Although acupuncture has ancient Chinese origins, the team at Silverlake Clinic identifies the specific nerves and soft tissues in need of healing from a Western medicine perspective to give you the best possible results.

What should I expect when I come in for acupuncture?
Many people assume that acupuncture is painful, but this isn’t the case for most people. The needles are roughly the width of a thick hair. While you might feel slight discomfort from the needles in some locations, but you won’t feel any pain. Shortly after the needle enters your skin, you might feel warm, heavy, or tingling sensations in the region.
The needles remain in place for a set amount of time as you relax and breathe in a tranquil, dimly lit room. Sessions last between 20 and 30 minutes, and you may fall asleep. The team checks on you periodically throughout the process.
