What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy that seeks to restore energy flow throughout the body to relieve pain and stress. This energy, or Qi (“Chi”), circulates through the body along pathways known as meridians. Our Brewster, NY acupuncture therapists are trained to stimulate this energy and remove blocks so that the Qi can flow freely and energize all the areas of your body so you can thrive, physically and emotionally.

What is an Acupuncture Treatment Like?

Acupuncture treatments typically involve weekly or biweekly treatments, with a course consisting of up to 12 or more sessions. Your first visit with our Brewster, NY acupuncturists will include an exam and assessment of your current condition, which may include a questionnaire that you and your naturopath discuss. Our acupuncturists in our Brewster, NY office may ask you questions about your sleep, appetite, bowel movements, and current emotional state, all to more fully understand what areas of your life would benefit from treatment.

Once this assessment is complete, one of our Brewster, NY acupuncture specialists will instruct you to lie down, either face up or face down on the table and will insert small, single-use, disposable needles into your body where they have determined they will be most effective. They will then dim or shut off the lights, as you prefer, and will allow you to rest with the needles for approximately 20 minutes. This is your time to rest and feel the effects of the needles as they take hold.
