Prenatal Massage

The duration of your session will depend on what you are coming in for. Most sessions last between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

As long as you arrive having eaten a small snack, drank water, and have not had any alcohol, there should be little to no negative side effects of acupuncture. You may experience small bruises at the site of needle insertion, otherwise acupuncture is extremely safe.

Overall acupuncture should not hurt. Many people even fall asleep once the tiny needles are placed. However, everyone has a different pain tolerance and experience. At Moon Rabbit we will check in to make sure that your experience is as gentle, comfortable, and relaxing as possible.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles (30 times thinner than the traditional needle you experience at your physician’s office) at strategic points on the body.  Most people believe that acupuncture only treats pain, however it has a myriad of other uses including overall wellness and stress management.

From an eastern perspective, acupuncture is a technique for balancing the flow of qi (pronounced chee), or energy, which flows through meridians in your body.  By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture re-establishes balance for overall health and wellbeing.

Alternatively, the Western biomedical perspective is that acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and fascia (connective tissue).  From a biochemical perspective, findings from basic medical research have demonstrated that acupuncture stimulation causes a release of endorphins, serotonin, enkephalins, and γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA; a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the brain), norepinephrine, and dopamine
