What does the treatment involve?
Your acupuncture treatment at Centennial Smiles begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our certified acupuncturists. During this conversation, we'll discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. We'll also work closely with your dental and skincare providers to ensure that your acupuncture treatments complement and enhance your overall care.
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 many experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being during their treatment.
Acupuncture sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, during which time 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. After your session, your acupuncturist will gently remove the needles and provide any necessary aftercare instructions.
