Acupuncture FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

The needles are hair-thin — most clients feel a brief tap, then nothing, and many fall asleep during the session. It's a deeply relaxing experience, not a painful one.

Acute issues often respond in a few sessions; chronic conditions benefit from a consistent series. Joshua will lay out a realistic plan at your first visit.

Acupuncture works with the body's meridian system for whole-body balance, while dry needling targets specific muscle trigger points for pain relief. Joshua is trained in both — and often combines them.

Yes — Joshua is a Colorado-licensed acupuncturist and NCCAOM Diplomate using sterile, single-use needles. Sessions are tailored to your health history.

Loose, comfortable clothing that rolls easily above the knees and elbows is ideal. Most points are on the arms, legs, back, and ears — you stay clothed for most sessions.
