ACUPUNCTURE - New Patient Information
What happens during an appointment?
During a typical acupuncture appointment, the first few minutes will be used to discuss the progress/changes regarding your main concern, as well as other new information about your overall health. The practitioner will also gather information by feeling your radial pulses and looking at your tongue. Treatments can include acupuncture, magnets, electrical stimulation, cupping, Guasha or TuiNa. Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments can also include moxibustion, but due to sensitivities and health issues of other patients Moxibustion is not used at this acupuncture clinic.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
For you appointment, please wear LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING. Pants should be easily pushed up past the knee and shirt sleeves easily pushed up over the shoulder. If the practitioner needs access to your back you will be asked to put on a gown.
Please make sure you are HYDRATED and have STABLE BLOOD SUGAR prior to your appointment.
Many people feel slightly TIRED after receiving treatments, so you may want to allow yourself some time to relax after your appointment.
THIS IS A SCENT FREE ENVORNMENT
Please do not wear perfume or scented lotions to your appointment. Many other patients are highly sensitive to smells and we ask that you please be respectful to them
