What Does Acupuncture Feel Like? |
Acupuncture needles are metal, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. Some people feel the initial pinch of the needle insertion while others do not, certain point are also more sensitive than others, such as those on the fingers and toes versus those on the abdomen. After needles are inserted it is common to feel a tingling, buzzing, tickling, heavy or pulling sensation at the needle site, this sensation is called "De Qi" and signifies the arrival of vital Qi to the area.

When Can I Expect Results? |
Most people will feel some effect from the treatment almost instantaneously, this effect can be as simple as relaxation to a more dramatic relief of pain or other symptoms. Every patient and every treatment is different, so there is no hard and fast rule as to what your results will be. Results can often be more dramatic in the first few treatments but fade away more quickly, this is why follow up treatments are key to acupuncture therapy. With follow up treatments we can ensure the benefits of your treatment will last longer and be more effective. Again, everyone is different and Kim will discuss your treatment protocol at your first appointment.

Is It Safe? |
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners in 1996. The FDA requires that sterile, nontoxic needles be used and that they be labeled for single use by qualified practitioners only.
Relatively few complications from the use of acupuncture have been reported to the FDA in light of the millions of people treated each year and the number of acupuncture needles used. |

NET, or Neuro-Emotional Technique is a mind-body technique that uses a methodology of finding and removing neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress patterns. Emotional responses are 'hard-wired' into the body. A stimulus happens, we respond, and then the body should return to normal. Occasionally, however, emotional trauma in the presence of a neurological or meridian deficit can cause a physio-pathological pattern the body that does not resolve itself. NET seeks to normalize this pattern by a physiological change; a result of a physical intervention that is made through cutaneous or spinal accesses to the nervous system.
Patients find this treatment to be particularly powerful, experience a release of emotion or a shift in consciousness that allows us to see our problems in a new light or release our attachments to a specific outcome, thus creating a greater sense of inner peace. It is safe, non-invasive and can even be performed on children. Click HERE to read research on the brain changes in cancer patients who received NET treatments. |
