Before your first visit
A few clear answers before you book.
Open a question for a quick answer, or book when you are ready.
Does acupuncture hurt?
+
Most patients describe the needles as light, subtle, or barely noticeable. Your practitioner will explain each step, check in during treatment, and adjust the approach to your comfort.
What should I expect at my first visit?
+
We begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, history, goals, and current health. Treatment may include acupuncture and, when appropriate, other supportive recommendations. You can ask questions throughout the visit.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
+
There is no fixed number. It depends on what you are addressing, how long it has been present, and how your body responds. We reassess the plan as your symptoms change rather than asking you to commit to a preset package.
Does insurance cover acupuncture?
+
Coverage varies by plan. Balance Healthcare accepts PPO insurance, but benefits depend on your insurer, deductible, authorization rules, and plan limits. Send your plan details for a benefits check before booking.
