Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need for chronic pain relief?
Most patients notice improvement within 3-6 treatments, with optimal results typically achieved after 8-12 sessions. Chronic conditions that have been present for years may require more treatments initially, followed by maintenance sessions.
Does acupuncture hurt? What should I expect?
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and most patients feel minimal discomfort. You may experience a mild tingling, heaviness, or warmth – these are positive signs that the treatment is working. Many patients find the experience deeply relaxing.
Is acupuncture covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans now cover acupuncture for chronic pain. We'll help verify your benefits and work with you to maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible payment options for those without coverage.
What makes your approach different from other pain treatments?
Our integrative approach combines Josh's nursing expertise with advanced acupuncture techniques. We treat the whole person, not just the pain, addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to chronic conditions. This leads to more lasting results than symptom-only treatments.
"I had chronic back pain for over 10 years after a car accident. Nothing helped long-term until I found Josh at Common Roots. After 8 treatments, I'm pain-free and back to hiking. The combination of his medical knowledge and acupuncture skills is incredible."
