Vital Changes Flower Outline

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture needles are very thin and flexible, about the size of a human hair. Some people feel a slight ache when the needle is inserted; however, most patients feel no sensation at all. Anything that is felt is usually mild and subsides quickly after insertion. Most acupuncture patients find the treatments to be very relaxing and pleasurable often leading to sleep during the treatment.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is an extremely safe form of health care. Licensed acupuncturists are required by law to be certified in Clean Needle Technique. At Vital Changes Acupuncture and Nutrition, Diane uses only pre-sterilized, individually packaged and disposable needles. There is no danger of infection with acupuncture.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. Some patients begin to see favorable results after only one or two treatments. Most health problems, however, take several treatments to resolve and many require ten or more sessions to see significant results. In general, chronic conditions require more treatments than acute conditions.

Diane is so caring and gentle. She takes her time and is concerned that I am ok and comfortable at all times. I really enjoy my weekly visits with her and look forward to them. Her energy level is so peaceful and I really feel that helps in the process of healing. I highly recommend you go and see her. Even if you've never had Acupuncture, she will take care of you! - Amaris M.
My shoulder issues include joint deterioration, tendonitis, arthritis and a labrum tear. I couldn’t perform daily activities without pain and sleeping was extremely difficult. . . After three acupuncture sessions with Diane my shoulders feels 70% better and I can finally sleep and perform daily activities again. - Anonymous
I’m a 65 year old man who has never seen an acupuncturist. Before seeing Diane, I suffered occasionally with severe sciatica. . . One treatment with Diane and I experienced complete relief by the next morning. - Anonymous
I enjoy a very active lifestyle. Diane’s Orthopedic acupuncture treatments and the occasional kinesio taping not only get me back to peak performance quickly, they allow me to maintain and continue the activities I enjoy. - Seana W.
