Acupuncture Treatments

People new to acupuncture often are uncertain what to expect when they first visit an acupuncturist. At Emanuele Acupuncture, Rosanne begins her work exploring the patient’s health history and concerns. She then selects from the following classic methods and procedures at the initial and subsequent sessions. Most patients return for 6-10 sessions, depending upon the state of their health, and the sessions last 45-60 minutes. Payment is accepted using Venmo or cash, check or card. Receipts are available. Increasingly insurance companies honor acupuncture in Michigan, ask your insurance rep if acupuncture is a benefit.

Treatment fee is $90.

All procedures are painless and have no unwanted side effects

Acupuncture - The therapeutic use of various types of sterile, thin, stainless steel, one-time-use disposable needles. Also the use of a Japanese specialized dull-tipped needle which is gently held on the surface of the skin without puncturing it.

Medical Qi Gong - As energy (Qi) is released from the needles, Rosanne manually moves the Chi along from above the body, to help with the reorganization of energy.

Cupping - Glass suction cups applied to the skin help reduce muscular tension and toxins.

Hot Packs - Packs placed on various locations to “warm” the “cold” spots on the body.

Teishin – A Japanese gold hand-held tool, tapped on the surface to release blocked or swollen tissue. 

Gua Sha – A simple ancient technique of rubbing pre-oiled skin releasing trapped heat and congestion.

Patients typically experience improvement after each session. Just as significant , patients enjoy feeling renewed, refreshed, and grounded. To learn more about our patients' experiences and for more information see testimonials.
