Yes. We provide age-appropriate acupuncture and holistic treatments for children, teens, and entire families. Many children respond remarkably well to acupuncture for growing pains, sports injuries, stress, allergies, sleep issues, and digestive concerns.

Children are often more comfortable with acupuncture than adults expect. We use gentle techniques, take time to explain the process, and create a calm, reassuring environment. Most children find the experience relaxing and are proud of their bravery.

Initial exam and treatment typically take 60-90 minutes, including comprehensive health discussion and your first treatment.

Follow-up treatments are usually 30-60 minutes, making them manageable even with busy work and family schedules.

This depends entirely on your condition and how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms:

• Acute issues (recent injuries, sudden stress): Often respond within 3-5 treatments
• Chronic conditions (long-standing pain, ongoing stress): Typically require 6-12+ sessions for lasting results
• Complex chronic conditions: May require ongoing treatment over several months

We’ll discuss realistic expectations for your specific situation during your consultation. Many patients begin noticing improvements within the first few treatments, with continued progress over time.

Many insurance plans now cover acupuncture, particularly for chronic pain conditions. Major insurers serving the Austin area—including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Cigna—often include acupuncture benefits, though coverage varies by specific plan.

We recommend calling your insurance provider to verify your benefits, number of covered treatments, and any referral requirements. We provide detailed documentation and superbills for insurance reimbursement.

When performed by a Licensed Acupuncturist with proper training, acupuncture is extremely safe. We use single-use, sterile, FDA-approved needles disposed of immediately after treatment. We maintain the highest hygiene standards and follow all safety protocols.

Serious adverse events from acupuncture are extraordinarily rare. Minor side effects like slight bruising or temporary soreness occasionally occur but resolve quickly. Acupuncture is significantly safer than many common medical interventions and over-the-counter medications.

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable acupuncture is. The needles are hair-thin—much finer than needles used for injections or blood draws—and insertion is typically painless or involves only a very brief, mild sensation.

You may feel slight tingling, warmth, or heaviness at needle sites, which indicates the acupuncture point has been activated. Most patients describe the overall experience as deeply relaxing, and many fall asleep during treatment.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs (below elbows and knees). Many acupuncture points are located on forearms, lower legs, and feet.

We can work around most clothing, but loose sleeves and pant legs make treatment more comfortable. Avoid tight jeans or restrictive clothing if possible.
