Then you lay down on one of the heated massage tables, receive your treatment, and relax while healing music is playing. Acupuncture, cupping, heat, TENs unit, and various modes of therapy are used, all with the idea of getting you better - acupuncture helps you function better, with significantly less pain, better sleep, better digestion, and better moods. It's also cumulative....so although one treatment is nice, if you want to work on something and you've had it for 10 years, expect to need at least a month of 1-2 times a week of acupuncture to see some real progress. Acupuncture is not a religion - it's a form of therapy. It utilizes meridians and muscle releases to help people get better.
