Meet Your Acupuncturist
Acupuncture, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a therapy that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body.
Our certified acupuncturist brings years of experience and a passion for holistic care to the Bridgwater community. We’re committed to helping you achieve optimal health naturally.
You’ll be asked about your chief complaint, pain patterns, sleep, digestion, stress, emotions, and general energy levels. This information helps your practitioner diagnose your condition according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your first visit includes a detailed consultation, followed by a personalized acupuncture treatment plan. Sessions are relaxing, safe, and tailored to your unique needs.
The needles are solid, sterile, and hair-thin—much finer than a hypodermic needle used for injections. Your practitioner will quickly and gently insert them into the chosen acupoints.
Most people feel little to no pain upon insertion. Once the needle reaches the correct depth or is gently manipulated, you may feel a unique sensation known as De Qi (pronounced “duh-chee”). This is not pain, but rather a dull ache, heaviness, tingling, or warmth, which is considered a sign that the needle has effectively stimulated the energy pathway.
