What to Expect from an Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 2,000 years, has gained increasing popularity in recent decades. This holistic practice involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote overall well-being. At Holistic Health Clinic in Beaverton, OR, we provide acupuncture to relieve any pain you may be experiencing and help you feel your best. Before visiting us, learn about what to expect during your appointment below:

What Happens During an Acupuncture Session?

Your first acupuncture appointment will involve a comprehensive consultation with our licensed acupuncturists. We will discuss your health history, current concerns, and desired outcomes with you. This information helps us tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.

The actual treatment takes place in a calm and relaxing environment. You'll comfortably lie on a padded table while our acupuncturists insert sterile, hair-thin needles at designated points in the body. The needles are virtually painless, however, you might feel a mild tingling or dull ache, which are indicators of the treatment working.

The needles typically remain inserted for 15-20 minutes, allowing you to rest and unwind. You can also request to have some music playing during the treatment or enjoy your session in peace and quiet.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Following your acupuncture session, you may experience a deep sense of relaxation and improved well-being. Some individuals report immediate pain relief, while others notice a gradual reduction in symptoms over subsequent sessions. Depending on your condition and treatment goals, our acupuncturists will recommend a personalized treatment frequency and duration.

Acupuncture for More Than Just Pain Relief
