Sam W. says, "Joanne has got the hands. She also has the intuition. She comes to my house and sets up amidst my clutter. It’s convenient not to have to drive immediately after the session because I’m always in that headspace after our sessions. I feel comfortable around Joanne and she can always find the exact spots where my body is holding tension. Do yourself a favor and book your next session with Joanne. She’s worth it!" Read more

Your acupuncture services questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does acupuncture cost near me?

Acupuncture costs $75 to $120 per session on average. The initial evaluation typically costs $100 to $180, including the first session. The total cost depends on the specific treatment type, location, and skill level of the acupuncture practitioner. Discounts are sometimes available when booking multiple sessions.

What is acupuncture and how does it work?

Acupuncture is the process of a doctor applying tiny pre-sterilized needles into the meridians of the patient's body to trigger a natural healing response. This holistic treatment is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine that does not interfere with any medications.

Acupuncture works with the whole nervous system to promote health of the full body and mind.

What is acupuncture good for?

Acupuncture is good for treating:

  • Chronic pain of all types
  • Muscle and body tissue injuries
  • Inflammation in the joints
  • infertility and menstrual problems
  • Obesity and indigestion
  • Sciatica
  • Migraines
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety and mood swings

What to expect from an acupuncture session?

An acupuncture session typically includes a discussion of which ailments to address in the session, after which you relax on a massage table. The doctor places the tiny, single-use needles where treatment is needed, and you lie still for 20 minutes to 1 hour according to the therapy type.

You may feel a bit sore in some areas after the session, but it passes within a few days as your body clears out any blockages that were released.

How do you prepare for an acupuncture session?

To prepare for an acupuncture session, follow these tips:

  • Don't go to the session on an empty stomach, but you should allow 1 hour between your last meal and the session.
  • Avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol for at least an hour before the appointment.
  • Wear loose and comfortable clothing.
  • Bring a list of current medications to show the acupuncturist.
  • Take a bathroom break before you enter the treatment room.

Is it safe to use acupuncture?

Acupuncture is safe when performed by a licensed practitioner who has completed a full, multi-year course in Traditional Chinese Medicine. All acupuncture treatments are non-toxic.

Still, you should exercise caution in choosing your specialist if you have:

  • A pacemaker
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Epilepsy
  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture typically doesn’t hurt or cause discomfort. Most people only experience a mild pricking sensation from the needles, after which the needles feel weightless. There is no discomfort when the specialist removes all the needles at the session's end.

You can tell the acupuncture practitioner if an area is more sensitive, and they will adjust the position or remove the needle to accommodate you.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance?

Some insurance policies do cover acupuncture. For example, Medicare began covering acupuncture visits to treat chronic lower back pain starting in 2020 as a pain-medication alternative. Contact your insurance company and ask how much your co-payment is and what they cover.

How do you find a good acupuncture specialist?

Browse through our listings on Thervo to find a good acupuncturist.

Use this helpful checklist to choose the right one for you:

  • Compare at least 3 fee schedules from practitioners with 5+ years of experience.
  • Read their reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Select insured and licensed professionals who've completed training in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
  • Avoid the cheapest treatments that suggest low-quality standards.
  • Get a copy of the terms of service and appointment cancellation policies.
  • Avoid making the final payment before receiving the treatment.

What questions do you ask an acupuncture practitioner?

  • How long have you been treating patients with acupuncture?
  • Where were you trained?
  • Have you helped other patients with my conditions before?
  • Can you recommend any dietary supplements to help my healing process?
  • How many sessions will I need to experience results for this condition?
  • Will I need to take a nap after this session?
  • How should I alert you if I experience any discomfort after you've left the room?
  • Do you use any other acupuncture treatment enhancements like aromatherapy or sound therapy?
  • Can you perform acupuncture on my pets?

The results were remarkable. Incredible healing crisis immediately after the first session, but after a few weeks, a profound shift occurred which hadn't happened with any other type of healing method over 20+ years.

Renee was amazing! I was working on a big career transition; healthcare to the corporate world and was feeling lost. She helped me identify my career goals, translate my experience into a new resume, and taught me how to communicate my skills for the job I wanted. She was patient and supportive and had lots of great tips and knowledge! I was able to successfully secure a new job in the field I wanted. I highly recommend Renee's services!

Working with Danielle was utterly life-changing, in every way. I cannot say enough good about her and this incredible work. When I first began hypnotherapy sessions with Danielle, I was at a real low point. I was depressed, broke, and feeling so lost I couldn't even articulate what I wanted from life. I had all but given up. But almost immediately, everything began to change. In a matter of weeks I went from being in a place of total frustration, anger, and helplessness to a state of peace, joy, and total empowerment. I was having incredible breakthroughs almost daily, and every single area of my life began to improve -- not bit by bit, but by leaps and bounds. I transformed in every possible way ... in my marriage, my motherhood, my career, and every aspect of myself. And, after more than a year of struggling financially and hitting every dead end, the perfect dream job fell right into my lap, effortlessly, after just a handful of sessions! But best of all, I feel like I am now free to be who I am meant to be. I am confident. I am powerful. I am successful, happy, loving, and loved. I rave to anyone who will listen that working with Danielle was truly the key to unlocking all of this for me. I am forever grateful for her work and her gifts. I couldn't have done this without her. She is incredible. I recommend her a thousand times over. Danielle and her work are absolutely phenomenal!

Kaya brings the instinctual and loving presence to her massage. I have received a massage from Kaya quite a few times, as she gave me a massage while we were at the Esalen Institute. Her energy is surreal, and can only be mirrored from immersing into the rhythmic energy of the waves crashing into the Big Sur shore. There are many places that offer massage in this world we live in, but very few offer the mind-body connection that Kaya can bring you to. She moves like a water fairy and can make you feel nurtured and cared for.
