THE SHORT ANSWER

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to activate the nervous system, release natural pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins), and improve blood flow. Research supports its effectiveness for chronic pain, headaches, stress, insomnia, and digestive issues.

Your Questions About Acupuncture, Answered

New to acupuncture? You're not alone. Here are the questions patients ask most often before their first visit.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture feels. The needles used are extremely thin—much finer than those used for injections or blood draws. While some people feel a slight sensation when a needle is inserted, many feel little or nothing at all. Common sensations include warmth, tingling, heaviness, or a feeling of relaxation. Many patients become so relaxed during treatment that they fall asleep.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies depending on your condition, overall health, and treatment goals. Some patients notice improvement after their first visit, while chronic or long-standing conditions often benefit from a series of treatments. Ingri will discuss a personalized treatment plan and recommendations during your consultation.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance?

Many acupuncture treatments are covered by health insurance. CT Acupuncture Center accepts most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits before treatment.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is considered very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner using sterile, single-use needles. Ingri Boe-Wiegaard is a licensed and insured acupuncturist with more than 35 years of clinical experience. Patient safety, comfort, and personalized care are always top priorities.
