Weight Loss, High Cholesterol and Diabetes

The duration to see noticeable results can vary greatly from person to person due to individual differences in body composition, lifestyle, and the nature and severity of the condition being treated. Some patients might notice improvements within a few sessions, while others may need several weeks of consistent treatment to see significant changes.

It's important to note that acupuncture and herbal treatments are not quick fixes but are part of a holistic approach to health and wellness. Consistency is key, and lasting changes often come with regular treatments and healthy lifestyle modifications. We usually recommend regular sessions, coupled with a balanced diet and regular exercise, for the best outcomes.

Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. However, like any treatment, it can have potential side effects. These might include minor bleeding or bruising at needle sites, mild pain or discomfort during or after the treatment, and temporary lightheadedness. These side effects are usually minor and subside quickly.

Herbal treatments also have potential side effects, depending on the specific herbs used and the individual's response to them. Some people may experience digestive upset, allergic reactions, or interactions with other medications they are taking. It's important to discuss all medications and supplements you're currently taking with your practitioner to avoid any potential interactions.

Yes, many insurance providers do cover acupuncture treatments, but it can depend on your specific plan and provider. Some insurances may require a referral or only cover certain conditions. It's always best to check directly with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your plan.

As for herbal supplements, these are typically not covered by insurance. However, we strive to make our treatments as affordable as possible and offer discounts on packages. We are here to work with you to find a treatment plan that fits your health needs and financial situation.

While acupuncture, herbs, and supplements can significantly aid in managing weight, cholesterol, and diabetes, they should not be viewed as a replacement for conventional medicine, especially without consulting your healthcare provider. These treatments can complement your current medication regimen by addressing symptoms, enhancing overall well-being, and helping your body function optimally.

However, it's important to have open communication with all your healthcare providers about all treatments and medications you are using. This ensures coordinated and safe care. Your health and safety are our priority, and we are here to work in conjunction with your existing healthcare plan to provide the best holistic care.
