No. Acupuncture works whether or not you believe it will work. Acupuncture treatments have been given successfully to animals and children, and while they may not understand or believe in this process, their health and condition improves regardless. Though a positive attitude helps with any type of therapy, it is not necessary to believe in acupuncture or Chinese Medicine (or to feel it working) for it to truly be effective.

Since positive expectations and beliefs in a particular therapy help to increase therapeutic results, we encourage you to raise any questions, concerns, or doubts that you may have about acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. We would like to help you better understand acupuncture and Chinese Medicine so that you may have the most positive healing experience possible. You are invited to contact us today and we will personally respond to any questions or comments promptly.
