on the ear to support the nervous system. Techniques such as NADA and Battlefield Acupuncture may be used to help reduce stress, anxiety, improve sleep, and support pain management.

Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Therapy

Sports massage and soft tissue therapy are other treatments we offer to help ease muscular tension, improve mobility, and support recovery from injury or ongoing physical strain.


Cupping Therapy to Release Tension & Improve Circulation

Cupping therapy is a traditional treatment that uses gentle suction to release tight muscles, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing response.
