Preparing for Your Session

Your acupuncture treatment at Centennial Smiles begins with a comprehensive consultation. One of our certified acupuncturists will speak with you about your health history, current concerns, and goals to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

After your session, your acupuncturist will gently remove the needles and provide any necessary aftercare instructions.

What to Expect During Your Session

Acupuncture sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, during which you’ll rest comfortably with the needles in place. Your acupuncturist may also incorporate additional techniques, such as heat therapy or massage, to enhance the effects of your treatment.

During your acupuncture session, you’ll relax in a comfortable, private treatment room. Your acupuncturist will carefully insert ultra-thin, sterile needles at specific points on your body, depending on your treatment goals. These needles are designed to stimulate specific energy pathways, or meridians, to promote healing, balance, and pain relief.

Most patients report little to no discomfort during the needle insertion process and often experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being during their treatment.
