Questions
About Acupuncture
"Are the needles clean?"
At Complete Oriental Medical Care only sterile, disposable
needles are used to assure that there is no transmission
of diseases.
"Is acupuncture painful?"
Extremely fine needles are inserted with minimal stimulation and are left in
place for 5 to 30 minutes. Most clients are unaware of the needles. They
rest comfortably and experience a deep relaxation, often drifting off to
sleep and awaking rested and revitalized.
"How many treatments will I need?"
This depends on the severity and duration of each person's condition. Some
acute conditions require only one treatment.In general, 5 to 15 treatments
are adequate for the majority of problems.Some chronic ailments require ongoing
treatments.You can expect to have your health concern addressed in a direct
and timely manner.
"Do I have to receive acupuncture to be treated?"
No. Complete Oriental Medical Care also specializes in Oriental bodywork, a
combination of shiatsu and structural therapeutics. The acupuncture points
are worked with fingers and hands, in combination with soft tissue manipulation,
stretching and joint rotation techniques. Complete Oriental Medical Care
frequently uses Oriental bodywork in conjunction with acupuncture. For severe
internal disharmonies, however, acupuncture may be recommended, because it
works on a deeper level.
