Acupuncture FAQ

  • What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved over 2,500 years to become a completely natural and holistic medical system. The modality of acupuncture involves insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin to activate specific acu-points on the body. This activates and enhances the body's natural healing ability restoring systemically the physical and emotional health of the person.

  • Is acupuncture safe? Acupuncture is extremely safe, virtually painless and an effective way to treat many of today's health disorders.

  • Does acupuncture hurt? Virtually painless! This is a topic of conversation that varies person to person much like many things in life. The sensation from the needle insertion felt by patients can be a slight pinch, but most people feel no pain at all. Remember that acupuncture needles are about as tiny as a human hair. You could fit 10 or more acupuncture needles inside the barrel of a hypodermic needle used to draw blood by nurses.

  • Will my insurance cover acupuncture treatment? I will start by saying that insurance coverage varies from state to state and from insurance plan to insurance plan but our office accepts most PPO plans. At our office, our staff will be more than happy to verify your coverage and explain to you all of the insurance benefits available to you on your plan. 

  • How much does it cost? Seeing an acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medical practitioner is much like seeing any other medical physician. Rates vary depending upon what services are performed. Especially during these tough economic times, we understand how hard it is for people to afford high quality health care. That is why at FLOW we are committed to working with you no matter what your budget for medical cost allows. Contact us today for a FREE 15-minute phone consultation and find out if our office is right for you!

  • What goes on during an acupuncture visit and what should I expect? Please visit our Appointment page to learn what to expect when visiting our offices.
  • How many treatments will I need? This question varies person to person since no one exactly the same. Immediate relief of symptoms may occur after a visit is experience by some people. While others may take weeks, months, even years to achieve results. Chronic conditions generally take longer to resolve than acute conditions. A good rule of thumb is to plan on a minimum of 1 month to see significant changes.
  • How should I prepare for my visits?  Please visit our Appointment page to learn how to prepare for your visits to our offices.
  • What type of schooling do acupuncturists get? Our practitioners, as well as all traditional Chinese medical practitioners, receive 4 years of extensive and comprehensive graduate training at nationally certified schools. Our practitioners have met and passed all California state and National Board examinations and guidelines.
