FAQ
Questions you may have
Have another question? Add a note when booking and we'll get back to you before your visit.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are extremely fine, far thinner than injection needles. Most people feel only a slight sensation on insertion, sometimes followed by a dull ache, warmth or heaviness. Many clients relax enough to fall asleep.
Is acupuncture safe?
All needles are single-use, sterile and disposed of after each treatment. Yi is a Registered Acupuncturist in Ontario and follows provincial practice and safety standards. Please let us know if you are pregnant, take blood thinners or have other health conditions.
How should I prepare?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing and have a light meal beforehand; avoid coming hungry or overly full. For facial acupuncture, please come without makeup if possible.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you've had it and how your body responds. After your first assessment, we'll discuss a frequency and plan that suits you.
Is it covered by insurance?
Many extended health benefit plans cover services by a Registered Acupuncturist; please check your coverage with your insurer. At Bellefleur, The Massage Therapy Company and New Life, the clinic can bill most insurers directly. At the private studio, you'll receive an official receipt to submit yourself.
