Are the needles sterile? Are needles reused?
Your health and safety is of utmost importance to us. Licensed acupuncturists are required to be certified in Clean Needle Techniques and use sterilized, individually packaged, disposable needles. We never reuse needles! A brand new set of premium grade, sterilized, individually packaged acupuncture needles are used for each patient. All our needles used here are one time, disposable needles. In 1996 the Food and Drug Administration approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners, with the requirement that the needles be sterile, nontoxic, and disposed of after a single use.
