Acupuncture Treatment Tips

Acupuncture treatments can immediately relieve symptoms but also continue to work over time contributing to healing and wellness. It is very beneficial to have consistent treatment as regular acupuncture sessions will strengthen your immune system, balance hormones and ease emotional tension.

 

The following helpful tips will help you get the most from your experience.

  • Please complete the consent form and contact information prior to treatment.

    • ​Please indicate any medications of supplements you are taking, specific medical concerns​ and if you are, or could be, pregnant.

  • Please turn off off or silence your cell phone, so you are not disturbed during treatment.

  • Please use the restroom if needed before your treatment. You will be resting for approximately 30 minutes one the needles are in place.

  • Be sure to eat lightly and minimize or avoid caffeine prior to receiving your acupuncture treatment. This will allow for a greater state of relaxation.

  • Once the needles are in place, you may feel a heaviness, slight tingle or warmth. This is a positive response for treatment. Some people feel very relaxed and may fall asleep.

  • Please ask for assistance if you need anything, are uncomfortable, or need to use the restroom once treatment starts. You MUST not get up once the needles are in place.

  • It is beneficial to relax after your treatment. Scheduling time off from work or even a nap after treatment, can further assist in the body's healing response.

  • Questions or feedback after your session are always welcome!
