FAQ
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
While it can cause sensations, acupuncture rarely causes pain. Most people are surprised at how comfortable acupuncture needles are, and most patients say they don’t feel the needles at all.
Occasionally, you may feel a small pinch upon insertion, but the sensation usually subsides within a few seconds. You may also notice a dull ache during your treatment, which is a sign that stagnant qi is pushing through a blockage.
Needles are removed immediately if they’re ever uncomfortable.
What Should I Wear to Acupuncture?
Whenever possible, treatments are given fully clothed. Loose, comfortable clothing is best for acupuncture and bodywork treatments.
How Can Coaching Help Me?
Coaching helps you gain clarity on your health and personal goals, and empowers you with a clear, step-by step, holistic plan to help you reach those goals.
Once you feel better, you’re able to show up for life the way you want to, and that’s what Katerina can help you do.
How Many Acupuncture Treatments Do I Need Before I See Results?
The amount of treatments you needs depends on what you’re trying to resolve.
