FAQs

What is acupuncture?


Acupuncture is a catalyst for healing the body. Embracing Daoism principles, this very ancient system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been in practice for more than 2000 years. Acupuncture practitioners insert extremely fine, disposable needles with rounded tips just below the surface of the skin. This stimulates Qi, the body's cyclic energy flow (pronounced "chi" or "chee"). By balancing and redirecting Qi, an acupuncture practitioner encourages the body's nature capacity for self-healing. In turn, this improves the way the body functions.

How does acupuncture work?

Qi flows through the body along channels known as "meridians". The body contains nearly 300 different acupuncture points located along these meridians. Modern science has actually shown that the body givers off slight electrical charges at these points. An imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi at these points can cause many ailments that can be caused by stress, anxiety, anger, fear, poor nutrition, and even changes in the weather. Acupuncturists concentrate on stimulating the body's energy flow by unblocking these meridians. By restoring Qi balance and flow, acupuncture allows the body to heal itself naturally, rather than through the more invasive use of synthetic drugs and injections via the bloodstream.

What conditions does acupuncture treat?


Acupuncture can treat a variety of conditions. It can affect blood pressure, circulation, the heart's rhythm and stroke volume. It can also regulate the secretion of gastric acid hormones nd stimulate the production of red and white blood cells. Acupuncture has even been known to lower cholesterol. Through the stimulation of Qi, acupuncture practitioners can restore balance to the body's internal energy system, promoting energy, good health and healing. Here are some common conditions we usually treat, if your specific condition is not mentioned on our website, please feel free to give us a call and our practitioner can tell you if we can treat it.

does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture is generally a painless and relaxing experience for most people. The needles used in acupuncture are extremely thin, much finer than those used for injections or blood draws, so the sensation is very different. You may feel a slight pinch or tingling when the needle is inserted, but any discomfort is usually brief and minimal. Once the needles are in place, many patients report feeling a sense of calm or a mild, warming sensation at the points being treated.
Our practitioners at Balance Art Acupuncture McLean are skilled in gentle needling techniques, ensuring that your experience is as comfortable as possible. If you feel any discomfort during the session, please let us know so we can adjust the treatment to suit your sensitivity. We are committed to making sure you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your session.

does acupuncture have side effects?

Acupuncture is a natural and organic treatment that is generally very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. Most patients experience minimal to no side effects. The most common side effects, if any, include slight bruising, mild soreness, or a tingling sensation at the needle sites, which usually resolve within a day or two.
Since acupuncture is a drug-free therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, it avoids the chemical side effects often associated with medications. Some patients may feel relaxed or a bit tired after a session, which is a normal response as the body adjusts and begins to heal. These effects are temporary and typically seen as part of the healing process.

how often should i have acupuncture?

The frequency of acupuncture treatments depends on your individual health condition, treatment goals, and how your body responds to the therapy. For acute issues, such as pain or injury, we may recommend more frequent sessions—typically 1 to 3 times a week until significant improvement is achieved. As your symptoms improve, the frequency can be reduced to weekly or biweekly sessions.For chronic conditions or general wellness, acupuncture is often most effective when done on a regular basis, even if you’re not experiencing severe symptoms. Many patients benefit from monthly maintenance sessions to help keep their body balanced, manage stress, and prevent future health problems.
At Balance Art Acupuncture McLean, we will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and adjust the frequency as your condition evolves. Your practitioner will guide you on what works best for your body to achieve optimal results.
