For anyone suffering with Achilles tendinosis or planter fasciitis, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dave. I've done RICE, the boot, night splints & physical therapy for over a year, with minimal success. This has been my third bout with Achilles tendinosis over a 13 year period and anyone that has ever had it knows how debilitating and exhausting it can be. It has taken me seven sessions over a two month period to relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation ... and it is well worth it! It's been 5 weeks since my last visit and I'm walking with a normal gait & stride ... and less pain!

Acupuncture & Herbs: Chronic Pain

Acupuncture is effective for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal, headache, and osteoarthritis pain. Treatment effects of acupuncture persist over time and cannot be explained solely in terms of placebo effects. Referral for a course of acupuncture treatment is a reasonable option for a patient with chronic pain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Getting Started With Mobile Acupuncture

What is mobile acupuncture, and how does it work?

Mobile acupuncture brings the benefits of traditional acupuncture directly to your home. Dr. McKinnon will arrive with all the necessary equipment, including a comfortable treatment table and sterile needles, so you can relax in your own space while receiving professional care.

​​

What should I expect during my first session?

Your first session begins with a thorough discussion of your health history, concerns, and goals. Based on this, I’ll create a personalized treatment plan. The treatment itself typically lasts 30-60 minutes, and I’ll ensure you’re comfortable and informed throughout the process.

​​

Is my home suitable for a treatment session?

All you need is a quiet space where we can set up a treatment table. Dr. Dave will everything required for your session, including sheets and pillows for added comfort. If you’re unsure, we can discuss your space during the booking process.

The Treatment Experience

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people find acupuncture to be virtually painless. The needles are incredibly thin, and while you might feel a slight pinch or tingling upon insertion, the sensation typically fades quickly, leaving you relaxed.

​​

How effective is acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been proven effective for many conditions, especially pain management. Studies have shown significant improvements in conditions like chronic pain, stress, and even digestive issues.

​

How often will I need treatments?

Treatment frequency varies based on your condition. Many patients start with weekly sessions, though severe conditions may require more frequent visits. During our initial consultation, we’ll design a schedule tailored to your needs.

Benefits of Mobile Acupuncture

Why choose mobile acupuncture over a traditional clinic?

Mobile acupuncture offers unparalleled convenience and comfort, including:

No driving or sitting in traffic.

More time to relax before and after your session.

Customized care in a familiar environment.

Flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.

​

Is in-home acupuncture as effective as in-clinic treatments?

Yes! Many clients find it even more effective, as being in a comfortable and familiar environment enhances relaxation and reduces stress—key factors in the healing process.

Practical Considerations

How safe is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is extremely safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. Our practice only uses single-use, sterile needles to ensure the highest level of hygiene and safety. Your well-being is always my top priority.

 

Do you accept insurance?

While we do not bill insurance directly, we can provide superbills that you can submit for potential reimbursement. If you need guidance on this process, I’m happy to help.
