Does Acupuncture hurt
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin made from a silver alloy, typically stainless steel. You may feel little or no discomfort as the process is typically painless. Once the
needles are placed you may feel different sensations including, warmth, pressure, or a heaviness or achy feeling. These energetic sensations differ from pain, you can expect
the feeling to be unfamiliar, but pleasant and comforting.
How many Treatments will I need
Every person is unique in their own condition, as a result the number of treatments will vary. The history, severity and nature of each patient’s issue, as well as the individual
themselves are all factors that are involved in how many treatments will be needed.
Is acupuncture safe
Yes! The needles are FDA approved, sterilized, individually packaged and single use. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years and is the
treatment of choice for over 25% of the world’s population.
What liniment does Lori use & recommend
Lori recommends a liniment by the name Zheng Gui Shui, which translates into “bone setting formula” or we call it by its memorable nickname, Evil Bone Water. So what is EBW? It is a liniment formula developed by Chinese Master Herbalists over 1000 years ago. It is an external use only analgesic that promotes good circulation, helps ease
pain, decreases inflammation, and strengthens connective tissues. As the name suggests, it can also help assist in the healing of broken bones and shorten the recovery time of fractures. Evil bone water is useful to have on hand, especially if you are a sports enthusiast or live with one. Its rapid deep-penetrating healing properties can provide relief for chronic muscle and bone issues, or healing bruises quickly. The biggest reason Lori suggests EBW is it actually helps heal the problem instead of just patching it up.
