How do I know if I need acupuncture?

I have been itching to answer this question for awhile now on a platform that anyone can get to and get a proper answer to. This is another question i get a lot. And its a great question because acupuncture isn’t yet a fully integrated part of our western lives. First and foremost you “need” acupuncture if you simply “want” acupuncture. Why not!? You’ve heard great things about it and you’re intrigued. Go for it. Look up a practitioner close to, or in an area of your city you enjoy or someone who has great reviews, or a great website. Whoever you vibe with- just go for it!Even if you don’t think you have anything “wrong” with you or any symptom to report. Acupuncture will benefit your health and improve your immediate sense of well being. Secondly, you need acupuncture if you DO have any symptom that you feel is: abnormal, concerning, or painful. To be more specific for this broad answer this could look like hot flashes, shoulder pain, menstrual irregularities, digestive woes, chronic fatigue, chronic anger, anxiety or stress, inability to sleep well, headaches, nerve pain, and the list goes on and on. If you have a specific question about if your particular concern warrants an acupuncture treatment feel free to email me or set up a complimentary 15 minute “meet the practitioner” session with me. Having an acupuncturist you trust, someone just a dial away means always having an empathetic, compassionate healer who welcomes you into their clinic to make sure that you are well whenever you are experiencing stress, illness, or just the normal highs and lows of life. An acupuncturist is here for you for the duration of your treatment plan and for the rest of your life as needed whenever needed. Even more it is my pride to be able to help connect patients with other healing modalities if something arises that I am not best suited to treat. Share this with someone you know that has been wondering this same question and don’t hesitate to email me with an more questions you might have.
