Apex Acupuncture

During your first appointment, your acupuncturist will talk to you about your condition and review your intake form. Then, they’ll examine you for areas that’ll react to acupuncture. Your acupuncturist will gently tap the needles into points in your skin where it is called for. For example, a common point to help digestion is located below the knee. The acupuncture needles are sterile, disposable and as thin as a human hair. Your acupuncturist inserts needles at various depths, from a fraction of an inch to a couple of inches, depending on your pain level, sensitivity, and the location of the acupuncture point on the body. The needles stay in for a few minutes or as long as 20 minutes.
