Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort. Our needles are ultra-fine—thinner than a human hair. Many patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition. Acute issues may resolve in 3–6 sessions, while chronic conditions may benefit from ongoing care. Dr. Kaur will create a personalized treatment plan during your initial visit.

Does Dr. Kaur accept insurance?

We accept HSA and FSA payments. Insurance reimbursement options are available. Contact us for details about your specific plan.
