Our clinic uses single use disposable needles.
They are thin (0.14mm to 0.18mm diameter, that is about the width of a human hair),and there is often no sensation at all when inserted.
With the needles in place, you may feel pressure, tingling, or aching.
This is a desired response, and usually does not last long.

All needles are sterilized, single-use, disposable needles manufactured in Japan.

Although we make proper adjustments by using different types of heat treatment technique for your conditions, moxibustion may leave a small scar or blister. Please report to the practitioner if you start to feel discomfort.

The frequency and number of treatments differ from person to person. For acute problems, such as acute lower back pain, sudden deafness, and facial nerve paralysis, twice or three times during the first week are recommended. As symptoms improve, subsequent visits are less frequent. For complex or long-standing chronic conditions, one treatment per week for several months may be recommended. This is true for those who would like to be treated for health maintenance purposes.
The expected number of treatments will be discussed during your initial visit.
