Frequently asked questions
If you are someone who is on a journey towards better physical and mental health or someone who is suffering from a chronic, non life-threatening ailment and want to reduce their dependence on medications, then Acupuncture is one of the best holistic modalities you may try.
When done by a qualified, trained professional; acupuncture is extremely safe. We use sterilized, single-use, disposable needles to ensure your complete safety.
Most people who have had acupuncture would describe it as painless at certain points to feeling a sensation akin to an ant’s bite at others. We use very fine surgical steel needles that are not hollow like a hypodermic needle. You might experience a dull sensation or tingling near the insertion points during the treatment. This indicates “deqi”, assentation of arrival of Qi which usually subside in a minute or two.
We recommend you eat your meal 1.5-2 hours prior to the session. Please refrain from smoking or consuming any alcohol and wear comfortable loose clothing.
We aim to see improvements after each visit such as reduction in pain, increased range of motion/ease of movement and decreased sign and symptoms. Some may report slight soreness on the needled areas. This usually subsides within a few hours.
Rest, Relax and Recover. Drink water to flush out toxins. Perform stretches for the affected muscles. We also recommend Epsom salt/Rock salt warm baths (for muscle relaxation).
