Acupuncture is very much in vogue these days. The ancient practice has been around for centuries and traces its origins to civilizations in modern-day China, Egypt, and other far-reaching corners of the world. In addition to enjoying a long trajectory, acupuncture boasts of impressive health improvements, but unfortunately this form of alternative medicine can be too expensive for many people. In this blog post, we tell you about some very affordable options in the Los Angeles area.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a medicinal practice that consists of inserting hair-thin needles into the skin for the purpose of stimulating the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, tissues, and surrounding organs. This, in turn, can help alleviate pain and illnesses such as high blood pressure, arthritis, migraines, insomnia, strokes, and many, many other things.
What to expect on the day of your appointment
People have many misconceptions about acupuncture and often don’t know what to expect. For example, many people mistakenly believe that acupuncture is painful. After all, you are being poked by needles, right? Actually, acupuncture is fairly painless. The sensation you will feel can actually be pleasurable, and our technicians are trained skillfully so as not to cause any discomfort or injury.
Most first sessions last sometime between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on your specific needs.
