Acupuncture uses very fine needles placed at specific points to reduce pain and release tension. The needles are far thinner than the ones used for injections, and most patients are surprised by how little they feel.
At Ryan Blossey Chiropractic it is often used alongside chiropractic treatment. An adjustment restores movement to a restricted joint. Acupuncture settles the muscle tension and pain response around it, which is frequently what makes the result last.

The honest version, because most people arrive nervous
The needles are about the thickness of a hair. Most points you will not feel at all. At some you may notice a brief dull ache or a heavy sensation, which usually settles within seconds and is a normal part of the treatment.
Once the needles are placed you rest for roughly twenty minutes. Most patients find this part unexpectedly relaxing, and a fair number fall asleep. Afterwards you may feel loose and a little tired for a few hours, or you may feel nothing unusual at all.
Results build rather than arrive all at once. Some patients notice a difference after one session. Most need a short course before the change holds. We will tell you after the first few visits whether this is working for you, rather than booking you in indefinitely.
If it is not helping after a fair trial, we will say so and try something else.
