What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session

During your acupuncture session at Redding Integrative Medicine, our acupuncturist will take the time to understand your specific health concerns and goals. They will then create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The session involves the following steps:

  1. Evaluation: The acupuncturist will evaluate your overall health and discuss your medical history.
  2. Needle insertion: Thin, sterile needles will be gently inserted into specific acupuncture points on your body. Most patients experience minimal discomfort or pain.
  3. Relaxation phase: You will then lie comfortably on a treatment table while the needles are left in place for a designated period, ranging from 15 to 40 minutes.
  4. Needle removal: After the required duration, the acupuncturist will remove the needles. There may be a slight sensation during the removal process, but it is generally painless.
