Dr. Jennie Wong will ask about your medical history and symptoms. She'll also do an exam — similar to what you’d experience in a doctor visit. This is a way for her to find any imbalances in your body.

Based on the exam, she’ll select the appropriate points to insert needles. Typically, you'll get treatment on your symptoms, plus any other underlying conditions that may be connected.

You’ll lie down or sit on a table, and the doctor will put needles into various points on your body, called meridians. These are energy channels in the body. Through thousands of years of learning, traditional Chinese medicine has compiled very complete and complex systems of meridians. The acupuncturist puts needles into those meridians to help regulate and move the body back to homeostasis, or wellness.

Typically, sessions may go for 20 to 30 minutes depending on your treatment. The acupuncturist will usually dim the lights and put on quiet music to help you relax. They’ll come in and check on you throughout your session to make sure you’re comfortable. Some patients actually fall asleep during the treatment.
