facilitate the body to promote natural healing and improve its
functioning.
Acupuncturists have used this noninvasive medical system to
diagnose and help millions of people get well and stay
healthy. Fine, sterile needles are inserted at specific acupoints
on the body to activate the body’s Qi and promote natural healing by enhancing intrinsic recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health.
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.

Thomas Edison once said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Le agrees whole-heartedly with Mr. Edison. Wellness is not only the absence of ailments, but it also requires the balance of mind and body. In today’s busy world, it is important to take time to care for yourself. We need to let the body heal naturally, not by chemical means.

Questions & Answers
What is acupuncture and how does it work?
During the initial exam a full health history will be taken. Questions will be asked regarding symptoms, health and lifestyle. Your acupuncturist also may check pulses and your tongue and may conduct a physical exam. This information is then organized to create a complete, accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of where Qi has become blocked or imbalanced.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments will vary from person to person. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take weeks or even months to achieve results. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones. Treatment frequency depends on a variety of factors: your constitution, the severity and duration of the problem and the quality and quantity of your Qi. An acupuncturist may suggest one or two treatments per week, monthly visits for health maintenance or seasonal “tune-ups.”
What should I expect during treatment?
Where the acupuncture needle has been inserted, you may experience a vague numbness, heaviness, tingling or dull ache. Sometimes people experience a sensation or energy spreading and moving around the needle. This is called the “Qi sensation.” All these reactions are good and a sign that the treatment is working. After treatment, you may feel energized or may experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
Do the needles hurt and how deep do they go?
People experience acupuncture needling differently. Some people feel a little pain as the needles are inserted, but most people feel no pain at all. The depth of the insertion varies. Typically, needles are inserted at depths ranging from 1/8” to ½”.
How safe is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is an all natural, drug-free therapy, yielding no side effects except feelings of relaxation and well-being. There is
little danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are sterile, used once, and then discarded.
Is acupuncture safe for children?
Yes! In some instances children actually respond more quickly than adults. If your child has an aversion to needles, acupressure/massage or the a points are used.
