In naturopathic medicine, it’s important to separate fact from fiction so you can make the best decision for your wellness, and Connecticut Natural Medicine seeks to further your holistic education about our services, such as acupuncture therapy.

As we debunk common myths and misconceptions, we will also reveal the truth so you can start acupuncture worry-free.

Myth 1: Acupuncture Is Painful

Fact: Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture therapy is a generally pain-free experience. The needles used are incredibly thin, and actually are much finer than those used for injections.

Some may describe the sensation as a mild tingling, which signifies the activation of energy points. Although overall, the process is designed to be comfortable to curate a relaxing, stress-free session.

If you experience any pain or discomfort during your acupuncture session, please inform your doctor immediately. Our acupuncturists are dedicated to making you feel comfortable and as supported as possible.

Myth 2: Acupuncture Only Works For Pain Management

Fact: While acupuncture is most known for treating pain, its benefits extend far beyond that.

Acupuncture therapy can also help treat:

• ​Infertility

• PMS, Irregular Menses & Endometriosis

• Reproductive concerns

• Preconception & Pregnancy Care

• Timely labor support

• Menopausal symptoms

• Digestive Issues

• Chronic Fatigue & Chronic Pain

• Sleep Disorders

• Anxiety & Depression

Myth 3: Acupuncture Is a One-Time Fix

Fact: Acupuncture often requires multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. While some individuals may experience immediate relief, the cumulative effects of acupuncture after a few sessions are much more effective.

Connecticut Natural Medicine looks at the whole body to help you heal, so we recommend a personalized treatment plan to address all health concerns and ensure long-lasting benefits.

Myth 4: Acupuncture Is Not Compatible with Other Therapies
