Частые вопросы
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and cause minimal discomfort. You may feel a brief pinch on insertion, followed by sensations of warmth, heaviness, or tingling. Most patients find sessions deeply relaxing and often fall asleep.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute conditions may resolve in 3-5 sessions. Chronic conditions typically need 10-15 sessions for significant improvement, with maintenance treatments periodically. Your practitioner will advise based on your response.
Is TCM safe alongside my medications?
Generally yes, but inform your TCM doctor of all medications. Some herbs may interact with blood thinners or other drugs. Licensed practitioners are trained in contraindications and will adjust treatment accordingly.
What are the side effects?
Acupuncture side effects are minimal: occasional bruising, temporary soreness, or lightheadedness. Cupping leaves temporary marks that fade in 3-7 days. Serious complications are extremely rare with licensed practitioners.
