- No acupuncture does not hurt, especially with the “Painless Needling Technique” created by Dr. Alejandro Elorriaga Clarco from Mcmaster University Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program.
The practitioner will first assess you and ask you a couple of questions based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and contemporary neuroscience, these questions will include asking about stress, diet, energy levels and sleep.
During the session, patients are asked to bring a pair of short and sports bra/tank top, if you do not have one, the practitioner will provide one for you.
During the acupuncture session, our licensed acupuncturist will assess your symptoms, and recommend a treatment plan with other beneficial therapies and herbal prescriptions offered at NeuroNivy.
