Acupuncture in the North Country

Common Questions

What is acupuncture?

A practice from Chinese medicine in which very fine needles are placed at specific points on the body. Practitioners often also offer cupping, moxibustion or herbal formulas. Acupuncture is a regulated health profession, and the requirements differ between New York and Ontario — ask a practitioner about their licensing and training.

What happens at a first appointment?

A first visit usually begins with a detailed intake about your health history before any needling. Tell the practitioner about medications and supplements you take, about pregnancy, and about any bleeding disorder or blood thinner. If you are being treated for a medical condition, it is worth discussing acupuncture with your doctor too.
