How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture is a safe, time-tested therapy that involves gently inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points along the body’s energy pathways. This precise stimulation helps:
Restore balance and energy flow
Improve circulation and oxygen delivery
Activate the body’s natural healing response
For enhanced results, we often pair acupuncture with electroacupuncture or laser therapy, amplifying its ability to relieve pain and promote recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that uses very fine, hair-thin needles placed at specific points on the body. These points help balance energy, improve blood flow, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. In modern medicine, research shows acupuncture can affect the nervous system, release endorphins, and reduce inflammation.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people are surprised to find that acupuncture does not hurt. The needles are so thin that many patients barely feel them. Some describe a mild tingling, warmth, or relaxation sensation.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, acupuncture is very safe when performed by a trained professional. We use sterile, single-use needles, and side effects are rare. The most common experience is deep relaxation during and after treatment.
Can acupuncture help with headaches and migraines?
Yes. Many patients in Akron, Ohio, use acupuncture for headache and migraine relief. Research shows acupuncture may decrease the frequency and intensity of headaches by relaxing muscles, improving circulation, and balancing stress-related hormones.
How does acupuncture support fertility?
Acupuncture may help regulate menstrual cycles, balance hormones, and increase blood flow to the reproductive organs. Many women and men turn to acupuncture to improve fertility naturally or alongside medical treatments.
Can acupuncture help with hormonal imbalances?
Yes. Acupuncture can support issues such as irregular cycles, hot flashes, thyroid imbalance, and stress-related hormonal shifts. By balancing the body’s energy and nervous system, it helps regulate hormone function.
What conditions can acupuncture help with?
Common reasons people in Akron seek acupuncture include:
- Chronic pain (neck, back, knees, arthritis)
- Neuropathy and nerve pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Stress, anxiety, and insomnia
- Fertility and hormonal issues
- Digestive problems
- Seizures
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on your condition. Some patients notice improvement after 1–2 visits, while others may need a series of treatments for long-term results.
What should I expect at my first acupuncture visit?
During your first visit, we’ll discuss your health history and concerns. You’ll then relax on a treatment table while very fine needles are gently placed. Most patients find the experience calming, and many even fall asleep.
Can acupuncture be used alongside regular medical care?
Yes. Acupuncture can be safely combined with traditional medical treatments. Many patients in Akron use it as part of an integrative approach to support overall wellness and healing.
