A. We use individually packed, sterile and disposable needles. The needles are very thin, not much thicker than a hair (about 0.18 mm in diameter). The needles are inserted a fraction of an inch into the specific areas on the skin, which are called Acupoints. You won't feel pain or might not feel anything when the needle is going in.
Continue to take your prescription medications as prescribed by your primary care physician. Since then, the number of people who have accepted acupuncture has kept growing. According to the Arthritis Foundation, today acupuncture treatment has become one of the most popular unconventional therapies in the United States and about 15 million American have tried acupuncture so far.
A. Usually the acupuncture treatment takes about one hour every time. The first visit lasts longer than subsequent ones; the practitioner takes an initial physical examination and notes the extensive medical history for every patient. Then, the practitioner puts all of this information together to make a diagnosis, identifying which pattern of disharmony is involved, and advises you on the course of treatment.

I have been to various acupuncturists over the years. I have had the best results with Dr. Helen. She is confident in her diagnosis making several pulse checks and adjusting the treatment accordingly.
I also find her empathetic and caring. She is accommodating always finding time to squeeze me in when I am suddenly not feeling well.
I highly recommend her.

First time going to this doctor today. From the minute I walked into the door until I left, I felt so welcomed and relaxed. The doctor is so happy, nice and comforting. I felt like we knew each other for a long time. She explains everything to you and she understands what I’m going through and wants to make her patients feel better💖

I have been seeing Helen for over two yrs now. I can't imagine life without her. She has over 20 yrs of experience and it shows! She is warm and compassionate. She has helped with small issues to an injury that I would have had to be on medication for years. I have never been a healthier body & mind since starting Acupuncture with her. If you have any hesitation, talk to her and if you believe the alternative like polluting yourself with medication or surgery is for you at least you have thought about what is the healthy holistic option first.
Helen does not mind if you have to cancel

I've been going to Helen for almost a year. She is just amazing. From maintenance to specific issues, she knows just what to do. I've been referred by friends and in turn, have referred friends and family to her as well. The best referral to any healthcare professional is from someone who has experienced a visit and came away satisfied and a sense of being heard. Skeptical people may not get as much out of alternative medicine as open-minded people - but I bet they come away a little less skeptical. = ) Helen's office is small and with only curtains separating the 2 rooms and the
