It can vary. At the first appointment we will probably chat a little longer, The usual treatment lasts about 45 minutes, but some people stay an hour or so. If you have somewhere to be please let the acupuncturist know what time to wake you up. Needles can be left in for as little as 20 minutes and you will still get good results. After treatment most people feel refreshed and energized. Other people don’t feel anything until the next day. There is no right or wrong experience with your own healing.
