Treatments

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine (about the width of a human hair), sterile, disposable needles at specific points on the body. Using needles at these points activates the body's energy or ki (pronounced "key" or "chee"), releasing blockages to promote healing.

Other methods used to activate ki are:

  • Moxibustion, which involves burning an herbal substance on or near acupuncture points;
  • Certain forms of massage, including acupressure, to strongly invigorate points along the relevant acupuncture channels. An acupuncture treatment may incorporate moxibustion and/or massage.
  • Additionally, a technique called cupping, whereby glass suction cups are applied to certain areas of the body, may be utilized as part of an acupuncture treatment. Small children and patients who are afraid of needles can receive treatments without the use of needles in some cases.
  • Also, it is sometimes appropriate to learn a few simple ki cultivation exercises to do at home to extend the effectiveness of the in-office treatments.

 

When you have an acupuncture treatment at Acupuncture Works, you may be surprised that:

  • Acupuncture is very relaxing;
  • The needles do not hurt;
  • The treatments work!

About Cancellations and Missed Appointments:  Because no two patients are booked at the same appointment start times at Acupuncture Works, we usually run on time using the treatment rooms reserved specifically for each patient. Occasionally, there is a problem with patients who are not used to staying on schedule themselves. With that in mind, if you are not going to be able to honor your appointment time and will likely run more than 15 minutes late, please call to confirm availability and make other arrangements if needed. A 24 hour notice for cancelled appointments is necessary in order to avoid a $50 service fee. This is the minimum charge for missed appointments and cancellations with less than 24 hours notice. Phone messages can be left at 404-949-0550 anytime; 48 hours or more advance notice is preferred, but 24 hours notice is required. This policy allows us a small window of time to schedule another patient who would also benefit from treatment. The policy also enables us to develop mutual consideration and respect for our valuable time and yours.  

Bottom line:  If you make an appointment, please keep it. Or, change it before it affects others too much. Do it every time, but especially for Saturday slots. Chronic offenders will be charged. Thanks.
