If you are feeling some anxiety because of the needles involved with acupuncture, there are a few things we can do to try and help you relax during your treatment. We do our best to make our office the most relaxing environment possible, so you can feel comfort during your treatment. We make sure to play serene music and often light candles in our office to promote peacefulness. Often, the doctor will talk to you as he inserts the needles. Enjoying light conversation can help to keep your mind off the acupuncture.

Relaxation Techniques

Another technique that can help is the usage of a small massage device. The sensations can help relax your body and mind as the needles are inserted.

Some patients also like when we tap or gently press the part of the skin where the needle will go right before insertion.
