How To Prepare For An Acupuncture Treatment:
- On your first visit, please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork -- you may also download the New Patient Form, fill out and bring to your appointment.
- Total time for the first visit is approx. 1.5 hours, follow-up visit is approx. 1 hour.
- Come dressed simply, the less accessories or jewelry the better for easy access to different areas of the body for needling.
- Wear loose clothes especially loose pants, shorts, or skirt for easy access to the lower limbs for needling.
- Avoid intake of food or beverage that leaves color on the tongue so that our acupuncturist can make an accurate examination of your tongue.
- Avoid intake of alcohol before and after treatment.
- Do not come to treatment with a very hungry or very full stomach. It is best to eat moderately about 2 hours before treatment.
- Do not exercise vigorously right before treatment.
