Frequently Asked Questions
We put together a list of frequently asked questions about acupuncture. Please contact us at (425) 395-4097 or drmonee@rootedflow-wellness.com should you have other questions.
What does acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture treats a wide variety of conditions from health concerns to aesthetic interests. Click here for a complete list of conditions that the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture as an effective treatment.
Does acupuncture hurt? What does it feel like?
Many people fear needles for one reason or another, and this fear is a common reason why they are yet to receive acupuncture. The average diameter of an acupuncture needle is about 10 times smaller than a hypodermic needle (used for injections or to draw blood) and about 2 times larger than the diameter of human hair. Because of this, acupuncture produces no pain or discomfort. Common sensations felt at the site of needle insertion are dull, heavy, or achy sensations, warmth, tingling, muscle twitches, or electrical sensations. Some points may feel more sensitive than others, and commonly you will not feel anything at all. You do not want to feel anything sharp or stabbing. If this is the case, notify your practitioner who will either adjust or remove the needle.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
For all sessions please wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be rolled up to your elbows and knees. If you are coming in for a facial rejuvenation session, please ensure your top allows for easy accessibility to your neck and collarbone.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions will vary from person to person depending on a variety of factors: the condition you are seeking treatment for, your constitution, how long the condition has been an issue, and the severity of the condition. Typically treatment plans start with weekly or twice-a-week sessions for 4-8 weeks before reassessment. Chronic conditions generally take longer to resolve than acute conditions. Some people experience results immediately, others experience them over a period of time.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-based practice and currently do not accept insurance at Rooted Flow Wellness.
