"Aleksandra is AMAZING!!!! My spine was feeling like a tight painful bow string. When she was done and for the next several days there was no pain at all. What a relief. I highly recommend her acupuncture treatment." – Pete

How Does Acupuncture Work?
As a Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, I place fine, one-time use sterile needles in specific points throughout the body to stimulate it to return to its normal, healthy function. These needles communicate with your body’s nervous system and endocrine system. In a very gentle and effective way your body is being instructed to do its own healing.

More Information About Acupuncture
Is Acupuncture Painful?Everyone’s needling experience is different. Most patients can feel the initial insertion of the needles with minimal sensation and some do not feel anything at all. Once the needles are in, there should be no pain. If you feel hesitant in trying acupuncture, we can explore ear seeds, dermal needles, cupping and gua sha.
I may invite you to try a needle and see for yourself how gentle they can be. I take great care in being sensitive to the discomfort a patient may have around particular areas being treated and in following through on an approach that works for you.

How Often Should I Receive Treatment?
Acupuncture treatments work best as a succession of several treatments. Acute issues may be resolved in 1-3 treatments. More chronic conditions may take a few months to treat. If we are focused on a particular concern, one treatment a week may be optimal. Some patients come in for health maintenance once to twice a month.
For chronic conditions, I invite you to consider how long it took for your illness to develop. Sometimes it has been months or years. This length of time may be reflected in how long it will take to resolve your issue. The earlier you begin treatment, the more likely you are to prevent a short-term issue from turning into a long-term issue.
