Frequently Asked Questions
How Does It Work?
Leslie spends time getting to know you and customizes an individualized treatment plan for your unique presentation. Hairlike, sterile, needles are inserted along specific points on the body that improve the flow of vital energy, or Qi, through the body. When the body is well and in health, this energy flows freely without obstruction.
When this energy is not flowing, illness, pain and disease occur. Each treatment is unique, addressing each person’s specific needs. Treatment restores the body’s natural harmony and well-being, thereby alleviating illness, pain and disease. Scientific research has shown that acupuncture can increase the body’s natural painkilling mechanisms, relieve contracted muscles, change the chemistry in the brain, down-regulate the nervous system and many more things.
Where will I be treated?
Leslie will determine these points according to to your symptoms. On average anywhere from 7-15 needles are inserted during a typical session. These points can be anywhere on the body as each session is tailored to your specific energy system.
How often do I need to come?
Patients report deep relaxation, some relief from their presenting symptoms and an improved sense of well being even after one session. It is recommended however that one undergo at least 6 weekly sessions to see the optimal results from treatment. Many patients fall in love with how they feel long after their presenting symptoms have been alleviated. They will often continue treatment on a bi-weekly or monthly basis to maintain balance and to stay well.
