WHAT TO EXPECT
Your intitial acupuncture treatment will last 90 minutes. The initial treatment includes a detailed health history, discussing your health concerns, providing an acupuncture treatment, and creating an effective treatment plan. Treatment may also include chinese medical massage, cupping therapy, or moxibustion if appropriate. When we discuss your treatment plan, we will talk about frequency of treatments and self-care recommendations in order to gain more results from less treatments in an effective manner.
Follow up treatments are 60 minutes: a 15-minute review of changes in your condition and 45 minutes for acupuncture & other modalities as needed.
We ask that you wear or bring loose fitting clothing, as this makes the evaluation and treatments easier.
Make sure to eat a light meal within a few hours of your acupuncture session, and refrain from strenuous exercise or alcohol for at least 3 hours after acupuncture.
