Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. In our Northwest Houston office, we incorporate healing techniques from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries.

  • Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other countries for thousands of years.
  • Scientists are studying the efficacy of acupuncture for a wide range of conditions.
  • Relatively few complications have been reported from the use of acupuncture.

What To Expect from Acupuncture

During your initial  visit, Dr. Horsley may ask you at length about your health condition, lifestyle, and behavior. She will want to obtain a complete picture of your needs and behaviors that may contribute to your condition.

Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin.  People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted.  Some people feel energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.  Acupuncture treatments may take place over a period of several weeks or more depending on the patient’s individual case and response to treatment.
