FAQ

Common Questions

Acupuncture needles are extremely fine — much thinner than hypodermic needles. Most patients feel little to no pain. You may feel a slight tingling, warmth, or pressure sensation at the needle sites, which is actually a sign of the healing response being activated.

It varies based on your condition, its duration, and your body's response. Acute conditions often improve quickly in 1–3 sessions. Chronic issues may require a longer course of treatment. Patty will discuss a recommended plan during your initial consultation.

Yes. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are well-suited to children and have been used safely for thousands of years. Boulder Acupuncture Clinic specializes in family medicine and pediatrics, providing effective, gentle care tailored to young patients.

Your first visit includes a thorough health intake — discussing your medical history, current health concerns, lifestyle, and goals. Patty will then perform a traditional Chinese medicine assessment and often begins treatment during the same appointment. Plan for 60–90 minutes.

Absolutely. Chinese medicine works excellently as a complementary therapy alongside Western medicine. Many patients use acupuncture to support recovery, manage side effects of medication, or enhance overall well-being while continuing conventional care.
