How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and has been validated by modern science for its effectiveness in treating various conditions. Traditional practitioners focus on balancing the flow of energy, known as “qi” (pronounced “chee”), throughout the body. Some practitioners integrate Western medicine principles, using acupuncture to stimulate the body’s natural systems. At The Spine Institute, we take a balanced approach, combining these methods to provide the best possible care.
During acupuncture, fine steel needles are gently inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system. This technique is designed to alleviate various symptoms, including pain, and support overall wellness.

Recovery Time After Acupuncture
Acupuncture typically requires little to no recovery time, making it an appealing option for those seeking fast relief. You may experience minor discomfort or bruising at the needle insertion sites, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few hours or days. Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed after their session, while others may feel slightly tired or fatigued—both are normal responses to the treatment.
Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results
To maximize the benefits of your acupuncture session, it’s important to follow these simple aftercare guidelines:
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will help flush out toxins and support your body’s natural healing process.
- Rest and recover: Avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of the day to allow your body to fully absorb the effects of the treatment.
How Effective is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, particularly for those suffering from chronic pain. While more research is needed to fully understand how acupuncture works, many patients have found significant relief through regular treatments. Whether you’re managing pain or looking to improve your general wellness, acupuncture can be a powerful tool on your path to healing.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients experience little to no pain during acupuncture treatments. When the needles are inserted, you might feel a slight pinch or tingling sensation, but this is typically brief and not painful. Some people may notice a dull ache or tingling at the needle sites, but this is usually mild and subsides quickly. If at any point you experience discomfort, let your acupuncturist know, and they will adjust the needles as needed to ensure your comfort.
