What it is
Acupuncture involves inserting very thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body. It's thought to influence pain signaling and blood flow in the treated area, and it's one of the tools we bring in when a patient's presentation calls for it.
What to expect
Most patients describe a dull ache or mild pressure at the needle site rather than sharp pain. Sessions are typically quiet and low-key — a chance for your body to settle while the needles are in place, usually for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Who it's for
We're most likely to suggest acupuncture for muscular tension, chronic low-grade pain, or as a lower-impact option for patients who want to avoid more aggressive manual therapy for a period.
How we use it
- Often paired with chiropractic adjustment, not used in isolation
- Reassessed after a handful of sessions to see if it's helping
- Adjusted or discontinued if it isn't moving the needle on your symptoms
