What Can Acupuncture Do?
When applied to specific points on the body, acupuncture treatment can stimulate the nervous system. This may help alter your experience of pain and activate other chemicals and hormones involved in the body’s natural regulation system.
Traditional acupuncture theory holds that energy flows within the human body, and these channels can be used to promote balance and health. This energy flow, known as Qi, moves through the body along 12 main channels, called meridians, which represent the major organs and functions of the body. For those seeking acupuncture in Burlington, these principles are the foundation of effective care.

What to Expect on Your First Acupuncture Visit
During your first visit to our Burlington acupuncture clinic, you’ll receive a full assessment, including an in-depth review of your current symptoms and personal history. Based on the assessment, our team will develop the most effective and appropriate acupuncture treatment plan.
The acupuncturist will carefully insert very fine, sterilized acupuncture needles under the skin at specific acupuncture points. Due to the thinness of the needles, patients typically experience minimal discomfort.
After the insertion, the needles may be gently moved or twirled to relieve any pressure or swelling that might be present in a particular area. In addition, the practitioner may also apply heat or a mild electric pulse to the needles inserted in the skin.
Typically, the needles will remain in place for fifteen to thirty minutes while the patient lies still and relaxes. When removed, no sensation of discomfort is usually experienced.
The acupuncturist may recommend more sessions to better assist pain and discomfort, depending on your circumstances. That’s because we don’t believe in “cookie-cutter” approaches. Each client at Pillars of Wellness is unique, and that’s why we aim to take the time and effort to get to know you and what you’re going through — helping you feel better while experiencing the most effective treatment possible.
