What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a practice from traditional East Asian medicine in which fine needles are placed at specific points on the body. Many patients use it to support pain relief, stress management, restful sleep, and overall well-being. Dan explains each point he chooses and why, so you understand what is happening during treatment. Sensations vary from person to person, and most patients describe a calm, relaxed feeling afterward.

A Whole-Body Approach to Your Care

Acupuncture looks at how different systems of the body affect one another. Pain can influence sleep, stress can affect digestion, and a recent injury can change how you move for months. Dan takes time to understand these connections during your first visit. He considers your health history, daily habits, and the specific symptoms you want to address, then creates a plan that fits your life. Follow-up visits allow Dan to track your progress and adjust the approach as your body responds.

Acupuncture Questions Patients Ask

  • What should I wear to my appointment?

    Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms, legs, back, or abdomen, depending on your concern. Dan will provide a treatment table and draping for your comfort.

  • Do I need to stop taking my medications?

    No. Please keep taking your prescribed medications as directed by your doctor. Let Dan know about everything you take, including supplements, so he can plan treatment safely.

  • Can acupuncture be combined with other care?

    Yes. Many patients use acupuncture alongside physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, or their regular medical treatment. Share your current care plan with Dan so he can coordinate with it.

  • How many visits will I need?

    That depends on your health goals, how long you have had the concern, and how your body responds. Dan will recommend a starting plan at your first visit and reassess your progress at follow-up appointments.
