With a Plan Built for Your Body, Not a Template

acute or chronic pain, difficulty managing stress, sleep disturbances, hormonal imbalances, digestive discomfort, and
more. Complementary medicine practices such as acupuncture can play an important role in restoring and
maintaining balance.
At Viva Infusions, acupuncture offers a personalized approach to tailored to support your unique treatment goals.
What is Acupuncture?
How Does It Work?
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that involves inserting thin, sterile, single-use needles into specific points — called acu-points — along the body’s meridians. It’s known for its effectiveness in promoting physical and emotional well-being and can be used as a complementary therapy alongside other medical treatments.
Here’s what happens beneath the surface: these points are small areas along the meridians with high concentrations of nerve endings, lymphatic vessels, and blood vessels. While inserting a needle at one of these points is relatively painless, it activates the nervous system, triggering a cascade of hormones and neurotransmitters that influence the body’s own internal regulating systems — helping restore balance, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
What May Acupuncture Support?
Everyone’s reasons are different. Here are a few common ones.
Pain Management
Supports comfort, mobility, and recovery — whether you're managing an injury, chronic pain, or everyday tension.
Stress Reduction
Encourages relaxation and may ease the physical and mental effects of everyday stress.
Sleep Support
May support healthy sleep patterns and a more restful night's sleep.
Women's Health
Can be incorporated into care for hormonal shifts, cycle-related symptoms, and other life transitions
Digestive Health
May support healthy digestion and help ease digestive discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is acupuncture commonly used for?
Some common reasons people seek acupuncture include:
- Ongoing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or trouble sleeping
- Chronic pain, tight muscles, or tension headaches
- Hormonal imbalances or menstrual concerns
- Digestive issues or a sluggish metabolism
2. Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people find acupuncture to be comfortable and well tolerated. The needles used are extremely thin, and sensations are often described as mild pressure, warmth, tingling, or heaviness rather than pain. Many individuals report feeling relaxed during their session.
3. Is acupuncture safe?
When performed by a qualified provider using sterile, single-use needles, acupuncture is generally considered safe for most individuals. Your consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your health history and determine whether acupuncture is appropriate for your needs. If you have specific medical concerns, they should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
4. How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments needed differs from person to person, which depends on your history, severity of the condition being addressed, as well as your body constitution and how you respond to the needling stimulation. For complex or long-standing conditions, more treatments over a longer period of time may be recommended. For acute problems, usually fewer visits are needed. For maintenance health care, some people choose to come in a few times a year while others stick to a regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule.
5. Can acupuncture support relaxation and healthy sleep habits?
Yes. Acupuncture can help activate the body’s natural relaxation response, which may ease stress and make it easier to fall and stay asleep — particularly when sleep issues are linked to stress or a busy mind. It works well alongside good sleep habits rather than as a replacement for them.
