What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years to promote healing and well-being. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and balance the body’s natural systems. Acupuncture is known to be effective for a wide range of conditions, including pain management, stress reduction, digestive issues, fertility, and more. By addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of health issues, acupuncture helps restore harmony and balance within the body.
What to Expect
Your acupuncture journey at Nurturing Generations begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this initial session, we will discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals. Our practitioners will then develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include acupuncture, dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and other supportive therapies.
Each acupuncture session is typically 30-60 minutes long. You will lie comfortably while the acupuncturist carefully inserts the needles. Most patients find the experience relaxing and rejuvenating, often experiencing a sense of calm during and after the treatment.

Does Acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles differ significantly when compared to the hypodermic needles used to draw blood or inject medications. Acupuncture needles are much smaller in diameter, extremely fine, and are no thicker than a single piece of human hair.
For most patients, the needles produce little or no sensation upon insertion and most patients would describe acupuncture as virtually painless. While everyone experiences acupuncture differently, some individuals may experience a tingling, heavy, or achy feeling that subsides after insertion.
Patients often report acupuncture as a very relaxing experience and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatment. Needles are typically retained on average for 20 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
Acupuncture is proven to have a cumulative effect. Therefore, in order to achieve the best results, it is recommended to receive a course of treatments similar to chiropractics and physical therapy sessions.
The number of treatments required varies by person, and often depends on the type of condition the patient suffers from, whether the condition is chronic or acute, and the patient’s overall health, age, and well-being.
Acute conditions require less time and frequency of treatment, while long standing disorders or chronic health issues may take more time, requiring follow-up sessions to further the healing process. Most patients will notice improvement after one to six treatments. Often a patient will be seen once or twice weekly in the beginning to obtain optimal results and decrease to once a week or once every other week. Maintenance or preventative treatments aim at seeing the patient every two to four weeks.
What can I expect during my first visit?
During the initial visit, a comprehensive health history and detailed intake will be completed in order to assess your overall condition.
Generally, the first visit will take approximately 60 minutes, with subsequent visits taking 45min to 1 hour. Treatments are highly individualized in order to meet each patient’s medical needs. Please wear loose clothing and eat a small snack or meal before your treatment. Please bring a list of current medications you are taking.
