Acupuncture FAQs

It is normal to have some questions about acupuncture. Anything that involves needles is likely to cause some anxiety. At United Chiropractic Health Care Center in Ontario, we are here to answer your questions and help you find pain relief. Let’s take a look at some of the acupuncture questions that we run into.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

It is barely noticeable when the needles are inserted, and any discomfort is usually mild and temporary.

How Safe is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is considered a very safe form of medicine. The needles are sterilized, wrapped, and disposable. Acupuncturists have extensive training and experience. Acupuncture has a very low risk of adverse side effects.

How Does Acupuncture Help with Pain Relief?

Acupuncture helps regulate the body's Qi or energy force. Illnesses or conditions that cause your body to become out of balance can be treated with acupuncture. It's believed that acupuncture stimulates different parts of the brain and triggers the release of hormones.

How Long do the Needles Need to Stay in?

Many people are unsure of what to expect when they come in for treatment. The needles should stay inserted for at least 30 minutes once placed. We will advise you to listen to your body since each person is different.

How Often is Treatment Needed?

The frequency of your treatment depends on your level of pain and health conditions. Some conditions will do better with more treatments, while with others, it is not necessary.
