Acupuncture
Restore Balance. Support Wellness. Enhance Vitality.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely practiced therapeutic modalities in the world, developed over thousands of years as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At RADIANCE, acupuncture is used to support your body’s natural regulatory mechanisms, encourage balance, and promote a sense of wellbeing.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points are selected based on traditional Chinese Medicine principles to influence the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee") — the body’s vital energy — and help restore internal balance.
The needles are very fine, and most people experience little to no discomfort — often likened to a brief pinch or a mild ant bite. Acupuncture is commonly used to support circulation, reduce muscle tension, and foster relaxation. It may be beneficial for people experiencing a wide range of health concerns, including physical discomfort and emotional tension.
What To Expect In Your Appointment
When you come in for acupuncture, you’ll be asked about your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle. This helps guide a tailored treatment approach.
During the session, you’ll rest comfortably on a treatment table while fine needles are gently inserted. Most people find the process calming — and many even fall asleep. Afterward, people often report a sense of relaxation, mental clarity, or relief.
Sessions typically last between 45 and 60 minutes. A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your individual needs.
