Probably, yes. The ANF will help you find a qualified acupuncturist who can answer all your questions including whether acupuncture is right for you.
During a session, you’ll typically lie down on a treatment table. The acupuncturist will insert thin needles into specific points on your body. You may feel a brief, mild sensation when the needles are inserted. The needles are usually left in place for 15-30 minutes. Many people find acupuncture relaxing.
The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people experience relief after a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment. Your acupuncturist will create a personalized treatment plan.
Side effects are generally mild and may include soreness, bruising, or minor bleeding at the needle insertion sites. In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur. It’s crucial to seek treatment from a licensed and qualified acupuncturist to minimize risks.
Look for a licensed acupuncturist who is certified by a recognized professional organization. You can also ask your doctor for a referral. Check online reviews and ask about the acupuncturist’s experience and qualifications.
