Is Acupuncture Safe?
Acupuncture is extremely safe. Red Door Acupuncture only uses sterile, single-use disposable needles. Acupuncture has relatively few possible side effects, which may include slight bleeding, soreness or bruising at the acupuncture site. The National Institute of Health (NIH) comments that 'occurrence of adverse events in the practice of acupuncture has been documented to be extremely low." |
What Can I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit will last 60-90 minutes. We will spend the first part of the treatment discussing your concerns and health history along with a physical exam as needed to form a treatment plan. Needles will then be inserted and remain inserted for 20-40minutes depending on the individual. Symptom relief may occur immediately, or in the few days following treatment. For complex, longstanding complaints, more then one treatment may be required before symptoms start to alleviate. |
What is the cost? What forms of payment do you take?
Initial evaluation and treatment: $100.00 Follow-up treatment: $80.00 Health savings accounts and flex spending accounts are accepted. All major credit cards are accepted. Ask your health insurance if they cover acupuncture. We are happy to work with you to use your insurance benefits. |
